This guide was originally put together for the many people I knew who were buying the game. So excuse the rants, they were directed at a local audience.

| January 2004 | Fixed minor errors, updated with song names and most sound sets names |

You'll see these terms often during the game.

Admittedly some of those shows had most their games on the WonderSwan, and since everyone in the Asia Pacific region gets them on TV… EXCEPT US… you may have seen but not heard of them eg. Hamutaro is the hamster games and show which I'm reliably told is aired in English here.
You shouldn’t know any of these unless you’re interest in J-Pop. If so you’re sad, and it’s good to meet you. BTW, if you notice that Japanese people can’t sing, then “well duh”.

Finally no more multi-lingual crap, we at least can understand the USA - simple-minded.
The T with lines through it symbolises a currency that simply doesn’t exist. I’ll use the west’s Yen symbol because it similar, and where they would of got the idea from.
Allows you to purchase songs for the expert modes. See song menu above, you can go see the prices yourself.
Sound Sets… haven’t finished this for a variety of reasons – mainly my limited knowledge of Kanji and also I unlocked most of them so I can’t see their names. This is the only part not covered in this guide. If people bugged me enough I would of finished it.
