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!

Bandori.News Round Up! vol. 10

Welcome to the Bi-Weekly round-up! Our new banner has a chibi from artist Brella, who also did the full art for the mascot. Remember to submit name ideas by 15 September!

Game News

Following the announcement and close of the last event, The Name of the Rose That Blooms in Eden/ Performance of Red & Blue, our first Hello, Happy World event in some time was announced! The event will be a challenge live format, featuring 3 Star Kokoro and 2 Star Kaoru. The Gacha will be "Misaki in da House!" featuring the cool 4 star Misaki/Michelle, Kanon and Hagumi. It begins at 3PM JST!

As for in game content over the last 2 weeks, it has been fairly slow due to the implementation of version 1.8 of the game coming after the end of our Pure event! There were a ton of updates to the game, and Bangdreaming has you covered with all the details. If you need some extra help, you can always reach us via DM on twitter and we can try to help!

Story 18 was added to the Main story chapters. Rank 44 is required to view as well as having viewed all previous stories! There wasn't a song included with this chapter, but we did get to have "Time Lapse" added to our music catalogue!

Several campaigns were ran over the last two weeks. The first being Lawson's, where we were successful and will receive 3x Premium EXP Tickets, 1x Premium Skill Ticket, and a single Michelle Monaca for 10k RTs! We also saw a special campaign to recieve 35x each large jewel, coins, a premium EXP ticket, and our very first Star Gacha Ticket!!! If you haven't been diligent, you can try and collect everything by 17 September. This also goes for the Summer outfits if you haven't claimed all of them either! You get 50 Stars when you claim a log in bonus with these, so catch up!

Garupa will be represented at Tokyo Gameshow 2017 on 24 September! A special broadcast of HHW@CiRCLE will be held in commemoration! Every member of Hello, Happy World will be there! (Well, except for the ever elusive Misaki..) Please be sure to tune in! Details available here.

Also, if you haven't heard yet, it looks like Garupa will be headed for the English market! Confirmed at Charaexpo with various flyers and advertisements, we can expect the game in 2018 Spring (March-May 2018 for those in Australia).

Live/Event News

More details were released for Roselia's second live, "ZEIT". Bandori Updates brings up the key visual and directed us for live viewing opportunities in Japan.

More details on Garuparty in Osaka have been revealed to us from Bandori Updates! There will be tons of live attractions like a Michelle mascot available for photo ops, and attendees can even snag a Michelle mask! A bunch of the voice actors have made their schedules open to visit the event, so if you can make it 29 October, please do!

Merchandise News

Afterglow released their first single this past week, and could not make it over the top 10 hump in sales to snag us in game costumes. You can still get a copy of the CD if you'd like! Many people are still receiving first press bonuses!

Band scores for "Mae e Susume!/Yumemiru Sunflower" have been made available for purchase, thank you for the information, Bandori updates!

Garupacafe has closed its doors! However, if you have a friend in Japan or can use a proxy service, you can order goods online until 22 September.

And finally, our last bit of news are the new items available at Lawson as apart of the collab campaign. Clearfiles and keychains are in stock for limited time!

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!
