* The videos for [[Last Message]] and [[Sense 2007]] were removed and both songs were replaced with the 6th RAVE generic video.

BEMANI is notoriously notable for its censorship when the arcade games are ported to console or overseas, specifically outside of Japan.

This list is here to point out various BEMANI-related things, such as songs or jackets, that were changed over-time to circumvent it or to keep the demographic for general audiences.

The list is under construction.

beatmania IIDX

beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD CS

  • The unique videos for Last Message and Sense 2007 were removed and both videos were replaced with the 6th RAVE generic videos. Last Message was edited likely due to its shot of Meg's cleavage, while Sense 2007's video featured multiple skimpy-dressed women in its video. Both videos got axed to keep IIDX 14 GOLD CS's A-rating with Japan's Computer Entertainment Rating Organization Video Game Rating System (CERO) rating scheme.
    • Curiously, Last Message had earlier appeared with its video in 7th style CS, despite the game also getting an All Ages (全年齢対象) CERO rating.

beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS

  • satfinal's unique overlays, which featured Acty Aries, had the jiggling of her breasts removed to keep the game's CERO A rating.

beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST

  • The ARCHIVE MODE, which features result screen artwork from past beatmania IIDX games, excludes the bikini images from 5th style CS through 9th style CS to keep the game's CERO A rating.

South Korean versions

  • South Korean versions of the beatmania IIDX series from tricoro beyond remove the unique videos for Click Again and New Decade IIDX Edition, replacing them with the generic videos for tricoro's CYBER and 8th TECHNO respectively.

  • Similarly, FAKE TIME's overlays are also removed, due to the IIDX characters dressed up as yakuza members.

BeatStream

  • 回レ!雪月花's video was edited in the BeatStream series, with Takahashi-san (タカハシサン) added in the video to cover the shot of a naked bust scene halfway through the song.
    • In the DanceDanceRevolution series, it was circumvented by blocking that shot with another background shot.

DanceDanceRevolution

DanceDanceRevolution CS (America)

  • OH NICK PLEASE NOT SO QUICK's CD and background were censored, adding pants to the man who previously only wore underwear. This also carried over to its its sequel.
  • CHARMY was edited to include stockings. The stockings would stay on her in all future appearances of her from 4thMIX beyond, though.

DanceDanceRevolution KONAMIX

  • CUTIE CHASER's background was modified by changing the blood color to pink, and removing the bullet holes and pistol in the cop dog's hand in the background to preserve an E rating with the United States' ESRB rating system.
  • The vocal samples for THE EARTH LIGHT were removed.
  • AFTER THE GAME, an instrumental version of AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE, is used, due to the suggestive content of the original song's lyrics.

DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution-

Its modified background was also used when the song made its arcade debut in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME, and the song's Japanese PS2 debut in DDRMAX2 CS JP.
  • gentle stress (AMD SEXUAL MIX) was renamed to gentle stress(SENSUAL MIX) as the word "SEXUAL" is inappropriate for a family game. This renaming was brought forward in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA.
    • Curiously, the song was renamed back to gentle stress ~AMD SEXUAL MIX~ in the DanceDanceRevolution X2 internal data.

DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-

DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX / Dancing Stage Unleashed

  • The background for TRIP MACHINE~luv mix~ was edited by changing the word "mammy" to "mommy", due to negative connotations with the Mammy stereotype, an American historical stereotype depicting black women working in white families.
    • Despite this censor, its original background was retained in future DanceDanceRevolution series, including its jacket, since DanceDanceRevolution X2.
  • Like in KONAMIX, the vocal samples in THE EARTH LIGHT have been removed.

DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX3

  • Alphabet Aerobics's lyrics censor the first two words in the song's N verse, due to using an offensive slang term for African Americans.

    • X CS (America) also edits an additional scene with Kamina, from a shot with blood to a shot of him in shades.

DanceDanceRevolution Disney Channel EDITION

DanceDanceRevolution X CS (Japan)

    • All three songs use their uncensored jackets from the PlayStation 3 release in the arcade series beginning with X3 VS 2ndMIX.

DanceDanceRevolution Classroom Edition

  • So What and Walk Like An Egyptian's lyrics were modified by using a different cut from the original release, as well as censoring the word "drink" in both songs.

  • The woman in ATRAX's jacket was removed in the South Korean version, due to her posture resembling bondage (BDSM).
