Ever seen your friends posting some neat BEMANI scores and wonder how they were doing it? Now you can too! This guide will help you share your scores to social media via the eAMUSEMENT app.

When you’ve signed into the app, an option will appear in most current BEMANI games other than MUSECA and Nostalgia. This option may be pressing a numpad key (IIDX/SDVX: “0”, DDR/popn: “1”) or tapping a Play Share “プレーシェア投稿” button on the REFLEC BEAT results screen. Doing this will save a screenshot to your account (in the App) for 24 hours only.

For jubeat (smartphone only, coming soon) and GITADORA, you will need to visit the game’s website, browse your play history, and choose which score you’d like to upload. jubeat stores 10 past scores, or 30 if you subscribe to the Basic Course, while GITADORA’s website seems to store an unlimited amount of song history!

But before all this, the first thing you’ll need to do is register your eAMUSEMENT Pass and linkit to a Japanese KONAMI ID. We help walk you through that here! If you’re not in Japan, creating a Japanese Google account or iTunes account is also needed to download the app itself. The latest version is only available on iOS 9 or higher and Android 4.2 or higher.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to save your screenshots to your device other than taking a screenshot of the screenshot, in the app, manually. Let’s dive right in:

  After signing into the eAMUSEMENT app, you’ll be greeted with the homepage

Tap the pink (Compose) button in the bottom-right to start writing a post

Tap the (Camera) button up top to choose an image from various sources

Next, touch the “プレーシェア” (Play Share) icon to choose your in-game screenshot Note: This option will be grayed out not allowing access if you do not have your KONAMI ID linked with the eAMUSEMENT app.

The other 3 options are “アルバム” (Phone’s Gallery) “写真撮影” (Camera) and “フォトフレーム” (Photo Frames)

Your saved images will be listed in order with the most recent on the left. Posted ones will be grayed-out. Tap on the image you want to share.

After choosing the image, tap the pink “決定” (Decide) button at the bottom to confirm. For now, you can only post one screenshot at a time.

  At the top of each post, you’ll see various icons. In order, they are: Screenshot, Game (auto-selected, but changeable), Poll, Play Location, Twitter, and Facebook

The social media options require you to authenticate using those accounts. On some devices, or if you’re not using the official apps for each, you might have trouble with this. Try to re-authenticate and make sure the icons are both blue. (White means not sharing)

Polls only show up in the eAMUSEMENT App, but they’re still fun to use! (The last option is to make votes anonymous)

You can also choose the arcade where you got the score, from your recent locations.

Type your status, throw in some hashtags, make sure your options are set, then tap the pink “投稿” (Post) button to finally post! You’ll be taken to the game’s feed.

Screenshot examples from each of the supported games can be found below!

#gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

This English translation ‘how to’ is going to teach you how to add PASELI credit to your eAmusement pass to use in various Konami games. PASELI (Pay Smart Enjoy Life) is a digital currency used in Japan which can be used for payments on games as well as microtransactions, and more across select eAmusement enabled games. PASELI was branded in 2010 after the previous Konami currency, Konami COIN was discontinued. Konami COIN never transferred to PASELI credit unfortunately. beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem was the first Bemani title to support PASELI, and since then, every game after was supported.

Getting Started:

If you have yet registered for a Japanese eAmusement account/Konami ID, you need to start there. Follow our English translation here to get started!

What you should have on hand is either a PASELI prepaid card, Japanese supported credit card (Visa, MasterCard, JCB), or BitCash electronic currency to add to your balance.

After logging in with your Konami ID on the PASELI homepage, you’ll want to scroll down until you’re given a few options and pricing in yen.

First section: If you have a PASELI card (Japan only) you can enter your characters on the back of the card to redeem. PASELI vending machines can be found around Japanese arcades.

Second section: Payments with a Japanese credit card (クレジットカード) or BitCash is most likely what you’re looking for. BitCash will need to be purchased elsewhere for different amounts up to 5,000￥. 500￥ equals 500 P (PASELI credit).

For players who want to add credit with BitCash, check the amount of BitCash you recently purchased next to the specific yen amount and click on the green button to accept the agreement, select BitCash, and click on the green button once more.

  Enter in the 16 hiragana BitCash code and click on the green button to approve. Click once more to confirm the purchase.

Your account now has been loaded with PASELI currency.

Your PASELI history addition and deduction for each month and game can be seen here.

With Round 1 locations popping up in the United States and more to come, as well as select Dave & Buster’s locations that will soon have access thanks to DanceDanceRevolution A, The United States has been able to take part in Konami’s eAMUSEMENT service.

Ever thought that Konami’s “Basic Course” subscription service seemed a bit lonely without a premium counterpart? Fret no longer, for the day has finally come! A new “Premium Course” has been announced and will begin in May. Until then, it will be free to all users who are currently using the Basic Course. The official page details some additions.

UPDATE: Pricing has been revealed as 216P for the Premium Course, with the 324P Basic Course as a prerequisite, totalling 540P.

  IIDX gains 3 major benefits. The first being the Platinum Members Card:

This gives you 10 V-discs when starting a game (presumably with PASELI) rather than 7…

…plus the ability to quickly re-start a song in Premium Free mode! This is done by holding the VEFX and EFFECT buttons down. Perfect for getting that Random you’ve been looking for…

  …PLUS, the addition of two extra My Favorite folders! These are selectable on the results screen by moving the turntable.

  As with the first My Favorite folder, the “Extended” folders can be edited on the website:

  One last bonus for IIDX is the ability to download your score data in a .csv spreadsheet format, which looks quite nice:

  In Sound Voltex, you can also download your score data, although it’s formatted and grouped by charts, rather than by song:

  SDVX players also gain the ability to change their SKILL LEVEL title/plate between any ones that they have obtained.

  In Jubeat, a Score Graph has been added for each song-chart, showing your play history similar to how IIDX CS releases had in the past:

  So far, these are the only benefits announced for Bemani titles, but hopefully more are on the way for other games.

As for pricing, it hasn’t been announced yet. One assumption might be that the Basic Course might be reduced in price, to, for example, 200P per month, with the Premium Course being slightly higher at 400P.

  What would YOU pay for each service?

DanceDanceRevolution 2015? Scratch that, we reported earlier that certain Dave & Buster’s locations will be getting DDR this Summer 2016 season, and now, we can finally confirm that North American Dave & Buster’s specifically placed orders for DanceDanceRevolution A in the white cabinet to be sent to stores and will be arriving this Spring/Summer to just under half their locations. With the eAMUSEMENT network absolutely needed for the game to run, our sources have implied that it’ll be a localized version with a constant connection online. We’re still unaware if eAMUSEMENT passes will be supplied to stores upon release and to what else the localization will feature.

We’ll be bringing you more song and feature announcements on DDR A now that it has been released in Japan during our BEnama coverage!
