BanG Dream!

“BanG Dream!” is a next-generation girls band project that links animated characters with real-life performances. It is a mixed-media franchise that includes anime, games, and live performances.

The fictional world and the real world are tied together thanks to the members who not only do voice acting but also perform as real bands: “Poppin’Party”, “Roselia”, “RAISE A SUILEN”, and as of recently, the fourth live band “Morfonica” who began its activity in March 2020.

The smartphone rhythm game “BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!” launched in Japan in March 2017 and was developed together with Craft Egg Inc., followed by a global launch in April 2018. The game has generated over 20 million downloads worldwide.
