Trivia
General
- The visual thematic for pop'n music Jam&Fizz is sort of a repeat from pop'n music 9's. In comparison, however, Jam&Fizz focuses on common restaurants reminiscent of Western diners, while pop'n 9 leans on the cafe motif.
- The diner theme is what pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢 would have looked like, until it was changed to a steampunk aesthetic.[4] The diner theme carries onto pop'n music Jam&Fizz, four games later to be clear.
- pop'n music Jam&Fizz now has a music list in it's official website, making it the first mainline pop'n music game to have one, since pop'n music 19 TUNE STREET.
- This is also the first to have its new songs' visual banners to be added in the official website, since pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢; and the very first to have them located in the Music List.
