DanceDanceRevolution also saw a big first in BEMANI; the first mobile BEMANI game. Years before [[jubeat plus]] or [[REFLEC BEAT plus]], there was [[CS DDR i-appli|DanceDanceRevolution (i-αppli)]], which allowed one to play MIDI versions of DanceDanceRevolution songs on your mobile phone.

GUITARFREAKS & drummania found itself struggling with the KONAMI BEMANI SYSTEM 573 DIGITAL, too. The series was losing as many songs as it was introducing, many of which ''never'' returned to the series again, including KONAMI originals. Space limitations got so bad that by the time [[AC_GF6DM5|GUITARFREAKS 6thMIX & drummania 5thMIX]] came out, KONAMI had to remove near all the older songs' BASS charts just to have enough room for all of the songs. Both releases did get a boost with a certain add-on this year, which will be explained below. On the CS front, only one new home release for PlayStation 2 - [[CS_GF4DM3|ギタドラ! GUITARFREAKS 4thMIX & drummania 3rdMIX]] - came out this year, selling so poorly that KONAMI didn't bother to port any further games on PlayStation 2 for over four years.

beatmania IIDX got by far the best upgrades of any series this user. Not only did it receive two [[AC 5th style|arcade]] [[AC 6th style|games]], but the interface was streamlined, added several new helpful options (more speed mods, song grades introduced, DVD video hardware replacing VCD), and the songlist and music variety only got better. Two new [[CS 4th style|home]] [[CS 5th style|versions]] came out relatively quickly as well, both having the subtitle "new songs collection", due to having new CS songs.
