THE COLLECTION

WHAT'S ON THE FLOOR

Five Japanese rhythm cabinets. Four manufacturers. Every one running original arcade hardware with original timing. This is the largest private rhythm game collection in the Bay Area.

SOUND VOLTEX

KONAMI · BEMANI

Four buttons, two FX keys, two analog laser knobs. HARDCORE TANO*C soundtrack. The most technically demanding rhythm game in modern arcades. Valkyrie Model cabinet with 120Hz display.

CHUNITHM

SEGA · ALLS

Touch slider bar plus air sensors. Tap, hold, slide on the bar while waving hands through the air strings. Part of SEGA's Performai trio alongside maimai and O.N.G.E.K.I.

WACCA REVERSE

MARVELOUS · ALLS

Circular touch display. Notes approach the ring border — tap, slide, flick on the 360-degree panel. Only ~400 units shipped worldwide. Running final offline firmware. One of the rarest rhythm cabs on Earth.

PROJECT DIVA ARCADE

SEGA · RINGEDGE

Hatsune Miku and the Vocaloid cast. Four main buttons plus slider and touch panel. The game that proved virtual idols could fill arenas.

BEATMANIA IIDX

KONAMI · BEMANI

Seven keys plus turntable. The original. Running since 1999. Lightning cabinet with 120Hz display and Nvidia GTX 1660. The deepest competitive rhythm game ever made.

TAIKO NO TATSUJIN

BANDAI NAMCO

Don and Ka. Hit the drum. Japan's most beloved rhythm game since 2001 — simple to learn, impossible to master at Oni difficulty.

THE CULTURE

PARALLEL UNIVERSE

Fighting games weren't the only reason people went to arcades. Running alongside the FGC, an equally passionate community grew around rhythm and music games. In Japan, the game centers are split — fighters downstairs, rhythm upstairs. Two cultures sharing the same fluorescent lights.

WACCA's short life and devoted community mirror many arcade games — built with love, played with passion, taken away too soon. The surviving cabinets are treasured by the communities that maintain them.

BEMANI started it all in 1997 with beatmania. Then came DDR, GuitarFreaks, DrumMania, Pop'n Music, IIDX. Konami built the foundation. SEGA answered with maimai, CHUNITHM, O.N.G.E.K.I. Marvelous delivered WACCA. Taito built Groove Coaster. The parallel arcade culture has its own legends, its own tournaments, its own language.

The BEMANI Pro League — Konami's official esports circuit — runs team-based competition across IIDX, SDVX, and DDR with seven professional teams. This isn't casual gaming. This is the highest level of human rhythm performance, measured in milliseconds.
