-marks the end of the [[BeatStream Information|BeatStream]] series. However, unlike the [[DanceEvolution Information|DanceEvolution]] and ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'' series, no offline patch was released for [[AC BST AnimTribe|BeatStream アニムトライヴ]], making the cabinets unable to boot once [[eAMUSEMENT]] support for the game ended on September 1st. Instead, KONAMI offered arcade operators a conversion kit of the BeatStream machines to a new BEMANI series.
+KONAMI officially launches a BEMANI series in with [[NOSTALGIA Information|ノスタルジア]] (NOSTALGIA), which had made its debut the year prior in JAEPO 2016. ノスタルジア is a spiritual successor of the [[KEYBOARDMANIA Information|KEYBOARDMANIA]] series, as it focuses on piano-based gameplay, although it has several differences to its predecessor both in gameplay and in cabinet design.

Unlike the [[DanceEvolution Information|DanceEvolution]] and ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'' series, no offline patch was released for [[AC BST AnimTribe|BeatStream アニムトライヴ]], and the series went offline permanently on September 1st. Instead, KONAMI offered arcade operators a conversion kit to change their BeatStream machines to ノスタルジア ones.
-On a less pleasant note, in spring 2017, KONAMI removed ''all'' of the artist pages from the BEMANI Fan Page website, and also dropped the long-standing [[beatnation Records]] name that had been in use since 2006. In fall 2017, KONAMI also started listing its in-house BEMANI staff as '''BEMANI Sound Team''', and for a few weeks in pop'n music even went so far as to left in-house songs added to the game uncredited to them completely. Nearly all BEMANI songs done in-house since fall 2017 feature the BEMANI Sound Team name in front of the artist name. Individual artists are also now unlisted in live events, just called the collective name of '''BEMANI Sound Team'''.
