HELLO! POP'N MUSIC Translations


During the early days of the spin-off game HELLO! POP’N MUSIC, each time you played using your e-amusement card, you would be able to receive one email a day from the character you played as. The service began on April 1st, 2011 and ended on March 31st, 2012, when the e-amusement pass member site for the game shut down. Between all eleven playable characters, there were a total of 110 emails (10 emails per character).

Unfortunately, not many of the emails have been archived due to the end of the service. Rie-chan, Milk, Yuli, Ash, and Smile’s emails exist online in their entirety, and MZD’s first four emails have been posted online. All that remains of the rest of the emails are very brief summaries and small snippets.

Here you will find translated versions of currently available emails in the visual style of the original emails. All sources are linked at the bottom of the page.
