Early Builds
The voice clips used in Kokuhaku Machine were originally performed by a "designer girl" who is also known to have voiced Space Dance and a first draft for The Bon Odori[1]. Due to this, Masami Yone made requests he wouldn't have otherwise to get the correct voicework, such as "Speak more embarrassedly!" and "Act like you haven't seen him in a while!"[2] Based off of internal data, this may be Sachiko Ikeo[3]. Kokuhaku Machine's name was derived from the Morning Musume song LOVE Machine, which was intended to be used as the music, but was cut due to copyright issues[4].
Unused Content
Neko Machine has unused text graphics, which was likely used in development as a guide for how the toy should work.
Rap Machine has an early version of the controller hidden in the background graphics, which shows an simpler separated design.
Miscellaneous
The second track used by the demo is an extended version of a jingle from an unused Drum Lesson-esque sequence[5].

I wrote the lyrics and music myself, asked a designer girl to sing the song, and had Tsunku♂-san listen to it. Then, Tsunku♂-san complimented me on my song, saying, "The singer is good". I had faint hopes that they might use the song as it was, but then, after that, Ami Tokito-san sang it for us. Even though it was just a draft, I put a lot of energy into it (laughs). The designer girl also voices Space Dance's "Turn Right" and Kokuhaku Machine.) ~ Masami Yone, Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu STAFF'S VOICE
- ↑ "「好き!」とか「嫌い!」とか、咳払いとか いろいろな声を収録したのですが、同じ社内のスタッフということもあり、かなり無理な注文をしたんですよね。たとえば、「もっと恥ずかしそうに言ってくれ!」とか、「彼としばらく会えていなかった感じで!」など、細かい指示を出した覚えがあります(笑)。" (We recorded a variety of voices, such as "I love you!" or "I hate you!" and throat clearing, but since we were staff members of the same company, we made some pretty unreasonable requests. For example, I remember giving detailed instructions like, "Speak more embarrassedly!" and "Act like you haven't seen him in a while!" (laughs) ~ リズム天国18のヒミツ (18 Secrets of Rhythm Tengoku)

The game was originally created as a sound game using Morning Musume's "LOVE Machine", for which Tsunku♂ wrote the lyrics and composed the music. However, due to copyright issues, we couldn't use the music from "LOVE Machine", so it became the current "Kokuhaku Machine". Incidentally, the "Kokuhaku" in "Kokuhaku Machine" was inspired by the "LOVE" in "LOVE Machine", and that's how we came up with the title.) ~ Masami Yone, ほぼ日刊イトイ新聞 - 樹の上の秘密基地。 (Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun - A secret base on a tree.)
