Unfortunately, 2017 also marked the end of the [[BeatStream Information|BeatStream]] series. Unlike the [[DanceEvolution Information|DanceEvolution]] and ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'' series, no offline patch was released for [[AC BST AnimTribe|BeatStream アニムトライヴ]], and the series went offline permanently on September 1st. Instead, KONAMI offered arcade operators a conversion kit to change their BeatStream machines to ノスタルジア ones. | Unfortunately, 2017 also marked the end of the [[BeatStream Information|BeatStream]] series.

To add more sad news, in spring 2017, KONAMI removed ''all'' of the artist pages from the BEMANI Fan Page website, and also dropped the long-standing [[beatnation Records]] name that had been in use since 2006. In fall 2017, KONAMI also started listing its in-house BEMANI staff as '''BEMANI Sound Team''', and for a few weeks in pop'n music even went so far as to uncredit in-house songs completely. Nearly all BEMANI songs done in-house since fall 2017 feature the BEMANI Sound Team name in front of the artist name. | To add more sad news, in spring 2017, KONAMI removed ''all'' of the artist pages from the BEMANI Fan Page website, and also dropped the long-standing [[beatnation Records]] name that had been in use since 2006.

However, it also left far more lasting effects in the series than just an added moniker in front of in-house artist names, including: | |||
* BEMANI Namahousou (kari) (BEMANI生放送(仮)), the live show that showcased various BEMANI activities, had its host fired and replace with [[Yuki Nakashima]]. No in-house BEMANI staff have since been appeared on the show following the June 28th episode. | |||
* In-house artists are no longer credited in live shows, only called ''BEMANI Sound Team'' in scheduled listings. | |||
* Artist albums published by KONAMI have ceased completely; the only albums since the change have been either [[HinaBitter|HinaBitter♪]] or Tokimeki Idol (ときめきアイドル) related. Game OST production has also slowed down significantly. | |||
* Most in-house BEMANI songs since October 2017 have stopped listing the artist name on the song jacket (though this has occasionally been zigzagged). | |||
* Song comments on new songs in [[AC DDR A|DanceDanceRevolution A]] and [[PnM AC Usagi to neko to shounen no yume|pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢]] stopped after fall 2017. | |||
** In the case of pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢, virtually no new characters were illustrated for the game. | |||
* In-house artists on the [[AC CANNON BALLERS|beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS]] website are exclusively credited to '''BEMANI Designers'''. Unlike the BEMANI Sound Team incident, where the artists were eventually credited, this has not yet been reverted. | |||
** Jacket artists for [[AC SDVX IV|SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN]] were somewhat unaffected by this change until mid-2018, where less and less artists have been credited. | |||
** [[Be a Hero!]] and all of the [[BEMANI SUMMER GREETINGS]] songs don't credit their respective jacket artists. | |||
* The 10th anniversary event of jubeat in [[AC jb clan|jubeat clan]], clan kakumichi original characters & songs (clan各街オリジナルキャラクター＆楽曲), exclusively involved commission artists, and all of the jackets for the event were commissioned as well. | |||
** The commissioned jacket trend has continued into [[AC jb festo|jubeat festo]]. | |||
