Konami School?

This probably isnt as related to Beatmania as it is any other konami title, but I did just stumble upon this site while browsing KOHTA's website. I cant quite read japanese, but from the looks of it, he's done lectures at Konami School before.

It's where they teach you to airiidxguitar. JON is an alumnus and had the highest scores.

It's a programming school. cc: Digipen

Taka and TaQ are graduates.

Didn't wac go there as well? I know for sure that dj TAKA and wac were schoolmates at some point.

天の龍 · 11-20-2006, 07:43 PM

Yep - wac went there as well.

Many of the graduateas are actually working on the Bemani AC -> CS conversions. A few also get moved on to higher projects. I know that a few of Igarashi's projects on the GBA and DS contained a bunch of graduates.

Wow, I want to go... ;-;

I was thinking about studying abroad anyways. Though I'd have to get my grades in check in order to do so. It looks fun XD

Taka... TaQ... wac... schoolmates... I see a djTAKA: Ace Attourney coming on.

This is very interesting...
but I don't understand japanese, anyone with translations?

On the picture they show people were doing some sound mixing or somthing. Wish I can join and have my title on the next beatmania LOL XD

Does this school only teach music ?

I like GOLI ~~~~~!!!!!

Hey, do you guys read? It's already been established that this school is a programming school.

Psydude · 11-29-2006, 01:36 AM

yup, it's a programming school.

but I do wonder, why they have musicians lecturing there? Maybe it's just part of the giant amount of cross-promotion Konami does with like every product they set out.

do they offer study abroad? oh that would be so cool.

and is it a 4 year institution, or 2 year, or a technical school? Probably the last one... but who knows. I wonder what it takes to get in, and who goes there? (or is it just post-college training facility?)

It seems there are four types of educations: programming, design, sound, and planning. Only 50 persons get selected. I'm not sure, but I think it's 2 years.

DJ Nobuo · 12-01-2006, 01:14 AM

wow...that's actually really cool...no wonder the quality of the music is so high...

since like half of konami's flagship products ARE music games, it does make sense that they would teach "sound" along with "programming, design, and planning", though i assume you only go there to get good at one of the four.

So, with 50 people, how exactly does a school like this work?
