= General Information =

'''eAMUSEMENT''' (written as '''e-AMUSEMENT''' before February 20th, 2013) is an online service offered by KONAMI since April 17th, 2003 to enable certain games to access special locked content, as well as providing live Internet ranking. It is used by all current BEMANI games alongside other KONAMI arcade games.

Initially, players had to use one ''Entry Card'' (エントリーカード) for each game and register it to a KONAMI ID. Its replacement, the ''e-AMUSEMENT PASS'' was introduced in November of 2005. Unlike the Entry Cards, one e-AMUSEMENT PASS can be used for more than one game. On November 17th, 2010, support for mobile and BitCash was added.

# Enter your IIDX DJ name (up to 6 characters). Then select your region.
