Had only 2 multi and finally i got Hiromachi <3 second multi i got Tsugumi Hazawa 4s <3

Hello! I definitely would like to take the opportunity to write about my relationship with Bang Dream! Not just the game, but the entire franchise as well. Even if I’ve only been a part of this for a year, I have so much to say and be grateful for. This will probably be quite long, so forgive me haha

How it started:

If it wasn’t for Aiba Aina, I probably never would have taken an interest in Bandori at all. Because of her role in Revue Starlight and watching fan translations, I wanted to support her as much as I could. When she mentioned being a part of Roselia, I thought I should check it out. The very first song I listened to was FIRE BIRD.

I was immediately blown away.

It had the same effect as Kasumi with the random star and the first live she ever watched. It was my kira-kira doki-doki moment. After that, it simply snowballed. I listened to every Roselia song, watched the anime, listened to every Bandori song, watched fan translations of the seiyuus, then finally tried out the game.

How Bandori changed my life:

• My view on idols completely transformed. When I was growing up, I never understood the concept of avidly supporting, getting overly emotional, and cheering on for a group of people a company put together. It felt like such a detached concept, so it left a sour taste in my mouth. Now, I have the utmost respect and adoration for them. The hard work, the quality of performance and entertainment, the bonds and memories they are able to create, everything. I am just in awe.
• Listening to Roselia re-ignited the passion I had for music, especially Rock and Metal. Those have been my favorite genres ever since I could remember. I picked up and played my electric guitar for the first time in a long while. The feeling I had was incomparable and irreplaceable.
• My love for rhythm games was also revived. I always strived for full combos in Guitar Hero, Osu, and Cytus, but after a while I hit a wall and stopped. But with Banpa, I found the rhythm game I excelled at and to this day, I want to full combo or at least survive every song. My competitive nature came back.
• I started to draw almost every day again. I took a long break from drawing and just played video games. But as soon as I fell in love with the Bandori girls, I wanted to express it through art.

Speaking of loving the Bandori girls, one of them had such an enormous effect on me.

Hikawa Sayo

I’ve never felt so strongly for a character in a long time. I’ve watched so many shows, anime or not. No one ever elicited anything more than a “I like that character, they were pretty good” until I followed Sayo and her development. There’s quite a bit I want to say, so here I go:

• I understood her doubts and frustrations. It’s overwhelming to accept that even if you give 150% into something, you can’t beat natural talent and that you can fail your goals countless times. The endless comparing, practice, hours, anger, and most of all, repressed feelings; I felt it all. It was like looking into a mirror.
• Following the mending of her relationship with Hina, it reminded me that even through the darkest times, it’s possible to be at peace and heal. Her journey wasn’t linear, but the end result was what she wanted and worked for. Now she’s happy, smiling, opening her heart up to people, and accepting her past, present, and future self. I remember reading the Umbrella for the Autumn Rain event story and breaking down in tears. The desire to change is one thing. Taking the reins and consistently bettering yourself is another.
• Her determination and passion inspires me. Even after everything, she still has a level head and gives everything she has. For Roselia, her family, her friends, and herself. She’s my constant reminder. “Practice like you play, play like you’ve practiced.” Those words have been cemented into me and will remain there forever (I kinda wanna have a tattoo of it).
• Sayo is an incredible role model. I’m a big sister myself, so I hold her as a big example. Consistently doing what I possibly can, be the mature one, and share my wisdom and experiences, to name a few. Even outside familial bonds, I try to do the same. It’s a difficult thing to do, but I want to get better. And I know everyone can be better; all they have to do is take the first step.

Conclusion

I probably have a lot more to say, but my brain is fried. I might talk about it some other time outside of this community event, but yeah. I’m eternally grateful that Bandori exists and that I found it despite me being late to the party. I want to hold everything I’ve accumulated from this franchise forever and continue to support Bandori for as long as I can.

“I'll accept everything, and believe

(The world will change)

It's so filled with kindness

Enough that tomorrow will be dazzling too

Thank you.”

(Sunkissed Rhodonite, Roselia)

Ok so I want to participate in this because Bandori became a huge part of my life. Also very long, as I like to write about this. abbreviations: GC = group chat IG = Instagram IRL = in real life friend Pic + Event

My first exposure of Bandori and my experience as a beginner.

So in 8th grade, I was very addicted to LLSIF. That meant that I watched a lot of videos on YouTube about Love Live as well. Because of that, YouTube would recommend me videos based on a similar idea of Love Live (which would be, animes that involve singing). That was when I saw a video about a new game coming out as an English version. That video, was about Bandori's release. So, after watching that, I downloaded Bandori. At first I did not understand because the mechanisms was very different about LLSIF. I also went through the stage of just sticking to LLSIF and abandoning Bandori. Now this was when I feel a big change. I was in a program at my new school during the last weeks of summer break that helps 9th graders get prepared for high school. It was lunch time and I was bored, and I didn't have any stamina on LLSIF, so I played Bandori. That was all in 2018.

