AC pnm 7

General Information

• Released: November 2001
• First game in the series to keep track of greats, goods, and bads at the bottom of the screen.
• First game in the series to tell you the BPM of a song during the song.
• First game in the series with Miss animation that fades into the background of the character who misses, instead of occuring automatically each time they miss a note.
• First game in the series 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 the PlayStation version of Pop'n Music 5. This trend has continued with soundtracks to this day.
• In addition, this is the first Pop'n Music to consist of more than one CD on its soundtrack (the Pop'n Music 3 vs. Pop'n Stage CDs don't count as they're seperate games).
• The character designs from this game would later be used in the home-only Pop`n Taisen Puzzle Dama Online.
• Total number of songs: 94

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)
• Fan favorite Kagome, who appears in MISTY, as long as its extended version in Pop'n Music 9
