The BEMANI Portal | Throughout the years, a few websites acted as main websites for the brand. In 2007 to 2010, two websites served as the main BEMANI sources of information: BEMANI Portal which covered the games releases and BEAT REVOLUTION / BEMANI MUSIC FOUNDATION, which covered the music content. Since 2012, BEMANI Fan Site became the only website for the BEMANI brand. | ||
;BEAT REVOLUTION | |||
Launched in 2006, BEAT REVOLUTION was the first collaboration between i-revo (Internet Revolution) and BEMANI. The website goal was to cover the musical aspect of the series. It had a separate section for BEMANI artists, the various BEMANI related albums and special interviews with the artists. The website was shut down in August of 2007 as BEMANI MUSIC FOUNDATION took it place. | |||
;BEMANI Portal | |||
The BEMANI Portal launched on April 25th, 2007 as the central hub for all the BEMANI series. The first version of the website included only news from all the active BEMANI series and links to all of those along with the KONAMIstyle store and the コナミネット(KONAMI NET) service. | |||
In 2011, the website was revamped and new sections were added: ARCADE GAME, GAME SOFT, MOBILE and MUSIC. It would eventually be closed on January 3, 2012, redirecting instead to BEMANI Fan Site. | |||
;BEMANI MUSIC FOUNDATION | |||
BEMANI MUSIC FOUNDATION debuted in September of 2007 as a replacement for BEAT REVOLUTION. The website was very similair to its predecessor, acting as a repertoire for BEMANI songs and artists. It also had a radio program titled BEMANI RADIO. The website closed on June 30, 2010 and the address redirected to BEMANI Portal. | |||
;BEMANI Fan Site | |||
Opened on June 30th, 2011, BEMANI Fan Site is the replacement to BEMANI MUSIC FOUNDATION and since January 3rd, 2012, to BEMANI Portal. BEMANI Fan Site re-introduced an artist section along with special report about various events. It also resumed the radio program which was retitled BEMANI Backstage. The radio program was eventually replaced by a weekly live broadcast, BEMANI生放送(仮) in 2013. The website was revamped on December 12th, 2014 and added a monthly music selection, a list of BEMANI events and an introduction page to all the current BEMANI series. On the front page, a selection of daily music is also featured with songs from REFLEC BEAT, jubeat and beatmania IIDX (which started at a later date). The birthdays of pop'n music characters for the month are also included. | |||
