Welcoming an Upgraded Bandori.Party!
--Due 28 February, 2018
Hi everyone, long time no see! Today we are unveiling the most anticipated features for the site, Collectibles! What are collectibles? Simply put, these are the things you can store on your account right here on Bandori.Party! Options for collectibles in this update are Cards, Events, and Songs!
If you are familiar with the other sites apart of the Circles family, the only new feature for you would be Songs, where you can now collect your high-scores and share your plays! If you are new to how our site works, here's a run-down on some very popular features. Cards are collectible, so you can store all the cards on your GBP account associated with that profile! You can even catalog if a card have been trained or not, it's skill level, and which episodes you've unlocked! You can even use your favorite owned card as a profile image for that account. It's pretty sweet! Besides Cards, there are Events. Events store your high-score, ending rank, and depending on the Event Type, some other info!
Now that we've gone over the basics of what is in this Collectible update, let's go over other fixes and helpful additions to our community!
Search Filter Upgrades
- You can now search by server availability! (Applies to Event, Gacha, Cards, and Songs)
- We've compacted how skills are stored, so there is only 1 search filter for skills!
- View Promo Cards!
- Filter out any cards that aren't trainable with Rarity.
- Visualize the cards in different way by looking at transparents, icons, chibis, and art!
- Visualize cards by Statistics. Helpful for creating teams! You can also choose a specific stat, overall, or if the card is untrained or not!
- Search Limited Gacha!
- Search by Event Type -- Normal, Challenge, Band Battle, and Trial.
- Search by Japanese Skill & Card Names
- Press enter to confirm filters~
- Search by "Origin" (Gacha, Event, Promo)
- A more detailed list from Github
Database Upgrades
Skills received an overhaul in how they are displayed and stored. Now you can search by just the main skill (Score, Lock, and Heal) and view the card to see what other bonuses the skill has if any! These are more accurate than the old system using main and side skills and should reduce confusion on card functionality.
Events now have specific parameters. For example, Challenge, Versus & Normal Events have space to record your Song Score & Rank (Challenge only has space for 1 currently, so pick your best score from the 3 songs here for now). Live Trial events have a place to record your completion of the Trial tasks (normal & EX)! You can still add an event to your account despite not knowing your final rank & score-- just leave it blank!
Multi-Server Functionality includes the ability to store accounts on any of the functioning GBP servers, as well as searching all collectibles within that server's availability. We even store that server's gacha & event banners within the event's page now, so that's cool as well!
Among our Miscellaneous Site Improvements are some great bug fixes, such as removing an error where it would state "x days ago" on events in the future. We also re-hauled to the way our wiki is set up, separating Site Help under the Three Dot Icon, and our GBP-Centered Wiki under the Girls Band Party tab! Which, if you didn't notice, we upgraded the tabs for the site! Currently, the actual GBP-Centered Wiki is still a work-in-progress, but we'll update again when it's closer to completion, but we do have a new side-bar set up.
Cards are now set to sort by release date on default. Remember to set your server preference to see what's available! There's also faster loading thanks to cache pages, compacting of listed images when available (for example, card previews),
Additionally, we've pushed an update for profile info. You can attach a verification screenshot to a specific account, store your friend code, assign that profile a server and what you play the game with (yes, even sausages). There's a detailed and simple form for profile creation now depending on how you feel. You can specify the default tab on each account AND profile! You can nickname your accounts for ease of cataloging, and each account will show up on the leader board with a signifier of the server it's on.
Also there's a cool, hidden feature if you decide to use our site in Japanese or Korean, you'll see a new special logo created for the site just for you! The front page also comments on our donators with cute adjectives to make you feel special. And finally, we've updated our contact forms for better feedback.
With all this new stuff to look forward to, we hope you'll continue using our site and become an active member of our community! Thank you all for your patience and support for almost the entire year, and be on the look out for some cool swag we're giving away to celebrate!

as an avid fan of both popipa and roselia's seiyuus, i'm really heartened by how supportive everyone is to shizaki kanon / nonchan! to follow up her induction into roselia yesterday, nonchan posted a thread about her feelings on voicing rinko (i tried to translate it otl)
"this is shizaki kanon once again. yesterday, i took part in my first live as roselia's keyboardist. i was very anxious and extremely nervous about whether fans would accept (me as) the new shirokane rinko, and whether i would be able to play my piano solo perfectly until the end, but everyone warmly welcomed me, and i was very touched.
as a newcomer, i understand the great importance and responsibility that comes with acting a popular character (contents?). from here on i will work harder and harder and the piano and acting, and would like to put in effort into becoming closer to shirokane rinko.
yesterday's live was one that solidified my determination as part of the future roselia. in order for everyone involved in the franchise to accept me, i will face forward and start working hard. i'm looking forward to working with all of you."
++ pics she attached to her last tweet
please take my translations with a pinch of salt oof but also with her being a newbie in the industry she's probably feeling a lot of the heat! i really hope everyone will accept her and our 12 member roselia

