2018

KONAMI celebrated the 20th anniversaries of DanceDanceRevolution and pop'n music in September with little events and new songs, even making anniversary pages for both games. On September 28th, KONAMI also started location testing a new BEMANI game, Rizminance.

In addition, KONAMI announced a new spin-off project of HinaBitter♪, titled BandMeshi♪ (バンめし♪).

Unfortunately, 2018 saw KONAMI continuing their practices at the end of 2017 well into 2018 as well, which again can be viewed on the BEMANI Sound Team page.

To add even more sad news, Korean versions of DDR, SOUND VOLTEX and GITADORA gets heavily censored. Due to interference from South Korea's video games board, Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC), all songs added after November 16th, 2017 were temporarily removed from the game and future songs are delayed in the case of SOUND VOLTEX, the EXTRA SAVIOR song ALGORITHM is delayed in case of DDR and cannot be accessed all BEMANI SUMMER GREETINGS songs in case of GITADORA.
