The unlock system for Pop'n Music 8 is a game called "SUGOROKU DE 8".  (Sugoroku is a children's dice game.) To play the game, though, you must beat a specific challenge as you play through Arcade mode (for example, getting 0 misses or playing with a certain mod on. The requirement changes every time). Players guide a robot around the islands of Japan by rolling a dice; the robot then moves that many spaces.  There are cities every three spaces, and when a player reaches a city, they might unlock a new song, course, or character.  Players get different "prizes" each time the reach a different city.  For example, the first time you reach Tokyo, you unlock CANDY♥.  When you get to Tokyo the first time after you've made it all around Japan once, you unlock May Fa as a playable character.

pop'n music 8's unlock system is called Sugoroku de 8 (すごろくde8) (sugoroku is a children's dice game.) It will appear after your last song in ARCADE. However, to access it, you must beat a certain condition in that round, which changes from round to round (for example, using speed mods, fulfilling certain point requirements, etc.). Successfully doing so unlocks the game after that round of ARCADE.

Playing the game is simple; you simply roll a die, and pop'n music character P-1 will then move to the amount of spaces it lands in. For every three spaces you land on, you reach a city in Japan, which can unlock songs, courses, and hidden playable characters. The event ends once you unlock TECHNO POP.
