Scrapped Songs

It is known that KONAMI often leaves unused data on their games. Sometimes, that data contains graphics, charts, and even song cuts of unused licensed and KONAMI original songs. This page will list every known song that has been scrapped at some point on arcade and console BEMANI games.

This page does NOT include any of the following information:

• Unused songs that were later included in a later release of the same series (e.g. the CS songs in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro that were later put in SPADA). For more information, see Later Appearing Songs.
• BEMANI songs that were planned to be crossed over to a game but never appeared in a final release. For more information, see What Could Have Been.
• Rejected FLOOR contest songs.

This page is under HEAVY construction. If you're going to add any songs here, please post proof on the Talk Page first.

beatmania

beatmania 5thMIX

• MISSION IMPOSSIBLE / FREESTYLERS
  • References to this song and SKIN can be found on the beatmania 5thMIX data. Its placeholder genre is TECHNO.

beatmania ClubMIX

DanceDanceRevolution

DanceDanceRevolution

• MONEY / RAGGA TWINS
  • One of the songs only available at the DanceDanceRevolution location tests, along with BOYS. Unlike BOYS, MONEY never appeared again, although music data for MONEY can be found on the disc for DanceDanceRevolution CS (Japan), as well as on early Internet Ranking Ver. builds. MAKE IT BETTER shares many musical similarities, so it has been speculated that it was composed as a replacement for MONEY.

DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX

• I'M THE ONE / ???
  • On the DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX location tests, I'M THE ONE was the second STEP BATTLE song. It was replaced by LET THEM MOVE on the final release.
    • The internal code for LET THEM MOVE is "imth", strongly suggesting (but not proving) that it's the same song.
    • The piece of BGM from DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX titled ENDING ~GIVE ME A REASON~ has vocals samples that could have been part of I'M THE ONE. These samples could have been re-used just for this piece or ENDING ~GIVE ME A REASON~ is a short version of I'M THE ONE.
