The closed beta test for BanG Dream! Our Notes has officially concluded, marking a key milestone for the upcoming mobile title ahead of its expected 2026 release window. Following the 2017 success of Girls Band Party, this new entry shifts its narrative focus to five lesser-known groups within the franchise.
Quick Facts
- Franchise: BanG Dream! (Bandori), active since 2015.
- Featured Bands: Ave Mujica, MyGO!!!!!, Mugendai MewType, millsage, and Ikka Dumb Rock!.
- Platforms: Mobile (iOS via App Store, Android via Google Play).
- Pre-registration: Currently open on the App Store, Google Play, and the official website.
Gameplay and Story Integration
Unlike previous entries, Our Notes highlights five specific groups instead of continuing the Girls Band Party rosters. While Ave Mujica and MyGO!!!!! have established anime seasons, and Mugendai MewType features an anime series without live performances, the game also introduces two brand-new bands: millsage and Ikka Dumb Rock!.
Story segments are delivered through animated visual novel sections utilizing Live2D character models alongside voice acting. During rhythm gameplay, the title swaps out traditional 3D music videos for Live2D performances, reducing resource requirements and device strain.
Performance and Beta Limitations
During the one-week closed beta test, participants experienced stable rhythm gameplay without input lag, though some limitations applied. Story access was restricted to the Ave Mujica and MyGO!!!!! narratives, while the gacha and character acquisition mechanics were entirely disabled with currency pre-loaded for testing purposes.
Players looking to secure rewards ahead of launch can pre-register on iOS via the App Store, Android via Google Play, or through the official biligames portal.
