Trivia

3aya

Aya labeled as a CS1&2 character in the pop'n music 1-4 site

  • In the pop'n music 1-4 site, Aya is listed as a CS character for the very first game, including it's sequel.
    • However, this is wrong. Aya first appeared in pop'n music 3.
      • Ironically, she appears in a pop'n music éclale vol. 3 rare card, titled "JUDY→Suite Night FEVER LOOP!!→" where she, along with characters from the first game appear.
  • In a way she could be considered another edit of Mary or Judy. As she dresses like them, and most likely has similar dancing to them.
  • In Beach, Uncle JAM makes a cameo in Aya's LOSE animation, while Dia appears in Aya's WIN animation.
  • She is very similar to Tourmaline. Both wear/wore orange clothes and have a relation to Mary somehow.

  • Aya shares her birthdate with Temari, Natsubou, Hara=Hetta, Tang Tang, Really, Yang Yang and Tsukasa Kirishima.
