Bandori Party is proud to join the LGBTQ+ celebrations for Pride Month. A month of happiness, and recognition of diversity and acceptance for everyone.

Until the end of June, use the hashtag #PrideMonth🏳️‍🌈 to share your stories with us!

Attention all Bandori.Party Members!

We're once again actively recruiting new, dedicated staff members in multiple positions. When you go to apply, be sure to fully read all the details. If you have additional questions, please post them below and I will try my best to answer them!

Within this application, you may see that the Manager position will be recruited as well. You cannot apply for it, but we will decide internally by the winter of this year who will continue on as manager for Bandori.Party. I will be relinquishing my position as the manager for Bandori.Party. It was not an easy decision to make, as I have grown, nutured, and loved this community from the initial announcement of our little BanPa.

I feel a strong sense of responsibility for the site, so as I retire my manager position, I will retain some ability as a mentor for the next group of BanG Dreamers that want to continue on with our website. Unfortunately, I have too little personal time to fully dedicate as I used to. I find myself neglecting BanPa and doing everything required to keep the site "up to date" too little, and all at once. It is my hope someone else can carry on for Bandori.Party, and do what I used to back when we started. Thank you all for the support and memories!

Please check out the application for details.

APPS OPEN THRU JUNE 4th, 23:59 PST

*Please note: if you want to apply for multiple positions, select your first option, fill that application out, and the last question on the application will let you select another position to apply for!

Thank you all for being with us so far on our journey to create, cultivate, and have a happy little Bandori community!

Community Event Announcement: DaysofBanGDream!

Hello, hello! It’s me, the staff member with the scuffed profile picture!

It's been a while since the last event, hasn’t it. All of the Christmas stockings looked amazing. It has been three months, maybe longer?

Oh, that means it’s almost time for Bandori EN’s third anniversary.

And that means Morfonica is making their way to Bandori EN. The band is symbolized by a butterfly, an icon of change.

So, we would like to know how Bandori changed your life. Maybe you were inspired by a character? Maybe a live event caused you to pick up an instrument? What if you met a good group of friends through Bang Dream? Or maybe you started raising rabbits because of OTae?

We don’t know, so that’s why we want to know your story~

[color=red] Submissions are due by [utcdate=2021-04-16T00:00:00][/utcdate], which is in [countdown=2021-04-16T00:00:00][/countdown] [/color]

How Do I Participate?

To enter, you must make a new activity with the hashtag, #DaysofBanGDream on this website expressing how Bang Dream has influenced your life in a positive way. Do anything you want. Write something, draw something, express it through poetry, maybe write some song lyrics or parody an existing song, drop a music cover, do anything you can think of! You can also use the same hashtag on Instagram or Twitter!

Rules

Do not be inappropriate No low effort posts/memes (Low effort- one liners, or something short) Post during the event period

Prizes

Community members who participate (on the site) will receive an EXCLUSIVE, MEGA AWESOME participation badge after the event ends! (Artwork in progress, but trust me lads, it will be rad)

Guideline for Good vs Bad Examples

Good examples

• Hi, I’m AyaHina24, and my whole life, I’ve been afraid of public speaking because I’d always make mistakes. I started Bandori, and found myself drawn to Aya. Despite being a total klutz, she continues moving forward and inspiring others. Through Aya, I learned that it's okay to make mistakes, and that helped with my confidence.

• Hi, I’m 420MocaLisa, and I saw Saechi just destroy her guitar in front of a live audience. She looked so cool, and it made me also want to buy a guitar. I’m still not as cool as her, but I can play a few chords.

Bad examples

• I saw Ran skip class and go to the rooftop. Now, I just skip class and don’t care. (Don’t skip class, y’all)

• I saw Kaoru and now I’m gay. (While Kaoru is gay, the person in this example does not really go into detail on how Kaoru helped discover their sexuality.)

Closing Thoughts

Now that you all know the rules, and what to do, go make some noise. We are looking forward to it :)!

Ever wonder why the top 10 of each event always seems to share the same name? Or how they were able to get so many points in such a short amount of time?

It's thanks to tiering servers! Here's a comprehensive video on how you can also join the tiering community and learn how to use tiering servers to efficiently tier for events!

Bandori.Party's Best Girl Poll 2021

It has been a while since we've last held a poll about our users' best girls (December 2018!! 😮) and a lot has changed. New bands, fresh story content, and a bunch of bops have hit the BanG Dream! scene since a couple years ago. With Morfonica and RAISE A SUILEN coming to the English server soon, we thought now would be a great time to ask you all once again, "Who is best girl?" 🥇.

The poll will include more than just this quintessential question though! Bands, instruments, songs, Marina, and more will be asked about.

