The "Official" Pop'n Music Thread

I got my copy of Pop 'N 11 at a store in my local mall: Anime Club, right on the offical release date.

Not only do they sell the usual anime, manga, toys, posters etc. They have import games (including some bemani) and rare games. I bought IIDX 8th and 9th style from there too. I plan to get new releases of IIDX and Pop 'N there from now on.

Besides, some people on Bemanistyle got their game days sooner than I did, before the offical release date. I think they preordered their game from YesAsia.

very fun, lots of good songs, a fun unlock system (that makes me wish i could read japanese, i want to understand all those letters)

I think Classic 11 as in Russia, but i'm also pretty sure Love Love Sugar and Candy <3 are not on this cs release, they were on 8

I do remember getting Classic 11 from east europe/russia, as the 2nd or 3rd to last unlock. The song sounds okay, but I don't think it's as good as Classic 10. And classic 11 now has a japanese name for the song title.

They updated Hamanov's sprite and animation again. And I hope it stays that way.

Who is that girl with Hamanov? His grandaughter?

Alright! I just recieved my copy of Pop 'n 11 in the mail today. Hopefully I'll be able to unlock every song in less than a week and experiece the same satisfaction everyone else here had with it so far (I'm not worried about that one

). By the way, has anyone here orderd from lik-sang before and had history with them in having your stuff arrive later than it should? Beause they're taking WAY too long to send me my copy of Pop 'n 9. Look on previous post for my ordered date.

It's always cool to hear about anime songs being in this game. They even have the Anpanman song... wtf. And Sailor Moon. I don't watch cowboy bebop but I'm sure I've heard the song before.

Anyway... NICE.

I played the game for a little more than an hour and I already unlocked three things: 2 songs and 5 x SPEED. It took me almost triple that from Pop 'n 10! Like TheWertle said previously, unlocking them is easy but your Japanese skills needs to be up to snuff because I believe there are hints for the unlocks in the letters. If you know your katakana and basic hiragana, you should be alright. The way it works, I think, is that you have to play a specific song based on whatever clues are mentioned in the letter. For example, (SPOILER AHEAD-Highlight to read better) one of the letters from asia mentioned something about soccer and making a goal (I guess). I played that one TV song "Kanji-something" Soccer-It has a picture of Nyami in a scoolboy outfit kicking a soccer ball. Anyways when the song was over I got another letter saying that a secret was found-another song. (end spoiler). Like I said, I think this is how unlocks work. If not, feel free to correct me.

P.S. If that's not the way to make text invisible (for the spoiler) feel free to correct me on that, too

yea presumably you dont have to pick a specific song to get the unlocks, it just might make things go faster. like i dont really understand anything that the letters are saying but generally after a round or 2 of challenge mode i've unlocked something.

In other news, I just paid for a Desktop Arcade Pop'n ASC so I will finally have my own.

I really don't think anyone cares about a spoiler for a music game. If anything its just annoying

I've been wanting to try pop'n music for awhile now.. and the only arcade close to me that has it is... well it's about 15 miles but I'm too lazy to go.

Anyways, I recently started getting some import stuff for my ps2 (just bought IIDX 9th style with IIDX controller today... and now I must pick up other styles) And I was trying to find the best way to go about getting pop'n music.
At my mall they have the box set that comes with a controller and pnm 10. I looked at the controller and it was a bit small and I was scared it would be horrible.. so before spending about $100 on that.. .does anyone know how that controller is? Is it worth buying?
