General Information

Released: Fall 1998
This game ran on the BEMANI DJ-MAIN HARDWARE arcade system, the same one used for beatmania, hence the poor graphic quality as opposed to later games in the series. The series would continue to run on this hardware through Pop'n 3. Pop'n Music spinoff Pop'n Stage also used the same hardware.
Two of the game's composers, Reo Nagumo and Takeyasu Hiroshi, also worked on the original beatmania. Both have continued long careers in the Pop'n series.
Only one difficulty level was present for songs in the original Pop'n Music. The easiest was FANTASY, which was a 3. The hardest song was SPY, which was a 16.
The only song from this game that would one day get an EX chart is Fantasy (it's a 30).
First appearances of Ikeda Tomonori, Youhei Shimizu, Bikke, Sugimoto Kiyotaka (DJ SIMON), Hiroki Koga (Naya-n), and Sanae Shintani in Bemani.
