Music has
the power to connect realities, and the competitive universe of virtual bands
is about to make a massive leap to the small screen. To kick off the summer
season with a bang, the multimedia franchise confirmed that the animated
adaptation of BanG Dream! Yume Mita (BanG Dream! Yume∞Mita) will
debut on Japanese television on July 2. To ensure that viewers are
caught up in its rhythm from the first second, the production made an atypical
decision: it will release the first three episodes simultaneously.

Minetsuki dominating the guitars.

The
technical team behind the scenes
Orchestrating
the television debut of these virtual idols required assembling a team of
industry veterans. The NICHICALINE studio is
responsible for the animation under the general direction of Tomomi Umetsu. The
narrative, a crucial element to trap the viewer in any musical slice of
life, is being shaped by Midori Goto's scripts. To maintain the project's
vibrant aesthetic, Osamu Nobusawa and Mochipuyo are in charge of adapting the
character designs to the screen.
Being a
franchise that breathes music, the sound section has a colossal weight. The
production of the original tracks falls on the shoulders of PHYZ and Bushiroad
Music, ensuring that the soundscape exactly matches the emotional and
energetic tone that the story demands, all under the meticulous mix of sound
director Satoshi Motoyama.
