General Information

Released: Fall 1998
This game ran on the beatmania game engine, hence the poor graphic quality as opposed to later games in the series. The series would continue to run on the beatmania game engine until the fourth installment (Pop'n Stage also ran on the beatmania game engine).
Two of the game's composers, Reo Nagumo and Takeyasu Hiroshi, also worked on the original beatmania. Both would stay around to write music almost every game in the 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 a EX chart is Fantasy (it's a 30).
First appearances of Ikeda Tomonori, Bikke, Kiyotaka Sugimoto (DJ SIMON), Koga Hiroki (Naya-n), and Shintani Sana in Bemani.
