== 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

* An early-looking W.B.ROSE, who later came into the series with [[AC pnm 6|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.8.TARO)

* Early-looking YOSHIO, who was later put in [[AC pnm 7|pop'n music 7]]

* A see-through Mimi (possibly used as the concept of hone nyami in [[AC pnm 9|pop'n music 9]]), which was later used on the LOSE animation of [[Torte&Parfait]] from [[AC pnm 19|pop'n music 19 TUNE STREET]]

* 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 [[AC pnm 11|pop'n music 11]] license [[Ore wa Gian-sama da!|おれはジャイアンさまだ!]])

* 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 (possibly redesigned as Cyber)

* Stereotypical Chinese girl with brown, braided hair (possibly model of LingLing in [[AC pnm 3|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 [[AC pnm 8|pop'n music 8]])

* 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|SPACE🪐MACO]]?)
