List of Bemani musicians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Bemani series of rhythm video games by Konami, it appears that seemingly hundreds of different musicians and groups perform the songs. However, in reality there exists only a core group of a few dozen Konami artists, performing under pseudonyms and forming new groups.
All names are in Western order (family name last).
This list does not include artists whose songs have been licensed by Konami, primarily through the Dancemania division of Toshiba-EMI.
This list of songs or music-related items is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
