General Information

Released: Early 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.
Tatsuya Furukawa (good-cool) and Seiya Murai (V.C.O., Kiyommy&Seiya, Natural Bear, etc.) make their Pop'n Music debuts.
Koga Hiroki (Naya-n) starts writing his own music for the series.
Seiya Murai wrote/remixed 8 songs for this game split between the home and arcade versions, more than any other artist did for a single Pop'n Music game in 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.
Mimi and Nyami are squashed down a little more, and look cuter and more "chibi"-like.
