'BanG Dream! 3rd LIVE Sparklin' PARTY 2017' Event Report

The tickets for BanG Dream! 3rd LIVE Sparklin’ PARTY 2017! sold out the moment they were released, and we have an exclusive event report for you guys that couldn’t go!

This event was the first concert held after BanG Dream!’s anime adaptation went on-air, and the dome was filled with 2,500 fans. The five members of Poppin’Party performed many songs for the fans, including BanG Dream!’s original songs, famous anime theme song covers, acoustic songs, and many more! On top of this, they performed the TV anime’s opening theme Tokimeki Experience! (Heart-Pounding Experience!) and ending theme Kirakira datoka Yume datoka ~Sing Girls~ (Sparkling and Dreaming ~Sing Girls~) for the first time.

During one of the sessions of the event, it was announced that BanG Dream!’s 4th concert will be held at Nippon Budokan, and that the anime-adaptation’s Original Animation Video will be released in the near future! We can’t miss any of Bang Dream! and Poppin’Party’s up-coming news!

Also, a smartphone game titled BanG Dream! Girls’ Band Party! will be released this spring. To commemorate this, the all-female band in the game, Roselia, came up on the stage as a surprise! Just like Poppin’Party, the members of Roselia were voice actresses who perform their songs live, and they energetically played three songs for the fans: Tamashii no Refrain (Soul’s Refrain), Hacking to the Gate, and their original song BLACK SHOUT.
