Pentavision is the maker of DJMax and also the Easy DJ series of arcade games (well, it's the same developers under their previous name anyway). Konami Korea has announced it (this is probably the only significant thing they've done, in fact) and Bemanistyle reports it in English. What's interesting to me is the comments in that thread - Bemanistyle is obviously a site for Beatmania players, but the response has generally been "lighten up, Konami," given that DJMax has actually had a very solid reception in that community. We'll see what happens, but Guitar Hero and Rock Band sill exist, so! Thanks to Ouendan for the news.
