GITADORA Turns 20!

Konami Amusement Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that today is the 20th anniversary of arcade music game series GITADORA.

The GITADORA series consists of simulation-type music games that recreate the feeling of playing in a band. Having started with the launch of "GUITARFREAKS" on March 15, 1999, and then "DrumMania" on July 21, 1999, the titles remain popular and have a large fan base to this day.

To mark this occasion, we will be holding two special events. The first, GF&DM CHRONICLE No. 1 1999-2002*1, is an in-game event in which players can play music using the 3-button guitar and 5-pad drums configuration from when the games first came out. The second, Quiz de Remember: GITADORA Reminisces 1999-2002 No. 1 *2, is a quiz event covering the songs featured in the series from its inception until today (1999-present) .

Fans can look forward to other commemorative events that will take place over the year, as we celebrate two decades of GITADORA.

Konami Amusement will continue to develop and publish music games, offering ever more players fun and exciting game experiences.
