pop'n music 8

Release Information

• Release date: May 30th, 2002.

General Information / Changes

• First pop'n music game to have a main theme that ties in to the layout of the whole game. In this case, it's springtime.
• First pop'n music game with the BEAT modifier, which makes the keys looks like the ones from the beatmania series.
• First pop'n music arcade game with the SUDDEN modifier, in which the popkuns don't show up until right before you have to hit them.
• First pop'n music game in Challenge Mode in which you pick your ojamas after you choose your song, as opposed to before. This has since been consistent in the franchise.
• First pop'n music game with a HELL course made up entirely of EXs.
• First pop'n music game with extensive usage of BEMANI crossovers. Up until now, only beatmania and pop'n stage songs got ported over to the pop'n music series, for the most part.
  • Almost none of the BEMANI crossovers have their artists credited. (The only exceptions are the pop'n stage songs.)
• NAOKI, jun, BeForU singer Noria, and neo aco band risette all make their pop'n music debuts.
• First arcade pop'n music game since pop'n music 3 to have master recording licenses, as opposed to only covers like the last two games' sets of licenses.
• Last pop'n music game to limit songs exclusively to stage number in NORMAL MODE.
• Last appearance of Kiyotaka Sugimoto until pop'n music 12 いろは.
• Battle Mode upgraded with HYPER charts. Songs from pop'n music 6 and pop'n music 7 have their old charts moved to HYPER difficulty, while newer, simpler ones are used for NORMAL difficulty.
• Total number of songs: 122
