BEMANI (ビーマニ) is the brand name of KONAMI's music simulation game series. The brand was originally named the '''Games & Music Division''' (G.M.D.) until it was changed in honor of its first successful game, ''beatmania'' in 1999. The name BEMANI is a Japanese syllabic abbreviation of '''''be'''''at'''''mani'''''a. Following the success of beatmania, the line was expanded with other music-based games throughout the years.
