 Unfortunately, 2017 also marked the end of the [[BeatStream Information|BeatStream]] series. 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.
-To add more sad news, 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 uncredit in-house songs 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'''.

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 uncredit in-house songs completely. Nearly all BEMANI songs done in-house since fall 2017 feature the BEMANI Sound Team name in front of the artist name.
+However, it also left far more lasting effects in the series than just an added moniker in front of in-house artist names, including:
+* BEMANI Namahousou (kari) (BEMANI生放送(仮)), the live show that showcased various BEMANI activities, had its host fired and replace with [[Yuki Nakashima]]. No in-house BEMANI staff have since been appeared on the show following the June 28th episode.
+* In-house artists are no longer credited in live shows, only called ''BEMANI Sound Team'' in scheduled listings.
+* Artist albums published by KONAMI have ceased completely; the only albums since the change have been either [[HinaBitter|HinaBitter♪]] or Tokimeki Idol (ときめきアイドル) related. Game OST production has also slowed down significantly.
+* Most in-house BEMANI songs since October 2017 have stopped listing the artist name on the song jacket (though this has occasionally been zigzagged).
+* Song comments on new songs in [[AC DDR A|DanceDanceRevolution A]] and [[PnM AC Usagi to neko to shounen no yume|pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢]] stopped after fall 2017.
+** In the case of pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢, virtually no new characters were illustrated for the game.
+* In-house artists on the [[AC CANNON BALLERS|beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS]] website are exclusively credited to '''BEMANI Designers'''. Unlike the BEMANI Sound Team incident, where the artists were eventually credited, this has not yet been reverted.
+** Jacket artists for [[AC SDVX IV|SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN]] were somewhat unaffected by this change until mid-2018, where less and less artists have been credited.
+** [[Be a Hero!]] and all of the [[BEMANI SUMMER GREETINGS]] songs don't credit their respective jacket artists.
+* The 10th anniversary event of jubeat in [[AC jb clan|jubeat clan]], clan kakumichi original characters & songs (clan各街オリジナルキャラクター＆楽曲), exclusively involved commission artists, and all of the jackets for the event were commissioned as well.
+** The commissioned jacket trend has continued into [[AC jb festo|jubeat festo]].
