In early 2007, [[Tatsuya Shimizu]] left BEMANI (and subsequently, [[beatnation Records]] as well) due to health issues. His previous role as sound director of the beatmania IIDX arcade titles would be taken up by [[Toshiyuki Kakuta]].

These six artists have been heavily influential in the development of beatmania IIDX and would continue to play a big role in the future of BEMANI as a whole.


Summary to be updated.
Arcade releases continued along, but console releases began to change. [[PnM CS 14|pop'n music 14 FEVER! CS]] and [[CS GFDM V3|GuitarFreaks V3 & DrumMania V3 CS]] would be the last traditional entries in their respective series. DanceDanceRevolution begins to make the jump to seventh-generation consoles with titles like [[CS DDR UNIVERSE|UNIVERSE]] and [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY|HOTTEST PARTY]] while titles based on arcade releases continued to stick to the PlayStation 2.
 
2007 also marks the 10th anniversary of BEMANI. In celebration of this milestone, three live events were held throughout the year: ''pop'n music Culture Festival (ポップンミュージック文化祭)'' in February, ''beatnation summit'' in August, and ''THE GITADO LIVE'' in December. As one can infer from the names, each event focused on a specific series (namely, pop'n music, beatmania IIDX, and GuitarFreaks/DrumMania respectively) and featured live performances from artists and vocalists involved in those series.
 
2007 was a celebration of the old, but [[2008]] would become a celebration of the new, as it would mark the beginning of [[jubeat Information|a new series]].

2007

In early 2007, Tatsuya Shimizu left BEMANI (and subsequently, beatnation Records as well) due to health issues. His previous role as sound director of the beatmania IIDX arcade titles would be taken up by Toshiyuki Kakuta. With Kakuta's introduction to the arcade titles, beatmania IIDX would begin its first steps towards the more hardcore-oriented sound direction seen in modern titles. Meanwhile, the role of head sound director was transferred to Yoshitaka Nishimura. Alongside the release of beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD, beatnation Records took in three more members: the synthesizer wizard Sota Fujimori and the 4th style duo Kosuke Saito and Ryutaro Nakahara. A few months later, the label released its first artist album, milestone. These six artists have been heavily influential in the development of beatmania IIDX and would continue to play a big role in the future of BEMANI as a whole.

Arcade releases continued along, but console releases began to change. pop'n music 14 FEVER! CS and GuitarFreaks V3 & DrumMania V3 CS would be the last traditional entries in their respective series. DanceDanceRevolution begins to make the jump to seventh-generation consoles with titles like UNIVERSE and HOTTEST PARTY while titles based on arcade releases continued to stick to the PlayStation 2.

2007 also marks the 10th anniversary of BEMANI. In celebration of this milestone, three live events were held throughout the year: pop'n music Culture Festival (ポップンミュージック文化祭) in February, beatnation summit in August, and THE GITADO LIVE in December. As one can infer from the names, each event focused on a specific series (namely, pop'n music, beatmania IIDX, and GuitarFreaks/DrumMania respectively) and featured live performances from artists and vocalists involved in those series.

2007 was a celebration of the old, but 2008 would become a celebration of the new, as it would mark the beginning of a new series.
