JAEPO 2014 LOCATION TEST STORIES
Yeah, these were a thing!
At the first location test for Lapistoria, there were only 2 playable characters: Rinka with her spiffy new animations, and Tune Street's Alicia. Not too exciting, right? Well... these girls had their own stories that unlocked a new Lapistoria song for a lucky guest to play! What song unlocked varied; Rinka unlocked Retsu's song, 煌-灼熱の裁き-, while Alicia unlocked Zizz's song, 終末の序曲～オワリノハジマリ～. Both of these are defaults in the final game.
To my knowledge, no footage of the stories exists, but PMDream archived the text for both! So massive thanks to them! No information on emoticons or actions, though.

So this is Lapistoria? All I saw was those little gems shining- we got here so quick!~ | ここがラピストリアかぁ〜 宝石が光ったと思ったら あっという間だったなぁ |

Hiumi, Fuga! ...wait, huh? Where's Retsu?! | 氷海ちゃん！風雅くん！ ・・・ってあれっ？ 烈くんがいないよ！？ |
|
Hm? I wonder if he was separated from us. | あら？ どこかではぐれたのかしら |
 |
Maybe he'll show up if you play some Pop'n? | ポップンでもしてたら そのうち出てくるんじゃないか？ |
|
Right, these gems are lapises that'll let us go back to the Pop'n World and play Pop'n... | そうだね この宝石『ラピス』を使えば ポップンワールドに戻って ポップンができちゃうんだよね |

Okay! I'll play a bunch of different songs to get used to Lapistoria! | よーし！ ラピストリアに慣れるためにも いろんな曲でポップンしてみよう！ |

Do you think we're here on vacation? | ちょっと 遊びにきたんじゃないのよ？ |
