Pop'n Music is a rhythm game series from Konami. Its first installment was released back in 1998 yada yada if you're here you probably already know what pop'n is. If you're familiar with pop'n, perhaps even in love with its music, characters and creators like I am, you're probably also aware of how the pop'n team used to share "comments" about the game itself and its songs from the artists and developers who participated in bringing them into the world. You might also know how, as the result of an unfortunate series of events, each game's individual webpage alongside all of the comments and other content shared there were taken down mid-Usaneko.
Luckily for us late-joiners of the fandom, most, if not all, of such content are still accessible via the Wayback Machine. However, the site often takes some time to load its pages, and navigating through its snapshots (and sometimes the game websites themselves, some are very old and have structures questionable by modern web design standards) may act as a barrier to those who aren't used to interacting with such archaic websites.
There are several different amazing "databases" or fansites that share character profiles, in-game story content, etc., maintained by the members of the pop'n community. To my knowledge, however, so far there are none which focus on staff comments and other game site-exclusive content. So, I've decided to build one myself; perhaps I might share it with the community once the point comes when I'm satisfied enough with it.
