Your block of weekly BanG Dream! is back off hiatus, everyone!~ And just in time for an event that is releasing together with this article. Let’s get started.



Event

‘Sundays at a Distant Park’ event banner

Now that the “Sundays at a Distant Park” event’s reward period is over, we’re hopping over to a new Hello Happy World themed event to fill up the rest of the month. Named “Happy Adventure! ~Treasure Island Smiles~”, very on the nose indeed, it is a Challenge Quest event. This means you’ll have a set of goals to finish in order to get rewards.

In the story we’ll be following the members of Hello Happy World as they go on an Indiana Jones meets your typical pirate treasure hunt-esque adventure.

EVENT BONUS MEMBERS AND TYPE

The event bonus members for an extra 10% on your score are the girls from Hello Happy World, as mentioned above. No more, no less.

Purity goes along well with this band’s theme, I’d say. So, make sure to make your band members match, as Pure cards will be handing you a nifty 20% score bonus on your songs.





EVENT MEMBERS

Playing through this one, you’ll land two new cards if you reach enough points. Those are:



★★★ Seta Kaoru – I’m Here with You

Kaoru’s here for us, making sure we don’t die when messing up with her skill The Fabulous Explorer – gaining us 450 life and a flat 20% score increase for 8 seconds. You’ll be getting this Pure Kaoru after reaching a whopping 150,000 points, so you better get to playing!

★★ Kitazawa Hagumi – Grand Adventure!

When in doubt, go together! Happy Hagumi’s Nothing Scary if We All Go skill boosts your Great notes to Perfects and ups your score by 10% for 8 seconds. Obtainable after only 30,000 event points.

Song Addition

And of course, with a band themed event, we’ll also be getting a new song. It’s an original single by Hello Happy World named “High Five ∞ Adventure“. Every player will be receiving it for free in their gift box. Difficulty-wise it’ll be mid-tier, with a song level of 19 and 26 on hard and expert respectively.

Take a listen to the official CD preview here. It released along with “Fuwa Fuwa☆Yumeiro Sandwich” earlier this year:





Gacha

The gacha banner has the rest of the members that didn’t appear on the event point ladder. So, that’ll be a Pure attributed Kokoro, Kanon, and Misaki coming right up!

★★★★ Okusawa Misaki – How Did this Happen?

Minna daisuki Michelle dayo! Misaki’s equipped with Treasure Hunt, giving you 450 life recovery as well as a 60% score increase for 7.5 seconds.

Her card art is also featured as an event sticker you get after 50,000 event points.





★★★★ Matsubara Kanon – Have Courage

Kanon becomes your Reliable Senpai, generously giving you a 100% score increase for 7 seconds. Try to roll her if you’re planning to work on this event and don’t have a better Kanon.

★★★ Tsurumaki Kokoro – Exciting Find

Wanna go on a Happy Adventure? Sure you do! Let Kokoron help. She’ll grant you a score increase of 55% (or 65% if Life is over 900) for 7 seconds. Better than the Misaki 4★ if you play your notes right.

News

Unfortunately, the last two weeks were almost empty in terms of game news. There were some leftover mentions of the Anime Expo 2019 events, Kasumi’s birthday passed, some attribute banners switched up, and that’s about it.

There is news about these articles though. First of all, an apology for skipping a week. There wasn’t any news to cover, nor any event to write about, and my schedule was too crowded to hunt artists and Reddit posts to feature. I am also considering doing these every 10 days instead of weekly, as event periods are 10 days. Having the weekly format makes everything really awkward when working with the Bandori schedule. That, or I might call them weekly while jumping around a day or two to match events like I did today.

A big thank you to the Bandori fandom page for compiling some of the info.

Here’s the end comic, and thanks for reading.
