BanYa (반야), sometimes spelled BANYA or Banya, is South Korean Andamiro's musical group responsible for creating original songs for Pump It Up. The style of its music varies greatly, from hip hop to electronic, from rock to classical crossovers.
Classical remixes are among Banya's most popular productions. Several sonatas, symphonies and pieces feature in different versions. Mixing violins, guitars and heavy beats, these songs draw particular attention from players and passers-by.
Song catalogue
The group's first two releases under the name of Banya were Ignition Starts and Hypnosis, although Bee, Solitary and The Final Audition had been already recorded by Yahpp as an independent artist. Up to 2004 they released 3 albums, however some nonstop remixes of several Banya songs have also been made for Pump It Up.
On Exceed 2, CanCan was moved from the "K-Pop Channel" to the "Banya Channel", even though it was made by F2 Systems, who worked with Andamiro to make Extra Mix. Holiday, the other F2 song, has only showed up on Extra, Prex and Prex 2.

Discography
The 1st Step to the Banya
This album comprised all their songs from "Pump It Up: the 1st Dance Floor" to "The OBG SE", excluding Creamy Skinny and Koul, from the 2nd Dance Floor. It also included an electric guitar version of Ignition Starts instead of the original hardcore version, a version of Hate sung by Pp (the same girl who sang Pumping Up) and a completely new song, a ballad entitled Warm Shadow in a Stranger's Eyes (rough translation, as it's very hard to translate this title from Korean). All the songs that existed in a version longer than the one appearing in the arcade were included in their original versions, except The Final Audition.
