I'm gonna start Bandtober now.

I'm gonna do this for both my fanbands.

Day 1: Introduction/Key Visual

Distant笑顔 (Distant Egao) (short form: DisuEga)

Distant笑顔 is a band of childhood friends, formed by Satou Ichika in order to restore their lost smiles from their childhood. Although Ichika is the one that formed the band, Haruki is considered the leader by the members of the band because of her charisma and extroverted personality.

The band's name represents their lost smiles: "Distant" and the Japanese word for "smile(s)."

The members are Satou Ichika (Gt. & Vo.) (It's a complete coincidence that I made her have the same last name as Masuki: Satou), Tanaka Amy (Gt.), Yuza Ichigo (Ba.), Iwata Mizuki (Dr.), and Itou Haruki (Key.).

Sweet🌸Casts (short form: Sweets)

(Trigger warning: Bullying mention) Sweet🌸Casts is a band of outcasts, discriminated against by other students for various reasons. Rhea for being a foreigner, Natsuko for being a trans girl, Suzume for having weird hair styles, Manami for having social anxiety, and Kame for just having a weird personality.

The band's name is a combination of the word "Sweet" and "Outcasts."

Edit: I forgot the members. The members are Mikami Rhea (Key. & Vo.), Yamaoka Natsuko (Gt. & Vo.), Asano Suzume (Ba.), Okazaki Manami (Dr.), and Shirou Kame (Tr. & Vo.).

Alright everyone! For Day 1 of Bandtober, I am proud to present BonTekuno!!

This is the most time I’ve ever spent on one drawing before . . . gosh . . . (Anyways it was totally worth it, especially because I tried to use Bandori’s style and it suits them way better than my style does!)

Now for the band’s introduction:

BonTekuno is a techno band with a goal of showing the world that truly anyone can make music-- after all, their band is made out of Haneoka’s former bully, a homeschooled chef, an “eco-friendly weirdo,” a chosen-to-be loner who thinks everybody is her senpai, and a geeky programmer.

And now the characters from left to right because I forgot to make little introduction things below them:

Ichika Wakara (Dr.) - Kona Sakuri (Ba.) - Oro Kimine (Vo.) - Nigira Okaa (Gt.) - Shiro Ayoni (DJ)

Anyway, that’s it for today! I’m super excited to keep working on this challenge, and I’ll see y’all tomorrow!

Edit: I forgot to mention why they’re called BonTekuno! Here it is from the document:

The original name of the band in their story was DJam, because their music is techno and so it was mostly revolving around Shiro. They got lots of feedback on this, mostly negative, because people believed that Shiro shouldn’t get all the attention and also because they thought that it wasn’t catchy and unique enough.

But then, after the first time they performed in the BonTraveler restaurant (Nigira's family's restaurant), Nigira had no words as to how amazing their performance sounded, and she could only get out, “Bon. Bon techno!” And that’s when they decided to name the band BonTekuno (Bon is “good” in French, and Tekuno is “techno” in Japanese.)

Edit edit: Forgot to mention that Nigira is French-Japanese and that's why she was speaking in French lmao

Since today is Misaki's birthday I decided to post my 'happy birthday edit' here for her

Anyways, happy birthday Misaki

I forgot to do day 11 yesterday, so I'll do both Day 11 and Day 12 today

Day 11 - Favorite original song by Poppin' Party

A tie betweenInitial and Breakthrough

Day 12 - Favorite original song by Afterglow

My favorite one so far is I knew it. I hope they release their full version soon.

I just traded away my main I must get the new cards >:c

my friend and I got to talking about the shuffle band election BanDori had, and ended up doing the same to ARGONAVIS. it was too good not to share. behold, the bands we came up with:

Nayuta’s Hell Band

• Nayuta
• Yamato
• Rio
• Kanata
• Misaki

my initial thought was "Nayuta's hell band just needs Yamato as long as we make it impossible for either of them to leave", then Trish raised adding Rio for the two extremes, and it just kinda happened like this ...

Megane + Wataru

• Ren
• Yuuto
• Kenta
• Wataru
• Reiji

Wataru is mainly here because Matoba bros. everyone else got added cause they have glasses. Wataru is probably not happy to be the +, but Ren assures him it just means he's special.

Kamogawa Kindergarten

• Shuu
• LIGHT
• Tadaomi
• HARU
• Miyuki

one kid, four teachers. try your best with Shuu, guys.

[muffled screaming]

• Fuuta
• ZACK
• Haruka
• Ryou
• Banri

high-energy band, and then Haruka is in the middle just kinda suffering. Jun is also suffering, but he's suffering in a way that makes Haruka suffer even more. please get Haruka out of this.

Reon’s Refuge

• FELIX
• Reon
• Aoi
• Kouhei
• D

a very calm band. Reon needs the break after everything he's been through with Gyro. it might be hard to get him to leave again once this is all over.

I wonder what kind of music they'd make.

(to quote Trish, "bold of you to assume nayuta's hell band makes any music. they will not even appear on stage bc nayuta refuses to do so bc of yamato")

Old screenshot, but so true.

Me and my 7 bands are having a party in my mind.

I got Arisa!!!! No Saya tho :(

OTae: "Cornets will always point north"

Rimi: "Ah yes, north is my favorite direction"

HAPPY BDAY MISAKIIII!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE A GOOD BDAY U ADORABLE UWU BB