We plan on hosting another best girl poll next year too, that way we can see how the inclusion of the new bands in the English server shakes things up. So share this poll with other fans of BanG Dream!, and help us analyze how the community's opinions shift over a year!

We'll be accepting submissions up until [utcdate=2021-01-26T00:00:00][/utcdate], which is in [countdown=2021-01-26T00:00:00][/countdown].

Results will be posted in a future activity from [utcdate=2021-01-30T00:00:00][/utcdate] on, but our social media accounts will also have daily coverage of the main stats!

We hope you'll join us in discovering the BanG Dream! community's best girl!

Bandori.Party Announces... A Campaign for WW's collaboration with Baby Shark!

Hi all, I know all of our socks were rocked plum off when GBP WW announced Baby Shark was really coming this month (we reported it first)... We've seen a lot of positive feedback regarding the decision to have this collaboration on the Worldwide server, and plenty of negative as well. However, at Bandori.Party we try to see the best of things and have decided to hold...

THE #BBSCHALLENGE!!

What is that, you ask? Well, it's a cute idea where BanG Dream! Cosplayers can dress up as their favorite characters, and do the "Baby Shark" dance! Having fun and dancing to this infectious meme-song can actually leave you in a good mood sometimes, and seeing your favorite characters do the dance can only enhance the experience, right? However, we also are looking forward to even seeing NON-COSPLAY entries from our community members as well!

Make sure your submit your entry before [utcdate=2020-04-19T10:00:00][/utcdate].

Submissions close in [countdown=2020-04-19T10:00:00][/countdown]

What is the Baby Shark Dance?

We teamed up with community members and cosplayers to show you how it's done! Check the videos below to see their amazing examples!

How Do I Participate?

1. Dress up as your favorite girl, or otherwise, from BanG Dream!
2. Record yourself doing the "Baby Shark" Dance!
3. Post it to either:
   • Bandori Party with tag BBSChallenge (see how to insert YouTube video)
   • Twitter with hashtag #BBSChallenge and mention @BandoriParty
   • Instagram with hashtags #BBSChallenge #BanPa
   • TikTok with hashtags #BBSChallenge #BanPa

Guidelines

1. Negativity toward the cosplayers having fun is a huge no-no, please support their hard work! Even if you don't like the song, there is no need to be nasty to someone trying to have a good time.
2. Likewise, any negativity-filled submissions to the community event are highly disapproved.
3. No need for a high-quality cosplay! In fact, closet cosplay would be amazing to see from our community members, or you can just be yourself!
4. Have fun <3 First and foremost, this isn't a contest. It's a community event!

Prize? Prize? Priiize?!

A lucky, randomly drawn, participant will be eligible for a digital prize. We may scale up the prizes for more entries, so stay tuned to this post to see any progress!

Submissions Begin... NOW!

We will formally announce our community event on twitter, tomorrow to coincide with the release of Baby Shark, however our community members will see it first and be the first to know :D

Hello BanPa!

Battle of the Bands v4 (Results Are Out!)

Groupie Registration | Discord Server | Staff Application

Dates: October 27th-28th & November 3rd-4th

The staff of Bandori.Party are proud to announce the 4th Battle of the Bands! Featuring a shifted focus onto Missions & a revised Scoring System for Battles, both veteran and new groupies will want to read up on what's coming this time around.

General Outline

The Battle of the Bands is a special event hosted by the staff of Bandori.Party and other community members! Through Battles and Missions, you’ll earn points for a band we assign you to represent! Once everything is over, the final results will be calculated, rewards will be handed out, and that’s that! Sounds simple, right?

How does it work?

BoBv4 will feature 2 different methods of contributing points: Missions & Battles! Groupies are only required to participate in one of these, however you're allowed to participate in both. Based off the points gained from these two aspects of the BoB we'll tally up each band's total points, and the band with the most will be the winner of BoBv4!

Missions

Introduced in BoBv2, Missions are one way to gain points for your band! The IE team (the staff in charge of missions) assigns groupies Individual, Group, & Non-Bandori challenges each day in #missions_info, and points are distributed to the groupies' bands upon completion!

With flexible time limits & missions catered to all the different skill types, you can feel confident in your ability to contribute to your team with Missions!

Battles

A staple ever since the start of the BoB, Battles allow groupies to duke it out against other bands in multilives! During a Battle Captain's block, sign up to represent your band, and perform during the live to the best of your abilities!

With only a handful of 30-minute blocks & points scaling based off of performance, these are for skilled individuals whose hearts yearn for competition!

Interested?

If you are interested in participating, then read up more on Missions or Battles, & then use the registration forms linked up above to sign up!
