The movie “BanG Dream! Episode of Roselia I: Yakusoku", will be released on April 23 (Fri). An advance screening of which was held at Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro on April 7 (Wed) for the media and related parties. On the stage were Roselia members Aiina Aiba who plays Minato Yukina, Kudo Haruka who plays Hikawa Sayo, Nakajima Yuki who plays Imai Lisa, Sakuragawa Megu who plays Udagawa Ako, and Shizaki Kanon who plays Shirakane Rinko, as well as general director Kakimoto Koudai and director Mimura Atsushi. After the movie screening, they talked about the scenes they recommended and the story behind the production. Summary of the movie version Are you ready to bet everything on Roselia? Minato Yukina decides to form a band in order to participate in the "Fes" festival. The band members gather around her with their own thoughts and feelings. The five aim to reach new heights as Roselia at ... This is the story of their "promise" from their formation to their participation in the Future World Fes. Stories of hardships unique to this film told in the stage greetings “BanG Dream! Episode of Roselia I: The Promise" focuses on the popular group "Roselia" from "BanG Dream!" and depicts the secret story of their formation. The girls started their activities as a voice acting unit in 2016, and while most of the members had never touched an instrument in the beginning, they struggled to practice for about six months. Sakuragawa Megu, who took the stage to give a speech after the advance screening, looked back on that time as follows. “At "Poppin''Party's 3rd live "BanG Dream! 3rd☆LIVE Sparklin'' PARTY 2017!", I gave a surprise performance as a secret guest. Performing on that stage, which was our full-fledged debut, was our first big hurdle.” This work exactly coincides with that time and is a story about the formation of a band. Therefore, during the recording, it was necessary to reset the parts that had grown in the app game version and TV anime version. Kudo Haruka said, "Going back to my roots, I felt nostalgic when I saw the scenario, but I also tried to start from scratch.” Aiba Aina also revealed that she was instructed by the staff to "not show that much" of the character's growth, which she said made a deep impression on her. The most recommended scene is the spectacular live stage. Since this was a theatrical version of the film, they were particular about the camera work, lighting, and other aspects of the production. One of the songs in particular was very memorable for Sanzigen, the animation production company, and director Mimura said, "I was deeply moved by it.” Aiba-san was also in charge of the choreography for the motion capture of the live scene, and General Director Kakimoto told the story behind the scenes, "I cut the storyboard after the capture came in. Among the body parts, I was conscious of using parts that showed facial expressions as much as possible, such as close-ups of the hands.” Notable points picked up by the members Shizaki Kanon pointed out the growth of Shirogane Rinko, who she plays. In the beginning, she is too shy to speak well, but through the story, she takes a big step forward. “I'd like you to pay attention to that part of her performance where she is attracted to Udagawa Ako and grows up.” The same goes for Kudo Haruka, who wants us to pay attention to the growth of her own character. She is so stoic that at first she is very hard on her friends, but through Roselia she is able to bring them closer together. Sakuragawa Megu reminisced about the scene where Akiko Udagawa's fingers were covered with adhesive plasters due to over-practicing, because she had actually experienced the scars caused by the "wisps" on her drumsticks. On this point, General Director Kakimoto revealed that he heard Sakuragawa Megu's injury story from the staff and reflected it in this film. In addition, the film seems to reflect the actual experiences and research of the members, such as the inclusion of "a certain drummer" who peels off her bandage just before a performance. Nakajima Yuki said that she wanted the audience to pay attention to Imai Lisa’s nails. As she joins the band and becomes more active, her nails seem to change. ...... Aiba Aina also said that there are hidden points of interest in the small details of the screen. Where in the world will the members meet?　This is a scene that could only be depicted in the movie. Please come to the theater to find out. The film is a two-part series. The first one, "Episode of Roselia I: Promise" will be released on April 23 (Fri.). The second film, "Episode of Roselia II: Song I am." will be released on June 25 (Fri). （Ｃ）BanG Dream! Project ©Craft Egg Inc. （Ｃ）bushiroad All Rights Reserved.

