On the official site for the Bushiroad multimedia franchise, BanG Dream! It was announced that a fireworks show without an audience will be held on June 2 at 8:00 p.m. (Japan Standard Time), which will be broadcast through YouTube and Periscope.
The event is slated to last at least an hour, with a total of 2,000 fireworks, including one inspired by DJ Michelle from "Hello, Happy World!". In addition, four voice actresses will be present as special guests, including Rimi Nishimoto (Rimi Ushigome from Poppin'Party), Ayasa Ito (Arisa Ichigaya from Poppin'Party), Yuka Nishio (Nanami Hiromachi from Morfonica), and Risa Tsumugi (Chuchu from RAISE TO SUILEN).
Most of this year's fireworks shows in Japan were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the franchise decided not to cancel theirs to give some relief to their fans. The location where the event will take place is secret, precisely so that fans do not try to meet there.
