Pororin (ポロリン) Dance Art Mix Watch

It's an unusual Japanese character watch again today.
The watch was released in 1994 by Super Planning Co., Ltd. Super Planning Co is a Japanese company involved with life and fashion accessories and character design, and was founded in 1984.
The watch features an oval headed character called ポロリン or Pororin (or Pan Pororin) from an anime called Pan Pororin which aired from 1973 to 1980, and was also associated with a series of singles as well. I've been through the Japanese wiki page, but this doesn't tell me anything about the story in the Anime.
Below the character name, it calls the watch Dance Art Mix (as a registered trade mark), but not sure what this means.
Under the face is the LCD display. It has a standard 4 digit display with two buttons below. The module is the usual basic model with time, date, and seconds display options.
There is maybe a model number on the bottom of the packaging which says 578001 (Yel), as well as 1200 in a small box.
