ABOUT

Pop'n Music is a long-running rhythm game series by Konami, starting all the way back in 1998. It revolves around hitting big colorful buttons to the beat of a song, and is FULL Of characters you can play as!

There really isn't a "story" aside from Lapistoria's story mode thingy, it's about as arcade game-y as it gets in that regard.

My experience with the series

I don't fully remember how I first came across Pop'n, but I do remember this song popping up in my YouTube recommendations during a DDR music binge.

I didn't play any of the games until 2019 when I bought Pop'n Music Portable 2 (which was around the same time I started my IG account)! Since then, I've collected various merch and CS releases (I own every PS2 game!).

It's a series that's brought me joy, art inspiration, and I've even made a few good friends within the fandom (if any of you see this, hi!! You're the best!!)