Takagaki Yoshiaki of Sumzap, Tabuchi Hiroki of BlasTrain, a group company of Drecom, and Nakayama Masahiro of Bushiroad took the stage at the announcement of the new project, which was broadcast live on the official Bushiroad YouTube channel on March 16. Matsuzawa Chiaki Matsuzawa was in charge of moderating the event. Suganuma Hisayoshi, Sakura Kaoru, Azegami Yohei, Itou Ayasa, Kouno Marika, and official cosplayers Enako and Shinozaki Kokoro appeared as guests from the project and announced the game development and TV anime project that will start together this summer. A story of "nightmares" starting from a bizarre incident The first thing that was shown on the screen was the PV of the project. It depicted a refreshing summer scenery, boys and girls observing celestial bodies, and calm, uneventful days ....... It's a nostalgic and relaxing scene. But the next moment, the situation changes dramatically: a TV broadcast announcing the discovery of a headless corpse in a bamboo grove, what looks like an execution tool covered in blood, and a huge, glaring shadow appears! The keywords of this film are "Cthulhu Mythos" and "Nostalgia". The story follows the fate of "Weird", a being who sold his soul to an evil god to escape his troubles and became a demon, and "Knocker Up", a group of people who fight Weird because they have awakened the power to destroy nightmares. Incidentally, "knocker-up" is a profession that existed in Europe during the Industrial Revolution, and refers to a person who makes wake-up calls. The name was chosen because it fits the main characters of the game. The following is a synopsis of the game version and the anime version. Synopsis of the game version Crush the nightmare "Weird" that invades reality! The blue ocean and untouched nature of Yura Island. In the midst of his school life, Furukata Rando, a high school student at Wadatsumi Gakuen, becomes involved in a horrific and unusual case involving a strange death. Then, Rando is chosen as a "knocker-up", a person who travels between the world of dreams and reality, and enters a nightmare that he will never be awakened from...... (Synopsis of the anime version) The story takes place in Shibuya. When he was in elementary school, his older brother was a kind and admired figure. After witnessing his brother's mysterious death, Ryuhei is now a lively high school student who doesn't seem to feel the nightmare around him. One day, while kickboxing, he is bitten by a mysterious creature, Tris, and has an unusual dream. As the rumored drop flies through the darkness, he confronts his twisted desires. What does he see beyond that? ...... As the story unfolds from the same worldview, the characters from the game version and the anime version will appear in both stories. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops. Project theme by "Tokyo Incidents". Up-and-coming illustrator Kukka is in charge of the character design for this game. His nostalgic view of the world is very fantastic, and he has released an art book in October 2020. The story and character concept design was done by Satomi Tadashi, known for his work on "Persona: The Goddess of Mystery" and "Caligula". He has been working on a deep worldview and a theme without good and evil, and was chosen for this project because his work is a perfect match. Tokyo Jihen was in charge of the project's theme song, "Beast's Reason". The production team on stage praised the song, saying that it fit the image of the work. It was also announced that "Gunsei Hiwa", "Killer Tune", "Shinsei Ningen", "Senko Shoujo", "Sora ga Narutteiru", "Ochitsu", and "Shuraba", all sung by Tokyo Incidents, would be used as insert songs in the game. A beautiful rose has a thorn in its side: ....... Characters that look peculiar The main cast of the game version had already recorded the first half of the game, and the main cast of the anime version had already finished recording all the episodes, so they told us about the characters they were in charge of. The main character of the game version, Furukata Rando, played by Suganuma Hisayoshi, is a second-year high school student with a timid personality. When he meets "Tenkai Eru", who will be introduced next, he awakens into a knocker-upper and gets involved in the battle against Weird. Suganuma Hisayoshi said that he feels sympathy for this character because he is the same type of person. He says that although he is timid, he is a boy who can take a step forward for his friends. Tenkai Eru, played by Sakura Kaoru, is a cool and clever expert who has been fighting as a knocker-upper since before the story began. She is a second-year high school student who has transferred to Wadatsumi Academy, and in real life she is noticeably naive and goofy. According to Sakura Kaoru, this character is the type of person who will go it alone to reach their goals. She says that she threw herself into battle for a reason. ......? The other characters are also full of personalities. According to Suganuma Hisayoshi, the female characters are mainly of the "beautiful roses that have thorns" type and will hurt you if you treat them in a carefree mood. The game is said to be a turn-based command battle, with the adventure part advancing the story. We look forward to the announcement of other systems in the future. Pre-orders are currently underway. The main character of the anime version is Oda Ryuhei, played by Azagami Yohei. He is a second-year student at a high school in Tokyo, with a strong sense of justice, and his body takes action before his thoughts. According to Azegami Yohei, this character is a martial artist, but surprisingly, he thinks things through. The character's appearance and the gap between his appearance and his inner self are appealing. Mouri Reina, played by Itou Ayasa, is a second-year student at a high school in Tokyo. She is a so-called "gal" and an influencer with tens of thousands of followers on the popular SNS "Kawasuta". About this character, Itou Ayasa says that she is a "surprisingly solid person" who fights to protect everyone. In the future, she wants to become a manicurist. The special weapons handled by Knocker Up are the embodiment of their owners' identities. For this reason, Mouri Reina's weapon is also based on a nail polish motif, and is decorated with a nail polish bottle. Ibusaki Eri, played by Kouno Marika, is a cool and serious second-year student at a high school in Tokyo. She has excellent grades and her father is an executive of the National Police Agency. According to Kouno Marika, Ibusaki Eri is a character who grew up in a strict family and has lived her life by suppressing herself. This work is about her inner problems, social issues, and the "can this really be broadcast?" aspect, so we can expect a dramatic story. In addition, there will be more mysterious characters in the film. The main visual also depicts a whale flying in the sky of Shibuya, so this is a work to keep an eye on along with its world view.

