* In late 2016/early 2017, KONAMI started shuffling around its executives in the company, as can be seen on their press releases on their official website [https://www.konami.com/news/en/2016/ here] and [https://www.konami.com/news/en/2017/ here]. It has been widely suggested that the new staff have wanted to focus more on the mobile division and less on arcades, and in order to have their in-house musicians stand out more, they created the label of '''BEMANI Sound Team''' to distinguish them from commission artists like [[Ryutaro Nakahara|Ryu☆]] or [[Kosuke Saito|kors k]]. | * In late 2016/early 2017, KONAMI started shuffling around its executives in the company, as can be seen on their press releases on their official website [https://www.konami.com/news/en/2016/ here] and [https://www.konami.com/news/en/2017/ here].

* | * KONAMI merged with a pachinko company which is rumored to have very strict policies on public appearances of its personnel and staff. In an attempt to dumb down appearances, the '''BEMANI Sound Team''' moniker was added, to the point where their names aren't even listed in the rare live events the in-house BEMANI staff participate in now. | ||
