Pop'n music 8 (Arcade)

pop'n music 8 (Arcade) pop'n music 8 is the eighth main installment of the titular rhythm game series, and features a spring/picnic theme.

Notably, it brought over songs from many other BEMANI games, though mostly from the short-lived Mambo a Go Go. It's also known for introducing Shaka, whose EX chart was then considered to be one of the hardest in the franchise.

Unused Graphics#

Graphics for two unplayable characters can be found in the game's data: the MZD variant from Oedo hanafubuki TEYAN-day MIX, and the Nyami variant from PROJECT A PROCEEDS (both songs being absent from this release). These include a splash screen portrait, animation sheets, and in the former's case, icons.

Revisional Difference#

Two revisions of the game are known to exist, labeled as ver.JAA and ver.JAB. However, the only difference was the correction of a typo in the result screens, in which the "2nd" displayed if a player ranked in second place on the highscore table was originally shown as "2st".
