DanceMania is Toshiba-EMI Recording groups line of Dance CD's. Konami used to take music from dancemania and put it in games such as beatmania, beatmania IIDX and Dance Dance Revolution (Beatmania III too?). They now use AVEX Recording group.


Bemani is KONAMI'S Line of music games.

Konami uses Avex exclusively now? I know Avex songs have appeared in ParaParaParadise and the DDR spin-off Dancing Stage (which has the same name as DDR's European counterpart), as well as IIDX, mainly Super Eurobeat. But they don't use Dancemania at all anymore? Wow. o_o

As for the other questions: Are you talking about Dancemania, or DancemaniaX? Tomo already answered the question if you meant Dancemania, but just in case you meant DancemaniaX, it's another dance game by Konami that wasn't nearly as successful as DDR. Instead of stepping on panels, you wave your hands, feet, head, whatever, through sensors on the front of the machine. Fun, but not for very long. It ended in 1999, after 2 1/2 Mixes: 1st, 2nd, and 2nd Append J-Paradise.

As for Donkey Konga and Taiko Drum Master (AKA Taiko no Tatsujin), those are both by Namco, same company behind Pac-Man, Soul Calibur, Ridge Racer, Tekken, and countless other arcade hits. They have nothing to do with Konami or their Bemani line of games. The gameplay in both is nearly identical; colored icons scroll from right to left on the screen, representing how you should hit the drum. In Taiko Drum Master, you hit either the drum pad or the side of the drum, and sometimes there are notes where you have to hit harder than usual, and sometimes you have to hit the drum repeatedly for the duration of the note. In Donkey Konga, you hit the left drum, the right drum, or both at the same time, with variations similar to those in Taiko.

On a side note, this question is off-topic, and next time you want to ask something like this, it should be posted here:
