im really happy i could finish this today. Pop'n Music is one of my favorite rhythm games, and im happy to be the first person to do a TAS on the first game. (well, the PSX one.)
i originally started this TAS in April, but due to some difficulties (recording mode was on and i lost half of the gameplay, leading to making a new movie) it couldnt be finished until now.
the goal of this TAS is to finish a whole game cycle, with no misses, perfectly, with 9 keys on hard, as fast as i can. someone is probably going to ask "how come most of it is all GREATs and you dont get a lot of FEVERs?", but the reason why is that Pop'n Music will only give FEVERs when you fill the main meter on the bottom all the way up. its all GREATs before there. very funny, but understandable.
GAME DESCRIPTION: pop'n music is a rhythm game released in 1998 (console) by KONAMI/BEMANI. the main gameplay consists of the player pressing buttons to the notes, with each note having a sound that goes with the song. it is very similar to KONAMI's other rhythm game, Beatmania.

The shortest available song is [POPS] I REALLY WANT TO HURT YOU which clocks in at a 1:22.
The shortest unlock song is [RAVE] e-motion a beatmania / DDR song clocking it at a 1:14.
The author elects for these songs:
