- Palette, a squirrel girl in the same clothing LingLing wears. Probably rejected and replaced by the latter.

- Johne, a goat(?) wearing a purple jacket, green shorts, and grey shoes. Possibly the inspiration of Kobe for Pop'n Music 4 CS

- Yuka, who looks much like Megumi from Pop'n Music 3 but taller and has her hair in two long ponytails. Possibly replaced by her
- 6
- Tina, a girl with brown hair in the same clothes as Kate from Pop'n Music 3. Possibly replaced by her
