Welcome to Portable Party! This is a fansite dedicated to the translation and archiving of pop'n music portable 2, especially its "Party Mode".
This translation along with the site itself is a huge WIP at the moment, but I hope you enjoy your visit!

(I tried to make the site as mobile-friendly as possible,
but please note that it's better viewed on a computer!)

The site receives slow updates, so please be patient!


☆ What's pop'n music? ☆

Pop'n music is a rhythm game series developed by KONAMI's music game division, BEMANI.
This site focuses on portable 2, a CS port of pop'n music 16 PARTY♪, the 16th arcade installment of the franchise. Which began operation on March 24th, 2008, and ended official support on
February 18th, 2009.
Pop'n music portable 2, released on November 23rd, 2011, was the second and final Pop'n Music game on the PlayStation Portable, as well as the last CS port of the series.


☆ What's the Party Mode? ☆

Portable 2's unlock system, a (sort of) story mode in where you will navigate through different areas looking for various people and items to host a party, and thus, unlock songs and characters.
While portable 2 isn't the most lore-heavy pop'n game (it's not like pop'n has that much lore anyway), the interactions between the characters are fun to read (and overanalyze if you're like me), so I really wanted to give it a proper translation. Also, because I love archiving stuff!
But even if the priority of this translation is the Party Mode, I won't limit to that! I'll translate the information on the character profiles and other stuff I find as well. As long as it's related to portable 2 (or pop'n in general if i'm feeling silly enough), it counts!


☆ Navigation ☆

The little MimiNyamis you see at the start of each page (along with other graphics) are made by me! If you respost them anywhere, please credit me and don't claim them as your own. Thank u :)

The only page available for now is the character dictionary,
along with Mimi, Nyami and MZD's pages.



I'll clarify that I know very little japanese, so all of these translations are done with machine translation and a dictionary, plus english is not my first language.
If I make any mistake please contact me so I can correct it!

No need to ask for permission if you wanna use any of these translations, I don't mind as long as you give me credit. Although I don't recommend putting them on a wiki or something like that, unless a person who is way more knowledgeable about japanese revises them first.

Note: I'm only translating the base game for now. I haven't checked the DLC yet, so if there is content that's added with it, it will be translated way later.
