What Is “BanG Dream!”? (Beginner-Friendly Overview)
“BanG Dream!” is a next-generation girls’ band multimedia project created by Bushiroad. Unlike traditional anime series, BanG Dream uniquely connects fictional characters with real-life performances.

- TV anime series
- Mobile games
- Live concerts and events
- Movies and mini-anime projects
This innovative approach has helped BanG Dream build a passionate global fanbase.
A Decade of Music and Storytelling
The BanG Dream project celebrated its 10th anniversary on February 28, 2025, marking a major milestone. To commemorate the anniversary, the franchise released the 52-episode mini-anime “Original! BanG Dream-chan,” which streamed over the course of a full year.
Over the years, BanG Dream has introduced many beloved bands, including:
- Poppin’Party
- Roselia
- Morfonica
- RAISE A SUILEN
- MyGO!!!!!

All of these bands are active not only in anime but also in real-world music scenes, performing concerts and releasing albums.
