Another week, another event! Welcome back to your weekly recap of all things BanG Dream!







Events



The music never stops in a world full of idol bands. Hence why we only have 2 days left of ‘Luminous once more’. You better get to grinding if you’ve been lazy like I’ve been. Those 15 story levels sure seem like a lot though, especially since they get unlocked anyway after the event.

Something interesting about the upcoming event is that it marks a new point in Bandori event history. A point which every idol brand goes to at some point, the childhoods of the idols. Though it won’t be anything common as the next childhood event will be a Roselia one next year, expect cute things ahead.

In this week’s wholesome event, ‘Sundays at a Distant Park’, Kasumi and Hagumi reminisce about their childhood park. They remember this park fondly and set out to find it with the help of their friends.

Predicted to launch on the 10th of July, this event will be a ‘VS Live’ type event meaning we’ll be once again competing for a top score among our Multi-Live comrades.

Note: Since we are a whole 2 days before this event’s launch, specific things like the event song might be inaccurate and/or changed.

The story girls that’ll be giving you a 10% score bonus are:

-Toyama Kasumi

-Kitazawa Hagumi

Song Addition (VS Live Song)

“Days” will be the title of the new song coming to this event and is also being featured in the special ‘VS Live’ room to battle over entering the Top 100 score leaderboard.
