AC pnm 7

General Information

• Released: November 2001
• First pop'n to keep track of greats, goods, and bads at the bottom of the screen in every mode.
• First pop'n to tell you the BPM of a song during the song.
• First pop'n with Miss animation that fades into the background of the character who misses, instead of occurring automatically each time they miss a note.
• First pop'n that shows you your combo count right above the pop-kun you hit, as opposed to the center of the screen.
• Jun Wakita starts writing music for the series.
• Tomosuke Funaki makes his pop'n music debut, as does Shoichiro Hirata.
• The official web site is the first one since pop'n stage which shows a picture of the character in a song AND their background in that song.
• The soundtrack is the first to include songs from console versions made 2 games prior to the current arcade version. In this case, the pop'n music 7 soundtrack contains songs from pop'n music 5 CS. This trend continued with the soundtracks for the next 8 games.
  • It's also the first pop'n music game soundtrack to consist of more than one CD on its soundtrack (the pop'n music 3 vs. pop'n stage 2 CD collection doesn't count as they're separate games).
• The character designs from this game would later be used in the console-only puzzle game pop`n Taisen Puzzle Dama Online.
• Total number of songs: 94

Let's make pop'n music 7 Together!

Prior to the release of Pop'n Music 7, a poll was held on Konami's web site as to what songs should get a remix in pop'n music 7. All songs from pop'n musics 1 through 6 (plus the 4 CS songs at the time) were eligible. VISUAL 2 (Cry Out) got the most votes out of all the songs listed, with a total of 845 votes, with POWERFOLK 2 second with 735 votes. (It never got a remix, though there was a Live version in pop'n music 8). Other strong songs included pop'n music 2's DIGI-ROCK (626), pop'n music 5's SOFT ROCK (601), and pop'n music 6's DIGI-POP (490) and HIP ROCK (465). At the end VISUAL 2, NEW AGE, and NIGHT OUT were remixed (despite NEW AGE being in 69th place with only 44 votes), and SOFT ROCK got an extended version courtesy of pop'n music sound director Jun Wakita.

Name that Character!

Shortly before the release of pop'n music 7, a contest in Japan was held to anyone to name three of the game's new characters. The contest was known as "PapaMama * 7". Shortly before the game was released, the winners were announced, as well as the names of the new characters;

• Teruo (a man with brown hair who wears a blue jacket, who appears in J-ALTERNATIVE, as well as FOLK ROCK in pop'n music 10)
• Peetan (a panda riding on a giant ball, seen in the song CIRCUS)
• Kagome (a poet who wears a long black dress), who appears in MISTY, as long as its extended version in pop'n music 9. Kagome is the only one of these three to ever get a new sprite later.
