Bang Dream!

BanG Dream! (バンドリ！) is a Japanese multimedia franchise created by Bushiroad that combines music, anime, and rhythm gaming. The story centers around Kasumi Toyama (戸山香澄), a cheerful girl who discovers the thrill of live performance and forms the band Poppin’Party with her friends. The series follows multiple all-female bands—each with unique styles and stories—as they chase their dreams through music and friendship.

Launched in 2015, BanG Dream! has grown into a major music franchise featuring live concerts performed by the voice actresses themselves, a successful mobile game (BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!), and several anime adaptations. With millions of downloads worldwide and real-world performances that sell out major venues, BanG Dream! has become a defining project in Japan’s modern idol and band culture.
