Space Venus starring Morning Musume.
2001
Space Venus bills itself not as a game, but as "Music Visual Software". It takes the Japanese pop group Morning Musume and puts them in the role of the crew of a space station, charged with generating Life Oriented Virtual Energy (LOVE). The player chooses an area of the space station, where they'll find different kinds of video experiences. Some areas simply play standard video clips, either taking place in the fictional space setting or showing behind-the-scenes footage from the making of this game. Some are special 360° panoramic videos where panning and zooming can be controlled with the gamepad. Some sections are more heavily interactive. One section, called simply "Mini-game", allows you to shoot at spaceships flying around the space station.

Rhyme Rider Kerorican is a music video game in the style of Vib-Ribbon, an earlier game developed by the same studio. The game's plot is quite simple involving the adventures of Kerorican, a female astronaut wearing kemonomimi-style frog-helmet, as she walks along accompanied by jazzy techno music. As Kerorican continues her walk, she encounters more and more enemies and obstacles. Kerorican must jump, duck, kick aside, or otherwise dodge these obstacles to progress and as she does so, the actions she takes add notes to the song such that the player's actions results in a generative melody. By successfully clearing strings of obstacles, Kerorican's combo count increases and this can result in a reward to the player of a crown that acts to skip the player over obstacles. This game is played with the WonderSwan Color held diagonally, the only game on the system to do so. This is why all text in the game is oblique. The game has been criticized for difficulty of gameplay as timing and tricky button combinations oftenCyberGroove
