BEMANI Backstage was an Internet radio program hosted by [[Asaki|あさき]] and [[Yuei Uematsu|Yuei]] from March 1st, 2012 to September 9th, 2013. Each week on Thursday, they covered the latest news with other BEMANI staff members as special guests. In 2012, a BEMANI Backstageテーマソング (Theme Song) contest was held in SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR. The winning song, [[V.I.P.]] was added to [[SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH]] on November 8th, 2012. After the 70th episode, the program was put on indefinite hiatus. | BEMANI Backstage was an Internet radio program hosted by [[Asaki|あさき]] and [[Yuei Uematsu|Yuei]] from March 1st, 2012 to September 9th, 2013.

== BEMANI Sound Team == | |||
Since November 1st, 2017, all in-house KONAMI original songs in BEMANI have been solely credited to '''BEMANI Sound Team'''. The reason for this is unknown but it appears to be a policy extending throughout the Konami Amusement department. In-house musicians also now solely appear in music live events only and are referred collectively as "BEMANI Sound Team". In-house graphic artists on KONAMI websites are solely credited to '''BEMANI Designers'''. | |||
* The term was however used already as part of the announcement of the ''Continuing the Seniors! The Second Vocalist Contest'' update for [[AC SDVX IV|SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN]] on October 13th, 2017. The contest songs only credit the vocalists. | |||
* Currently in [[AC DRS|DANCERUSH STARDOM]], in-house songs are credited to "オリジナル". | |||
** They are normally credited (with the BEMANI Sound Team notation) in the game's official website, however. | |||
* As of December 13th, 2017, all the in-house KONAMI original songs added from there and on credit the artist name as well, written within quotation marks after the BEMANI Sound Team name. | |||
** In-house artists' collaboration aliases such as [[Yoshihiko Koezuka|Trick]] [[Mutsuhiko Izumi|Trap]] and [[Daichi Watanabe|GeMi]][[Akhuta|NioИ]] do not have the BEMANI Sound Team title. | |||
* In-house composers in soundtracks have been either credited under either '''BEMANI Sound Team''' or '''Konami Amusement''' with their real names or aliases enclosed in parentheses. | |||
* BEMANI Sound Team is credited in ''METAL GEAR SURVIVE'' for the cassette tape music, alongside the ''PES Sound Team'' (referring to the musicians and sound designers of the ''Pro Evolution Soccer'' series) and the cryptic ''Successive KONAMI Composers''. | |||

The kanji in parenthesis in the title, 仮 (kari) means temporary, indicating that the program might change its name but was eventually kept as it is. Each Wednesday, various BEMANI staff cover the latest BEMANI news for each of the active series. The program is also commonly used to reveal exclusive news for the first time. On December 12th, 2014, the logo used for the program was revamped. | ||
Throughout 2017, BEMANI生放送(仮) stopped being weekly and aired only in specific days (to the point of becoming a rare occurrence), plus it also started to cover other KONAMI games such as the ''QUIZ MAGIC ACADEMY'' series. Since October 2017, in-house artists stopped appearing due to the BEMANI Sound Team policies. | |||
