IIRC the Topranker DVDs contain videos from the topranker event during the Bemani Expo.
Vol. 1 has IIDX and Pop'n, Vol. 2 has GF DM.

As far as I know it was something like an invitational tournament at Bemani Expo.
I know FINE* (SILV) won the IIDX division but I'm not sure about the rest.

Not trying to sound clueless, but what is "top ranker" event?
As far as I know it's a sort of competition where the top players from each prefecture (or something like that) in Japan in each of the Bemani games are invited to Yokohama to compete against each other to be ranked as the 'top' player in that particular Bemani game.
