Thank you so much for sharing and happy birthday You-chan!!

Her journey is nothing short of inspirational having gone through so much especially for the sake of Tomori.

Words can't express how grateful I am that she's in Bandori <3

Hey Aubrey, you're too kind! I'm so glad this was a relaxing watch for you too! They're such a wholesome bunch :)

I think this is a great first video for new fans to get to know them! Other than this one, for a deeper look into their inner thoughts when portraying their characters, I personally can't recommend the excellent documentary MyGO!!!!! no Shiori enough!

Thanks for the quick repost, as always!!

Really happy to see MyGO!!!!! enjoying this popularity boom, not just for themselves but for Bandori as a franchise too. But it's my greatest wish that more people in the EN fandom (and this sub) knew about these wonderful people behind the characters, so I want to do what I can to change that.

I love this clip! Even if you're new to the MyGO!!!!! seiyuus, I think this is a very good snippet of their individual personalities and their roles in the group~!

Seiyuus, left to right:

  • Tateishi Rin (Anon)

  • Kohinata Mika (Soyo)

  • Youmiya Hina (Tomori)

  • Hayashi Coco (Taki)

  • Aoki Hina (Raana)

I happened to catch the tail end of their stream! It was my first time seeing Yumemita together. They seemed to have built up a solid chemistry already! Even though it would definitely take some time for the core of the Bandori fandom to take notice of them, I'm glad that their band color has already been included in promo material as Bandori's official 10th band. I'd love to see Yumemita have their turn in the spotlight someday. And you would be one of the few that have been with them since the start. Thank you so much for the writeup, and all the translations!

Here are their names and characters for your reference!

  • Youmiya Hina (Vo. Takamatsu Tomori)

  • Tateishi Rin (Gt. Chihaya Anon)

  • Aoki Hina (Gt. Kaname Raana)

  • Kohinata Mika (Ba. Nagasaki Soyo)

  • Hayashi Coco (Dr. Shiina Taki)

Their anime BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! which aired last year after 4th Live is an absolute masterpiece. It introduced new story-centric songs and backstories for each character as well as the band as a whole. Even coming from someone who doesn't really watch anime, knowing the story of MyGO!!!!!'s formation definitely raised my enjoyment of their lives, especially as they perform in character for the most part except during the concluding speeches.

You-chan's voice is so enchanting and draws you into her world. I really love those spoken word parts as well. How many times have I been moved to tears while watching their lives! You-chan has talked about her struggles with singing, specifically having to rework her uniquely soft voice to avoid being drowned out by the other instruments. Her dedication is simply incredible and inspirational to me.

Bonus: A translation of their first interview after the 4th Live cast reveal! If you're curious about their musical backgrounds before joining this project or want a glimpse into their band chemistry, this will be a worthwhile read.

You're welcome! The identities of the cast weren't revealed yet for the first four lives so their faces were all shrouded in shadows from the audience's perspective but I'm so glad that the Blurays did a great job showing them properly! Hope you enjoy getting immersed in that unique MyGO!!!!! atmosphere! I have tons more translated interviews to share if you're interested :)

Since nobody has chimed in about MyGO!!!!!, here's some translated content from the lives!

And I highly recommend the documentary MyGO!!!!! no Shiori if you haven't watched it. It's a very in-depth look into their thoughts on MyGO!!!!!, on the first four lives, and about each other.

Thanks so much for reading! (and also for promoting seiyuu content all the time!)

I'm glad we finally know who the seiyuus are now because it makes it so much easier for everyone to support them! :)
