The Bemani Pocket (ビーマニポケット) series is a short-lived attempt by Konami to capitalize on the market of portable entertainment in the late 1990s. They were introduced in the Japanese market during 1998 and they featured versions of most Bemani games, usually with an existing brand or franchise attached as advertisement. The most common releases were based on Beatmania with sixteen releases, with pop'n music and Para Para Paradise only receiving a single release.