Bandori.News Round Up! vol. 9
We've decided to switch the format to bi-weekly, This is mostly due to the news itself being kind of slow, twitter being accessible, and my (violetR)'s new upcoming work schedule. I hope you all will still check in for these updates, and if anything time sensitive comes up, we will try to tweet or retweet when information comes up! Thank you!
Game News
The game has seen alot of new additions in the last two weeks. First off, a New Event and Gacha began featuring Afterglow! The 4 star for this was Himari Uehara, and our event card is Ran Mitake! The event wraps up in 7 hours. Be sure to grind quickly if you're wanting to stay in a certain tier, or get your rewards!
As for songs, we'll start with a cover from Poppin'Party. "Only my railgun" from fripSide was released. This is part of the 4 covers that were announced from the beginning of August. The only song remaining is from Afterglow on 31 August.
Our original songs we've gotten these last few weeks were "Hachigatsu no IF" from Poppin'Party to commemorate the airing of the Bang Dream! anime OVA. Additionally, Roselia's new single, "Nesshoku Starmine" was added to commemorate their appearance at Anisama, a large concert event where anime music is performed. More information can be found about the event if you can read Sakuragawa Megu(Ako)'s blog!
Finally, Story 17 released on the GBP app, giving everyone access to the Rimi solo song, "Chocolate Teion no Recipe". The release of this new main story ended the exclusive Dream Festival gacha for 3.5 million users on the GBP app, where we saw a 3% chance for a 4 star member. Additionally, the RT campaign for the Lawson Collab cards was successful! We should be getting the cards very soon, as we already have their stats on site!
Finally, news from the CiRCLE Broadcast! Bandori Updates provides us with all the information for this segment. Battle Live Events will be the next type of event. Information on it isn't quite ready yet, but we do know it's multi-live focused and all of your members skills will proc in these lives! Free Lives will now have score rankings and new missions will accompany them. The previously announced SS Rank update will also see the addition of a master room. Finally, we will be able to recruit multi-live partners from private rooms if you have less than 5 members! All of these updates are subject to change and we have no information on their implementation. Sorry!
Merchandise & CD News
Previously it was announced that Bang Dream was collaborating with Lawson. Now they will collaborate with a smaller chain named Aeon! Purchasing certain goods will net you either a storage box or crinkled handkerchief. All the featured products are Kirin drinks, but only certain ones qualify for each good. This will run from 29 August to 29 September.
You can order Roselia goods that were sold at Anisama now. They only have a little bit of time left. Bandori Updates has more information! Also, since the 4th Miracle Live was held, you can also mail order Poppin'Party goods as well now.
This is a reminder that the magazine spread wallscroll featuring Hello, Happy World is still available through Dengeki. There also was an announcement for Pick-shaped can badges featuring all 25 members of GBP! You can preorder your set now. Blu-rays 6 and 7 have released their cover art and are available for preorder as well. BD7 will contain the OVA.
A birthday box for Arisa Ichigaya has been announced. Bandori Updates has more information on what's included in her set. If you're a fan, be sure to order this quick!
Finally, we will end this lengthy news post with some performance announcements! Poppin'Party has been invited to perform at Charaexpo in Singapore. Aimi (Kasumi) will also make an appearance with Kudoharu (Sayo) as Rummy Labyrinth, and Aiai (Yukina) will appear with Kudoharu as Roselia! The event takes place 10 September, and Bandori Updates has more information if you're interested in making it to see them!

The main goal of our April Fools hunt was to have fun and get cool badges
But the 2nd goal was to make you discover new features of Bandori Party you may not know!
A side effect for us was that we discovered some features were barely used because you guys didn't know about them.
With that in mind, we tried to find different ways to present them and we hope you'll find these more convenient and will start using these features.
As usual, we'd love to hear your feedback on the changes and let us know as well if there are other features that you find hard to see~
★ "Can't use Patreon?" button
Many of you assumed it was an external link, but it's actually just a button to show more options to donate!
I added a small arrow which I hope will make that more clear.
★ Alternative views for cards
Most people weren't aware that we were offering various ways to see cards.
I decided to move them directly in the navbar, with an arrow ↳ showing they're part of the cards.
The available alternative views were:
- Icons (quick add) -> This one didn't change
- Statistics -> Got a direct link in the navbar
- Art, Art trained and Transparent -> These were removed
- "Chibis" was an alternative view of costumes, because chibis are linked to costumes -> A direct link has been added in the navbar
★ Direct link to comics
Not a lot of people were visiting our comics gallery, and we think it's because it was hidden in the "Gallery" which you access from the "Girls Band Party" dropdown.
Comics may be from the game, but BanG Dream! fans who don't play the game may also be interested in reading them, so I added a direct link in the "BanG Dream!" dropdown.
Another possible reason why people don't read them much is that the last added show first, and they're all in Japanese. I've made it so by default, the comics are filtered by the language you speak. You can always use the side bar to select "all" if you want to see the comics in Japanese or other languages.
Once again, we'd love to hear your feedback on the changes and let us know as well if there are other features that you find hard to see!