How Bandori has changed my life

Now that Bandori has been a big part of my life, a lot of good things happened. Here is a list:

1. Playing events is so much fun if you got nothing to do. That means also getting a lot of stars if you just stay in the desire ranking range and gather from the event rewards, which will help you get those amount of stars needed to do a big gacha coming up. I've been playing Bandori for a few times a day after my live boosts get fully recovered, and then play 3 lives w/ 3x LB. This has helped me get prepared for doing the Re:Zero gacha and the event, and now it will help me towards wedding Roselia in May!
2. I made a lot of friends! At the start of 10th grade, my irl told me that they finally downloaded Bandori after only listening to the songs (this was influenced by me (●'◡'●)) and because of that, our bond got stronger. Additionally, a month before the pandemic started in 2020, I joined a lot of GCs on IG which help me gather new friends that also liked Bandori. Now I actively look for new GCs in confession accounts that focuses on Bandori fans who are looking for ones who share other interests with me.
3. This is the first franchise that I got a collection of merch from. I've gotten a Sayo figurine as a gift from same IRL mentioned, lots of keychains, pins, etc.
4. If I haven't gotten into Bandori, I would have never met the 7 amazing bands, or even going to the Rausch and/und Craziness DV in 2020.

So, what has Bandori taught me?

A lot of things, such as the different types of music genre, but this is the most significant lesson I learned. My fav girl of all time is Sayo, and she taught me to stand up for myself and to basically speak up. I had an inferiority complex as well, but after watching Sayo's character analysis on YT, I stopped having this complex and learned that no one will learn what's happening w/you if you don't tell them anything. This moment was also the main topic of a project I did for English class last year.

Anyways, I'm going to stop here before I start writing a novel instead. I love Bandori and its impact, and I am looking forward to see what happens in the next 10 years or so of Bandori's era 💖. (3505 characters, 665 words)

#DaysofBanGDream

I think it will be a long post because I've much to say !

So, should I start by introducing myself ?

I'm Hirondelle, and I'm a french high school girl. Bandori is my favorite game, and I'm really sad when I think I will not be able to play next year because of my studies...

Starting playing bandori !

I've played bandori since almost two years. I was using amino a lot, and one of my communities changed its subject to BangDream. So, in order to follow this change, I installed the game and started playing it. I played every day for one or two months, but I wasn't reading stories, and stopped playing after a few months. After this, I didn't uninstall the game and sometimes started it and played one or two lives on anime songs I loved. And, last March, the lockdown started. I was relly bored and didn't know what to do. I took my tablet and started bandori to play a little. And I saw I didn't need much stars to pull a gacha, so I read the only band story left, the I need you one. I was used to skip stories, but this time, I read it because I didn't have anything else to do. And after finishing it, I wanted to know more about those band girls ! So I read the current event story, and the next, the next, the next etc, it was a year ago and I didn't miss one !

And... How has bandori changed my life ?

• First of all, Bandori helped me A LOT to learn english. Before reading stories, I had a normal high school english level. Now, I can understand, speak and write english ! I wouldn't been able to write this lot in english last year...
• I've played the flute for a lot of years, but my fingers was sometimes too slow for the rythm when I played... But now, after being able to clear levels 27 and 28 in bandori, my fingers are faster when I play the flute and now I can play really faster tracks !
• Since the lockdown, I sometimes make fandubs with friends, but at start I was not really talented to change my voice to play characters... But I tried to dub some bandori stories for myself, and to imitate voices of some of the girls, and it helped me to don't give up dubbing. And now, because I kept on because of bandori, one guy I met with fandub became my boyfriend !
• Be able to make a french cover of a Roselia song is my new goal ! And to do it, I need to be confidente in my voice, so I think bandori will help me to earn self-confidence ! (it's not a thing bandori already did, it will be in the next few months, but... I'm pretty sure it will happen !)

Now, time to speak about what the girls teached me...

• Kasumi : you can act childlish in a group of normal people, they will not systematically reject you
• Tae : loving animals really is a good thing
• Rimi : chocolate is life !
• Saya : everyone needs a kind big sister
• Arisa : it's not bad to be a tsundere
• Ran : it's normal to don't know how to tell our feelings
• Moca : eating can solve all problems
• Himari : be positive, and life will be better !
• Tomoe : don't forgot to take care of your little siblings
• Tsugumi (my best girl) : we all need a cinnamon-roll in our little world
• Aya : your idol can guide you, it's not a problem
• Hina : be talented is not a weakness (I thought this before...)
• Chisato : be kind with your friends, be straight with others !
• Maya : you can wear glasses AND be an idol
• Eve : you can live in an other era if you want to
• Yukina : singing is the best way to express ourselves
• Sayo : it's not always easy to have siblings...
• Lisa : a best friend is all you need
• Ako : play video games, more and more !
• Rinko : being shy doesn't avoid you to go onstage
• Kokoro : smile !
• Kaoru : I can hate a character. It never happened to me before her.
• Hagumi : being innocent is cute
• Kanon : you don't have to be the same as your friends
• Misaki : for your friends, you can become someone else...

hum... I think it's all I have to say, and this activity is already enough long, so I thank you for reading all of this, and sorry for mistakes !

How did BanG Dream! change my life?

