beatmania wasn't the only game with a spin-off, though. DanceDanceRevolution had the [[AC DDR Solo BASS|Solo BASS MIX]] and [[AC DDR Solo 2000|Solo 2000]] games, which transformed the usual four-panel style of DDR on its head. Now you had two extra arrows on the top left and right to work with, resulting in a far more difficult game overall.

One of the new songs, [[WE TWO ARE ONE]], introduced [[Seiya Murai]] to BEMANI. Murai would be for years after one of the biggest names in pop'n music, and also a key staff member of KEYBOARDMANIA starting the following year. | ||
The Sony PlayStation became the new home for most of these new BEMANI arcade releases. DanceDanceRevolution games became huge hits on the system, and the beatmania games continued to sell quite well.
