AC pnm 4

General Information

• Released: March 2000
• First game in the series to run on BEMANI FIREBEAT HARDWARE, which was also used for beatmania III, KEYBOARDMANIA, and ee'MALL. The colors and graphics were noticeably more colorful and more detailed than ever as a result of the more powerful hardware. Firebeat would be used through pop'n music 8.
• First AC pop'n game in which new AC songs have Hyper notecharts.
• First pop'n game to tell you the BPM of a song.
• First game in the series to have a distinctive interface (1-3 were essentially the same interface with color differences). In addition, all the menus feature new music re-arranged by Seiya Murai.
• Only pop'n game without individual song, miss, and fever backgrounds. Instead, several backdrops are seen in the background for songs.
• Tatsuya Furukawa (good-cool) and Seiya Murai (V.C.O., Kiyommy&Seiya, Natural Bear, etc.) make their Pop'n Music debuts.
• Hiroki Koga (Naya-n) starts writing his own music for the series.
• Only game in the series to have two individual CDs for one installment. The first CD, pop'n music 4 arcade originals, contains all the AC songs, plus jingles and three new long versions. The follow-up CD, pop'n music 4 consumer originals, contains all the pop'n music 4 AC songs (except GROOVE ROCK), but axes the jingles and long versions for the 4 CS songs and new long versions of those songs.
• One of the only two arcade pop'n titles where NONE of the AC songs have [H] charts in Battle Mode, the other being pop'n music 5.
• Total songs: 86