In this report, we will convey the latest information, such as world view setting, music information, goods development, and other announced details. PV debut! The presentation started with the screening anime PV. "On that day, when I lost everything..." The PV, which begins with the narration of the main character "Yukimura Sakiha" played by Suzuko Mimori, a young girl staring at the "marauder" is projected behind the flames of Guren. And it becomes clear that is aiming for revenge. The next scene was "Meiji 64". "Another Japan" where the Tokugawa Shogunate was not destroyed in the Meiji Restoration and Tokugawa Yoshinobu kept his power. It developed as a glittering metropolis that fused modern science with the culture of the Meiji era. A monorail-shaped vehicle in a high-rise building with a beautiful night view. And a frog-like wriggling monster... It seems that each thought is intertwined and becomes a big "swell" to move the gear of fate in the intense action and human drama that unfold in a unique world. The PV is currently available on the official "Jouran" YouTube channel. [Broadcast/Streaming Information] NTV April 6, 2021 ~ Every Wednesday 01:29 A.M. BS Nippon Television April 7, 2021 ~ Every Wednesday 00:00 A.M. CS Nippon Teleplus April 13, 2021 ~ Every Tuesday 00:30 A.M. On Hulu all episodes will be one week in advance * Overseas broadcast is also announced A beautiful woman "Yukimura Sakiha" becomes the assassin of the dark organization "Nue", which belonged to the Tokugawa government. The next announcement was about the world view and the main characters. This work is a story set in 1884, which was developed through science and the theory of Yin and Yang. In this world, the battles between the dissident organization Kuchinawa, which aims to overthrow the government, and the dark organization "Nue", which was entrusted with the extermination of Kuchinawa, unfold in the darkness of the city. Mimori Suzuko plays Yukimura Saki, who has a double life of the owner of an antiquarian bookstore in daily life, but and is the assassin who belongs to Nue at night. She belongs to the "blue-blooded clan" with special powers, but her parents were murdered by the Kuchinawa chief "Janome" when she was a kid, so now she becomes a revenger looking for a Janome. According to Mimori-san, it was such a difficult role that she put every effort as if she had worn away her life, and at the end of the recording, she was always doubting, "Was it good?" Tsukishiro Makoto, played by Aoi Shouta, is a beautiful woman dressed as a man. She is usually a bandoneon player, but she is also an assassin of Kuchinawa. She is good at deceiving people and never shows her true intentions. Aoi-san commented that he was expected to understand Tsukishiro's feelings because he often plays a female character. Her sense of mission was renewed. Hanafu Elena, played by Raychell-san, is an assassin of "Nue" who is a well-known novelist and also a prostitute. She is an emotional, annoying, hedonist who is loyal to her desires. Raychell-san's first impression of Elena was just "sexy," and she was wondering how she should act. She seems to be enjoying dubbing while receiving the advice of her performance. Nakamura Asayo, played by Itou Ayasa, is a 7-year-old girl. Although Yukimura Sakiha killed her parents, she is an innocent child who is protected by Yukimura and lives with her. She is a solid person who handles both storekeeping and housework, and she is a unique person whose "world in which she lives" is different from the members of other assassins so far. Itou-san explained that for that purpose director told her to be "innocent" one. Hitoshi Kuzuhara, played by Chikahiro Kobayashi, is a person who "exists to protect Tokugawa Yoshinobu." He is the chief of "Nue" and has darkness in himself, but according to Kobayashi-san, he will be spoiled if he thrusts further. It seems that every character has various things, and it is curious about the human drama around that. Music & Goods information The rock band "RAISE A SUILEN" of which Raychell is part of, is in charge of the opening theme song and ending theme. Both songs were written for "Joran" and have a sound that combines Japanese classic music and rock. Both normal and limited edition CD will be released on April 21.
