AC pnm 4

General Information

• Released: March 2000
• First game in the series to run on BEMANI FIREBEAT HARDWARE, which was also used for beatmania III, Keyboard Mania, and ee-mall. The colors and graphics were noticeably more colorful and more detailed than ever as a result of the more powerful hardware. Firebeat would be used through Pop'n Music 8.
• First game in the series to have a distinctive interface (1-3 were essentially the same interface with color differences).
• All the menus feature new music re-arranged by Seiya Murai.
• Only pop'n game without individual song, miss, and fever backgrounds. Instead, several backdrops are seen in the background for songs.
• First AC Pop'n game in which new AC songs have Hyper notecharts.
• Tatsuya Furukawa (good-cool) and Seiya Murai (V.C.O., Kiyommy&Seiya, Natural Bear, etc.) make their Pop'n Music debuts.
• Hiroki Koga (Naya-n) starts writing his own music for the series.
• The soundtrack for this game is the first and only one that released the arcade songs and console-exclusive songs on seperate CDs.
• First game to tell you the BPM of a song on the music select screen.
• Total number of songs: 86
