We only took a few days to turn the proposal into a project”. It was a rare case with no proposal documents.

For favorite scenes, Mimura answered, “Because we could produce the concert scenes in full length, compared to the TV series, we were able to depict character's charms which could not be shown in the anime”.

CEO Kitani mentioned the stage background as his favorite scene. He praised it that it was “made with a quality equal to recreating the actual background of 'BanG Dream!” concerts”, and continued by saying, “The actors with a nice relationship make the project successful, and I believe this live could be successful because the actors in 'BanG Dream! FILM LIVE' had a wonderful relationship, too”.
