Censorship in BEMANI: Difference between revisions

* The videos for [[Last Message]] and [[Sense 2007]] were removed and both songs were replaced with the 6th RAVE generic video. 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 videos. Both videos got axed to keep IIDX GOLD's A-rating with Japan's Computer Entertainment Rating Organization Video Game Rating System (CERO) rating scheme.

* [[satfinal]]'s overlays, which featured [[Acty Aries]], had the jiggling of the breasts removed to keep the game's A rating.

* The ARCHIVE MODE, which features artworks from past beatmania IIDX games, excludes the bikini images from [[CS 5th style|5th style CS]] through [[CS 9th style|9th style CS]] to keep the game's A rating.

* Korean versions of [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]] beyond removed the videos for [[Click Again]] and [[New Decade IIDX Edition]], replacing then with the generic videos for tricoro CYBER and 7th TECHNO respectively. This is due to both videos featuring images of the [[Wikipedia:Rising Sun Flag|Rising Sun Flag]], which is de-facto banned in South Korea.  

* [[AFTER THE GAME]], an instrumental version of [[AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE]], is used on this game, due to suggestive content of the original song's lyrics.

** Despite this censor, its original background was retained in future DanceDanceRevolution series, including its jacket since [[AC DDR X2|DanceDanceRevolution X2]].

* [[Trust -DanceDanceRevolution mix-]]'s was heavily edited in these console releases:

** In SuperNOVA2 CS (Japan), all the shots featuring Yoko's breasts were replaced by zoom-ins to her face. This was also done in [[CS DDR X NA|X CS (America)]].

* The jackets for three songs, [[dreaming can make a wish come true]], [[New York EVOLVED]], and [[Until the End]] were all edited: the first due to nudity, the second replaces a skeleton with a picture of a woman's eyes, and the final edited to remove human skulls' eyes and noses from its jacket.

In an update on December 28th, 2017, many of the songs debuted after HEAVENLY HAVEN were censored and replaced with a generic jacket credited to '''-''',  in accordance with Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC). Between July 24th and August 9th, 2018, songs added after the November 16th, 2017 update were temporarily unplayable, also due to GRAC. Sngs added after July 24th 2018 update were added on August 23th, 2018. This song spread to other BEMANI games as well censoring jackets for content.
