General Information / Changes

• First pop'n music game to run on BEMANI FIREBEAT HARDWARE, which was also used for beatmania III and KEYBOARDMANIA. The colors and graphics are more colorful and detailed than ever as a result of the more powerful hardware.
  • It also allowed for the return of a lot of the removed characters from the earlier arcade pop'n music games.
  • FIREBEAT would be used through pop'n music 8.
  • With 87 playable songs, pop'n music 4 had the largest song list in the series until pop'n music 7 (not counting course-exclusive songs in pop'n music 6).
• Seiya Murai joins the pop'n music team. He would serve as a sound director of every game from here until pop'n music 16 PARTY♪, with the sole exception of pop'n music 6.
  • Hiroki Koga starts writing his own music for the series.
• First pop'n music game to:
  • have speed modifiers (though only 2X).
  • where HYPER charts are playable outside of courses in the arcade, and the first game to individually rate them.
  • display BPM of songs on music select.
  • divide games into categories (1-4, as well as an ALL folder).
  • to have a distinctive interface (1-3 were essentially the same interface with color differences).
• Only mainline pop'n music game prior to pop'n music ラピストリア without individual song, MISS, and FEVER backgrounds. Instead, backdrops are used as the background for songs.
• Only game in the series to have two individual soundtracks released for one installment.
• Only pop'n music arcade game where none of the arcade songs have ever gotten HYPER charts in BATTLE MODE.
• All the menus feature rearrangements of the first pop'n music game's BGM by Seiya Murai.
• Total songs: 86
