General Information

  • Released: September 29th, 1998
  • This game ran on the BEMANI DJ-MAIN HARDWARE arcade system, the same one used for beatmania. The series would continue to run on this hardware through pop'n music 3,as well as spinoff pop'n stage. Also, two of the game's composers, Reo Nagumo and Hiroshi Takeyasu, worked on beatmania.
  • This game also marks the first appearance of beatmania sound data analyzer Hiroki Koga (Naya-n) in a song. He arranged ANIME HERO.
  • First appearances of Tomonori Ikeda, Youhei Shimizu, Sugimoto Kiyotaka (DJ SIMON), and Sanae Shintani in Bemani.
  • Only one difficulty level for songs, and none were given ratings. This would change come the next game, however.
  • Total number of songs: 14

Rejected designs

The pop'n music series has a long history of rejected characters. Some never saw the light of day, and some would later be used many years or mixes later. For the first game, these include

  • A green man with an afro (early BAMBOO, perhaps?)
  • A pink bunny, later used as PRETTY in pop'n music CS
  • A pumpkin-head guy with jeans and a shirt with a dollar sign on it
  • A green-skinned vampire with parted blonde hair, a black jacket, a red shirt, and jeans (early Yuli?)
  • A bear with the flag of Great Britain on it
  • An angry-looking Native American
  • A hippie dog
  • A pair of frogs (possibly early version of Anzu)
  • A green donkey with a guitar
  • A skateboarding snowman with green shorts
  • A walking orange with clothes
  • A weird-looking yellow man with black overalls and pink shoes and a red hat (face looks similar to that of TROPPIE)
  • A space man in a yellow suit (early Cyber?)
  • Male Japanese announcer in a kimono
  • Man with a T.V. for a head
  • A yellow-skinned man with a blue hat covering his eyes, with a white t-shirt and green pants. Also wears a necklace with a picture of a green hand with four fingers
  • An angry-looking chicken wearing glasses, blue shades, a small, tight shirt, green shorts, and multi-colored shoes
  • A man in a circus-type costume with a black bandana covering his eyes (similar to the garb Mimi and Nyami wear in pop'n music 13 カーニバル)
  • A red fire with a black biker shirt, a belt, and brown shoes

Also notable are various color designs for already established characters. For example, JUDY's hair was originally brown.
