''''KEYBOARDMANIA''''' (キーボードマニア, often shortened to ''KBM'') is the seventh [[BEMANI]] series to be released in Japan. The game can be played by one or two players. Following the popularity of the [[GITADORA Information|GuitarFreaks & DrumMania]] series, KEYBOARDMANIA, as its name suggests, allows players to use a 2 octave, 24 key Yamaha keyboard and a pitch wheel. Although it only lasted for three arcade releases, the KEYBOARDMANIA series was infamous for its difficulty, with beginners being overwhelmed by its controller. | '''''KEYBOARDMANIA''''' (キーボードマニア, often shortened to ''KBM'') is the seventh [[BEMANI]] series to be released in Japan.
