'''''pop'n music''''' (ポップンミュージック), commonly shortened to '''''pop'n''''' or '''''PoMu'''''), is a music video game in KONAMI's BEMANI series. The game is notable for its bright colors, upbeat songs, and cute character graphics. Although pop'n music appears to be targeted for younger children, its difficulty at higher levels has attracted many players of [[beatmania Information|beatmania]] and other BEMANI games. Originally released in 1998, the game has had several home releases in Japan as well as many arcade versions.

pop'n stage is a dancing game based around the pop'n music design and songs, with ten "switches" (four diagonals and a center on each side, just like Pump It Up's panel placement). It is a combination of pop'n music and DanceDanceRevolution, using pop'n-style graphics with DDR-style gameplay. The game has a bright, colorful interface and machine design, and is easy compared to most other BEMANI games.
 
pop'n stage only supports one player at a time; six-switch and ten-switch modes are available (corresponding to Pump It Up's half double and full double; in other words, 6-switch mode doesn't use the four outer corners).[http://www.konami.co.jp/am/stage/play/index.html]


Unlike pop'n music, pop'n stage has never had a CS release, but almost every song from pop'n stage is present in pop'n music 6 CS.
''pop'n stage'' is a spin-off of the pop'n music series that mixes the pop'n music design and songs with DanceDanceRevolution-like gameplay. For more information, please see [[What is pop'n stage|this page]].
