U.S. Bemani dream concert As we all know, Konami hosts events in Japan periodically where Bemani artists play a live show with their works from the games. There have been several concerts for pop'n music, 2 invite only IIDX "Secret Live" events and just recently the beatnation Summit occured featuring artists and special guests from the beatnation records label.
We've had a few artists from Bemani titles grace the US with their presence and perform. DJ CHUCKY and NO+CHIN played at ACen (GUHROOVY came to hang out), kors k has done bowlmanifest 2 years in a row and Ryu* is planning to make it next year. What about other artists though? What about a huge U.S. bemani concert event in the U.S. sponsored by Konami?
The games are getting much more popular in the states now, and they've been taking risks like testing IIDX GOLD in the U.S., and bringing e-amusement over to our shows. Why not have a huge event out here? It may only be a pipe dream, but even then which artists would you like to see play in the U.S.? How far/where would you travel for an event like this in the states? What would your dream event be like? Even if it may never happen we can always dream right?