• Currently I am going through a lot right now, and music is what keeps me mentally stable. I once had spotify premium for 2 months only listening to a bandori playlist and Linkin Park songs.
• While I have a lot of waifus in this franchise, I can relate to Sayo the most. (I have no younger sibling) I was always being mocked and judged for my standing in competitive online games, the main reason why I took games seriously as my would be career, and as a way to climb up the ladder and teach those who mocked me before to sit down and be humble. Due to this serious nature I sometimes end up being rude and toxic to fellow players if I do lose a lot, but not going too far beyond the line (e.g. racism, etc.). I swore to myself that my achievements are not to be bragged, and should be used as to inspire future players who are also climbing their own ladders.
• Way before I knew of BanG Dream! I already have plans to take on the piano/keyboard once I can afford it. Although I have remembered to have taken guitar class before and immediately quit, causing a huge waste on my parents' economy. Rinko being my waifu, she inspires me even more in the future and I have plans to purchase her specific keyboard brand.
• I like how Roselia's symbol is a blue rose, that symbolizes achieving the impossible. And just like Sayo, I always lack the confidence because of my anxiety and therefore I see things as difficult to achieve. I want to keep a blue rose as a decoration, reminding me that someday I will overcome everything that is pulling me down.

I love this franchise and it inspires me to keep on going with my life. Thank you, BanG Dream!

"Thank you, the song that shakes my heart returns."

#DaysofBanGDream!

I did it! The last one in the song section is really found randomly, but I did it without help! I am the 62th to succeed!

Bandori changed my life by introducing to my life the amazing band Roselia, i dont think ive ever followed such an amazing band like them, seeing their first live to their recent one, has been one of my biggest accomplishment (I also ended up Purchasing them all)

• Bandori also inspired me to get back to playing my guitar/keyboard and learned to play some Roselia songs ( i stopped playing years ago) Without Bandori, i dont think i would have the courage to get back to my old ways.. sooo THANK YOU BANDORI for existing

#DaysofBanGDream

I wanted to try this out too!

Bandori is pretty much the first mobile game I've ever played, that I have NEVER gotten bored of! Although, there is so much more it helped me with...

How I started

Honestly, the way I started wasn't very special lol. It was summer of 2018 and I was BORED. All of my games were boring so I was like "well, let's go check the play store so find something!". And so I did. I saw an icon with a beautiful looking brown haired girl with cat ears and beautiful purple eyes. The name of this game was "BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!". I thought, WOAH! THE ART IS SOOOOO PRETTY!!!! So I got it. Fast Forward almost 3 years, look who's here! It's me, and I'm still playing it!

How did It change my life?

Well, while it never changed my life THAT much, I could say it brought me lots and lots of smiles!

• I was, and I still am a big fan of KOKORO! I always tried acting like Kokoro because it was fun! I guess acting all happy just MADE me happy overall! And I guess acting like Hina made me feel extra Boppin!
• Hello Happy World itself (mainly Kokoro and Hagumi) taught me that acting childish (even when you're a teenager) is perfectly fine! (I used to be upset that I was childish, I blamed that for not having that many friends).
• All of the bands have helped me in someway or another, like how Pastel Palettes taught me that you can like cute things and its fine, and how you can just about be friends with anyone, even if you barely knew them when you met them.
• O-Tae taught me that being an airhead is also fine! This is merely one of the reasons O-Tae is a best girl (for me at least).
• I'm always kinda shy, and scared of how people judge me, but seeing Amane Shindou (Mashiro's VA, Amaneso is a QUEEN btw) being so strong and boppin, It encourages me to be strong as well
• Bandori brought me HERE to BANPA. I LOVE IT HERE! (and I made so many friends here too!)

There's probably more ways, but that's what Imma list for now!

Also, I don't want a prize, I just wanted to participate and share :)

#DaysofBanGDream

Where do I even start? BanG Dream has changed my life in so many ways.

When I first started BanG Dream!, I was going through one of the hardest times in my life. I was loosing friends faster than I could even comprehend, I was months from telling my like, 3 remaining friends that I was homeschooling, and overall, I was in a horrible state.

then, one of my remaining friends hooked me onto downloading BanG Dream!.

I loved the game almost instantly. I didn’t get a thing about it, and made like, a bunch of mistakes

( such as drawing soely in draw 1’s)

And like, basically from the moment I downloaded it, I was on it 24/7 throughout that pitifull beach trip. I think, if I have to be honest, I’d still be depressed without BanG Dream!, and that’s like the best rating I can /ever/ give a game.

Best girls !!

I made connections with the characters straight away. I had wanted a pixie cut for over a year since the time I downloaded it, and seeing how feminine Hagumi was able to look, it was cool to me. I love Hagumi so much, she really motivated me to do what /I/ wanted to do, and not what others wanted me to do.

Time waster

It also motivated me to spend more time doing something other than sitting on my floor and sulking. I could play a fun game that I actually enjoyed instead of doing something like, say, Sitting On My Floor And Sulking™.

I kinda wish I still had my starter account, that would bring back some memories of how much I sucked last year.. ahahha- also, I had.. wedding Arisa.. :sobbing:

Overall, BanG Dream! is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Thank you, BanG Dream! <3
