The next chapter of Bandori’s rhythm franchise just crossed a major milestone: BanG Dream! Our Notes has surpassed 1 million global pre-registrations, and the closed beta launches tomorrow, 6 August, on iOS and Android. If you’ve been following the game’s steady climb — 300K in late June, 500K in early July, 800K by the 21st — the seven-digit mark arriving right as the beta opens is a signal that the community is very much ready.

BanG Dream! Our Notes Pre-Registration Rewards: 1 Million Milestone Unlocked

Hitting 1 million pre-registrations unlocks the biggest reward yet: the Season 1 “Mission Pass” will be free for all players at launch. That stacks on top of every cumulative milestone already cleared:

• 4,000 Stars — enough for roughly 20 gacha pulls
• Pre-registration Exclusive Chat Style Set
• 3 Song Tickets
• 1 SR+ Guaranteed Gacha Ticket
• 1 SNAPSHOT Card featuring the new key visual
• 3 BanG Dream! anime logo sticker designs

All rewards will be distributed after the official global launch. Pre-registration remains open — anyone who signs up before launch still locks in the full pile. The game is published globally by bilibili game in partnership with Bushiroad, the IP holder; follow @bangdreamon_EN on X for the latest milestone updates.

GEKISO LIVE: What the New Rhythm System Actually Does

Our Notes is not just a reskin of previous Bandori games. The flagship mechanic is GEKISO LIVE — a redesigned rhythm system that introduces dynamic combo chains, tighter timing windows, and gameplay twists that keep charts from feeling static. The showpiece feature is real-time co-play for up to five performers: you and up to four friends can share one stage simultaneously, each playing their own lane and contributing to a shared live score. It’s a meaningful step beyond the asynchronous multiplayer that defined earlier BanG Dream! titles.

For players new to the franchise, an ASSIST MODE handles the trickier note patterns automatically so you can enjoy the story and music without stressing over chart difficulty.

Five Bands, 25 Characters — MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica Included

Our Notes brings together five girl bands spanning 25 playable characters, with all story content fully voiced:

• MyGO!!!!! — the breakout band from the 2023 anime, back with new chapters
• Ave Mujica — gothic and theatrical, their Our Notes arc picks up where the anime left off
• Mugendai MewType — the fan-favourite energy band returning from recent BanG Dream! titles
• millsage — a new band making their debut in Our Notes
• Ikka Dumb Rock! — the second new group, leaning into a raw rock sound

The music library spans original songs composed for Our Notes alongside legacy tracks from across the BanG Dream! catalogue. Singapore fans who’ve been collecting every MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica song since the anime will find a lot to dig into here from day one.

Closed Beta: How to Join on 6 August
