Pop'n Music (ポップンミュージック Poppun Myuujikku) is a series of rhythm games created by KONAMI and BEMANI. It appears on the arcades, but have also appeared on PS1, Dreamcase, GB, PS2, and PSP.
Gameplay[]
In Pop'n Music, like in most Bemani games, color-coded notes (in this game called "Pop-kuns" (ポップ君) and anthropomorphized with faces) fall from the top of the screen in nine columns that correspond to the buttons. When a note reaches the red line at the bottom of the screen, the player presses the button, which triggers a sound within the song.
Each song is represented by a character, and players are represented by characters too. The player can choose a character by pressing both yellow buttons on the mode selection screen, but as of Pop'n Music 19, the character selection screen automatically pops up after choosing a mode. The default player characters are anthropomorphic rabbit Mimi and anthropomorphic cat Nyami.
