- Released: March 1999
- Like the original Pop'n Music, there's only one difficulty level for songs. The easiest is Masara, which is a 5. The hardest is Heavy Metal, which is a 23.
- This is the first game in the series to have speed modifiers. However, the only one is 2X.
- First game to feature CG designer shio. However, she wouldn't become a permanent part of the staff until Pop'n Music 5.
- Famous J-POP artist Ichiro Mizuki sings Anime Hero R. He's had a career in singing songs for various mecha series in Japan since the early 1970s. He also appeared in the first Nintendo 64 Ganbare Goemon game, where he sang the song Ore wa Impact (I Am Impact). Incidentally, Anime Hero R is the only song from this game that would get an EX chart in the future, which in did Pop'n Music 9.

Rejected designs
The Pop'n Music series has a long history of rejected characters. Some never saw the light of day, and some would later be used many years or mixes later. For the second game, these include
- A girl wearing a hat with dog flaps, as well as a jacket, shorts, and big boots (later retooled as White-Merry in Pop'n Music 13 Carnival)
- Fat Boy, who later came into the series with Pop'n Stage
- Smoke, who was redesigned nine years later and put in Pop'n Music 16 Party
- An early-looking W.B. Rose, who later came into the series with Pop'n Music 6
- A girl in blue overalls, with a multi-colored, long sleeve shirt and red shoes with white stripes. Her hair consists of brown pigtails with a rainbow hat on top, and has a giant pink bear behind her
- A human, male samurai (possibly redesigned as S.B. Taro)
- Early-looking Yoshio, who was later put in Pop'n Music 7
- A see-through Mimi (possibly used as the concept of Hone Nyami in Pop'n Music 9)
- A panda bear with a microphone, wearing a yellow sweater with green stripes, brown pants, and light blue shoes (Nyami would later don this wardrobe in Pop'n Music 11)
- A happy man with purple hair in a yellow space suit, a red star on his knees, shoulder, and shirt, and wears purple shoes / skates (early Ryusei*Honey??)
- Stereotypical Chinese girl with brown, braided hair (possibly model of LingLing in Pop'n Music 3)
- A woman in a long, blue dress with butterflies on it, with long blue hair that covers up one of her eyes. A flower also dons her head (possibly retooled as Honey in Pop'n Music 8)
- A frog with yellow gloves and looks vaguely like Kermit the Frog
- A girl in a yellow bee costume (early Hina??)
- A nun in purple garb (possibly retooled as Jessica in Pop'n Music 6)
- A girl with blonde hair (with three flowers on top of it), star eyes, and wears a red dress and a blue t-shirt underneath it. She's also holding a wand in her hand and is accompanied by a little cat and rabbit (early Space Maco??)
