BanG Dream!! Roadmap Several Upcoming Releases Throughout Summer!
/In celebration of the third anniversary of the ultra popular anime rhythm mobile game BanG Dream!! Girls Band Party!!, Bushiroad announced the release of several projects to be released throughout the year. All announcements came off of BanG Dream’s ガルパ特番 さあ、行こう！みんなといっしょに3周年！ (Garupa Tokuban Saa Ikou! Minna to Isshoni 3shunen!) live stream which aired this past week.
The first announcement was “Daylight”, the first single of the debuting real-life fourth performing band Morfonica which also debuted in the mobile game at the beginning of March. Debuting as the franchise’s seven band, Morfonica breaks the traditional standard guitar-bass-drum-keyboard and DJ-and-vocalist formulas which the series is used to having by adding a violist into the mix. The violist takes the place of the keyboardist or DJ and adds a more elegant composition which makes them stand out from anything BanG Dream!! has done before. “Daylight” will be released May 27 and drop with two editions, a standard CD-only edition and a CD + Blu-ray limited edition. The Blu-ray will include the anime music video for “Daylight” along with the live action version of the music video and a behind-the-scenes making-of.
Scheduled for release on the same day as “Daylight” will be the next volume of the popular cover collection BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Cover Collection Vol.4. As its title implies, it will feature the full chorus versions of the cover songs used in the BanG Dream Girls Band Party! rhythm mobile game. It will include all seven bands: Poppin'Party; Afterglow; Pastel*Palettes; Roselia; Hello, Happy World!; RAISE A SUILEN; and Morfonica. Music production team Elements Garden will be handling composition and arrangements for the album.
Next up will be the release of the album Breakthrough! by BanG Dream!!’s first performing band Poppin’Party. Set for a June 3rd release, this will be the band’s second full-length album. It will be available in a standard CD-only standard edition and a 2-CD + Blu-ray limited edition. The second disc of the limited edition will include all B-side tracks for all singles released so far while the Blu-ray will include the music video for “Breakthrough!” (which the band filmed internationally) and footage from Poppin'Party Fan Meeting Tour 2019!. As an added enticement for fans, the limited edition will include a 36-page photo booklet.
BanG Dream!!’s second performing band Roselia announced that they will be releasing their second full album, Wahl , as well on July 15. Like Breakthrough!, Wahl will feature two editions, a standard CD-only edition and a CD + Blu-ray limited edition. Both editions will drop with twelve tracks and the Blu-ray will include footage from their solo live Flamme/ Wasser which took place at FujiQ Highland back in August of last year—which Ken went to!
Lastly, on August 19, RAISE A SUILEN, BanG Dream!!’s third performing band, will release their first album ERA. Like the two previously announced albums, ERA will have two editions, a standard CD-only edition and a CD + Blu-ray limited edition. The album will also drop with twelve tracks and the Blu-ray will include footage of their solo live Heaven and Earth which took place in Kobe World Hall last July.
