heya!! im really interested in learning more about pop'n music but idk where to start, would u be able to point me in the right direction? :0c

*rubs hands together* strap in, anon (i put this under a readmore- it’s a list of stuff i used when i was getting into popn)

that being said if anyone else in pop’n side of tumblr wants to contribute to resources, feel free to add on!

pop’n tunes - a playlist i made with a ton of different popn songs of various genres- you can hit shuffle and let it run through, or pick one with a genre you like and start there. (also if you want you can message me off anon and i can send song recs)

Pop’n Music Wiki - a fan wiki i go to with a ton of information on different characters, songs, games, etc. if you want to find new characters, i usually poke my head in the birthdays page. fun activity: look up your birthday and see how many characters you share a birthday with!

RemyWiki - has song, game and composer info across most bemani titles (bemani being konami’s rhythm game department)

also if you’re interested in playing the games for yourself, amazon.jp and ebay have console games and other fun merch for sale! (other japanese shopping sites may have more stuff, but i’ve only been on amazon and ebay) or if you live near an arcade that has japanese rhythm games (ie round one) they’re bound to have at least one cabinet B)

but yeah i can’t say there’s a “correct” way of getting into the games (i personally listened to the ost a lot before playing, and now i basically research the games and characters in my spare time). the best way to enjoy the series i think is find a couple songs/characters you like, play the games (legally if you don’t want to run into trouble), also if you do get more into the games, the fandom on tumblr is decently sized and everyone is super nice, so you can check out what they’re all doing if you like!

Vintage merch from the pop'n music Bunkasai event in 2007. Ten years ago!

The first item is the internet ranking prize of pop’n BEST HITS, a turntable and a Homesick vinyl, super rare and expensive to find right now.

I bought this CD a while ago, and i forgot to post it!

This is wac’s magnum opus, 音楽. The name is Ongaku, and it literally means “music”. It has some of wac’s best hits from pop’n music including little rock overture, little prayer, megane rock, and the glorious 12 minute long version of neu.

I don’t regret buying this CD at all.

which pop'n music character is ur fav and why?? im curious :3c

Oooh!! That’s a good question. I like a lot of characters… They’re all so cute..Well, at first I thought it would be Prince of Falenas because I love Suikoden and having a character from Suikoden was the best thing Pop’n Music could ever do. 

When I actually exposed myself to other characters though, I saw Mutsuki’s Pop’n Music 8 design and went “HE’S SO CUTE!!!” He’s a cat (well partly cat), and he does art and I love cats and art! Plus, out of all the Pop’n characters Mutsuki in his design from 8 the one I dress the most like. (I don’t have hats though) I’m so sad Mutsuki’s Pop’n 8 design and theme song haven’t hit arcades though. I wanted to use it so bad when I was playing 20 at the arcade. His 14 design isn’t bad though. I also REALLY WANT AN ANIME PORTRAIT OF MUTSUKI IF HIS GF CAN HAVE ONE WHY CAN’T HE?

I also really like Tsuyoshi. Especially his design from 18, it’s so elegant. Having a cool personality and a pretty personality is so awesome to me and honestly I can relate. Sometimes I just wanna go visual kei and sometimes I just wanna wear cute skirts and move daintily. Tsuyoshi knows how I feel I think xp.

and finally I’m a hardcore Deuil supporter. I don’t know why but I’ve come to the conclusion I kind of have a thing for vampires so I was drawn to Yuli and his ghost and dog bandmates are all pretty cool. I live for seeing the three together doing stuff. Yuli is my favorite though cause he’s elegant and cool and we both don’t like showing skin! I also dress a little like his Pop’n 8 design. Long-sleeved tees for life! (well not really, I only wear them cause my wardrobe is small) Also Lapistoria Yuli’s animations are relatable. That lose animation is me sometimes. I like how Ash is a cook though, that’s so cute. Smile is cute too in his own way, I mean I like seeing just his smile floating around. 

and I don’t want to forget the females of Pop’n so I really like Sumire and her cute little bunnies that do Team Rocket-levels of evil deeds. I really like Sumire’s animations in Portable 2. Her fever animation in that game is the most epic fever animation ever. Plus Mutsuki x Sumire is so cute! Roki is also really cool too. I wanted to find videos of her in Lapistoria’s story mode so bad but I couldn’t. Her monsters remind me of Earthbound too, especially that lip monster thing.

but I think right now it’s like a tie between Yuli and Mutsuki.

Special mention goes to Paku for bein an adorable little bubble armadillo and for saying things that make my heart melt. I like drawing Paku on my schoolwork too.
