Background
BEMANI (ビーマニ) is the brand name of KONAMI's music simulation game series. The brand was originally named the Games & Music Division (G.M.D.) until it was changed in honor of its first successful game, beatmania in 1999. The name BEMANI is a Japanese syllabic abbreviation of BEatMANIa. From there, the line was expanded with other music-based games throughout the years.
A more colorful variation of the logo was created in 2004. This alternate logo is used only for some select series or games only:
- pop'n music 12 いろは to present, including CS releases and pop'n rhythmin.
- Toy'sMarch
- DanceDanceRevolution Winx Club and DanceDanceRevolution MUSIC FIT
- Future TomTom
