Bemani is short for Beatmania. Japan has a habit of shortening the titles of games and animes to the first syllable of each each key word. Examples:Originally posted by Tones
I thought that Bemani meant music games in general... meh.
Suto (Street Fighter), Meso (Metal Gear Solid), Dorakue (Dragon Quest), Dabudora (Double Dragon), Pokemon (Pocket Monster), ect.
Bemani then turned into the name for all of Konami's music games
