pop'n music 7
Release Information
- Release date: November 22nd, 2001.
General Information / Changes
- First pop'n music game to keep track of Greats, Goods, and Bads at the bottom of the screen in every mode.
- First pop'n music game to tell you the BPM of a song during the song.
- Also the last pop'n music game to date to list the BPM of a song at the music select screen.
- Character animations (MISS/FEVER/etc.) no longer begin until a character's neutral animation has finished, both for player and rival characters. This has since been consistent in the franchise. In previous games, hitting notes on a certain grade (GREAT, GOOD, or BAD) would change the animations in real time.
- According to staff member shio on the pop'n music 8 Q&A page, this was done due to the increased note density of more recent pop'n music games hurting the eyes of players due to the constant switching of animations.
- She also notes it was done for a secondary reason; to show more animations for high-level players, as opposed to them only seeing FEVER animations for an entire song on the left, and nothing but the MISS banner/animations for their rival on the right.
- First pop'n music game that shows you your combo count right above the pop-kun you hit, as opposed to the center of the screen.
- wac starts writing original music for the series.
- 舟木智介 makes his pop'n music debut, as does Shoichiro Hirata.
- All licenses from pop'n music 6 received distinct MISS backgrounds, instead of the traditional MISS backgrounds they used in the previous game.
- The official web site is the first one since pop'n stage which shows a picture of the character in a song AND their background in that song.
- The soundtrack is the first to include songs from console versions made 2 games prior to the current arcade version. In this case, the pop'n music 7 soundtrack contains songs from pop'n music 5 CS. This trend continued with the soundtracks for the next 8 games.
- It's also the first pop'n music game soundtrack to consist of more than one CD on its soundtrack (the pop'n music 3 vs. pop'n stage 2 CD collection doesn't count as they're separate games).
- The character designs from this game would later be used in the console-only puzzle game pop'n Taisen Puzzle Dama Online.
- Total number of songs: 94

Let's make pop'n music 7 Together!
Prior to the release of pop'n music 7, a poll was held on Konami's web site as to what songs should get a remix in pop'n music 7. All songs from the very first pop'n music through 6 (plus the 4 CS games at the time) were eligible. Cry Out got the most votes out of all the songs listed, with a total of 845 votes, with 君を壊したい! second with 735 votes. (It never got a remix, though there was a Live version in pop'n music 8). Other strong songs included ROSE~恋人よ、薔薇色に染まれ (626), Homesick Pt.2&3 (601), 走りぬける君へ、Hurry up! (490), and 大見解 (465). At the end Cry Out, 龍舞~DRAGON DANCE, and 透明なマニキュア were remixed (despite 龍舞~DRAGON DANCE being in 69th place with only 44 votes), and Homesick Pt.2&3 got an extended version courtesy of pop'n music sound director wac. (大見解 did eventually get a remix years later in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪, 大見解の新見解.)
Name that Character!
Shortly before the release of pop'n music 7, a contest in Japan was held to anyone to name three of the game's new characters. The contest was known as "PapaMama * 7". Shortly before the game was released, the winners were announced, as well as the names of the new characters;
- Teruo (a man with brown hair who wears a blue jacket, who appears in 簡単な事だけど大切なもの, as well as dandelion in pop'n music 10). He later received a new sprite in pop'n music Sunny Park with the song KARISOME.
- Peetan (a panda riding on a giant ball, seen in the song フリーパス).
- Kagome (a poet who wears a long black dress), who appears in platonic love, as well as its extended version in pop'n music 9. Kagome is the first one of these three to ever get a new sprite, which she got in Sorrows in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪.
