Later Appearing Songs

It is known that KONAMI has a habit of having songs that appear in earlier BEMANI games, such as data that contains graphics, charts, and even song cuts of unused licensed and KONAMI original songs, before their proper debuts. This page will list every known song that appeared earlier in some way (HDD data, location test, master songlist, etc.) before its proper debut.

Note that unlike the Scrapped Songs page, this lists songs that only actually appeared in a final BEMANI game.

Songs are listed by the game they were going to debut on, not the game they finally appeared in.

This page is under HEAVY construction. For songs whose movements aren't covered by official KONAMI sources, please use the Talk Page.
