Pop'n Music AC

General Information

• Released: September 1998
• The only version of the series, arcade, home, CD, or otherwise, labeled with the italic Konami logo used from 1986 to 1998. The first two versions of beatmania also used it.
• This game ran on the BEMANI DJ-MAIN HARDWARE arcade system, the same one used for beatmania, hence the poor graphic quality as opposed to later games in the series. The series would continue to run on this hardware through Pop'n Music 3. Pop'n Music spinoff Pop'n Stage also used the same hardware.
• Two of the game's composers, Reo Nagumo and Takeyasu Hiroshi, also worked on the original beatmania. Both have continued long careers in the Pop'n series.
• Only one difficulty level was present for songs in the original. The easiest was FANTASY, which was a 3. The hardest song was SPY, which was a 16.
• The only song from this game that would one day get an EX chart is Fantasy (it's a 30). It would get this EX chart in Pop'n Music 11.
• First appearances of Ikeda Tomonori, Youhei Shimizu, Bikke, Sugimoto Kiyotaka (DJ SIMON), and Sanae Shintani in Bemani.
• This game marks the first appearance of Hiroki Koga (Naya-n). He arranged The Theme of Gamber Z (ANIME HERO).
