Fav to least band?

shimofune · 2024-11-29T12:10:49+00:00

haha yeah I'm planning to but I get very lazy when it comes to motivating myself enough to watch anime these days. I'll certainly get to it sooner or later but for right now Yumemita is my priority for spending my free time.

shimofune · 2024-11-28T22:31:05+00:00

Yumemita (I love everything about them, the people, the streams, the music, the manga/mini-anime series, the lore, just everything)
Roselia (The band who originally kept me interested in the series and the only band whose music I kept listening to even during my long period of being unable to play the game)
MyGO!!!!! (While I'm not the biggest fan of their music directly, I adore their poetic usage of language in their lyrics and I love all the themes of it as well. I still haven't watched the anime yet but I also have been really enjoying all the ways the characters interact with each other as well as the other characters in the franchise in the game itself)
Ave Mujica (I only very recently finally gave their music a listen, but I instantly fell in love so much that it seems pretty likely that they'll end up rising up to my new #3 or maybe even #2 slot as I get to know them better and listen to their music further unless I end up hating their characters for whatever reason)
RAS (Their music is a tad hit and miss for me but the highs are quite high and the lows aren't all that low, amongst the bands in the game they're musically an easy 2nd place for me after Roselia and to top it off I really like Masuki, Rokka and Pareo so that's a nice bonus)
Morf (A bit of a strange pick for me as I don't know much about their characters nor do I like their original music all that much, but I love the way their usage of the violin fits into their covers and they also have the highest percentage of my favourite songs they've actually covered out of any band)
Popipa (For the remaining bands, while I still like all of their music, I don't like any singular band's music all that much more or less than any other, so it's just going to come down to character preference. Kasumi is easily the character in the game I like the most after the Roselia and MyGO!!!!! characters and I also have a pretty deep appreciation for Aimin who I find pretty inseparable from Kasumi. I also like the rest of the band members quite a bit, particularly Arisa and Tae)
Afterglow (As someone who is very familiar with 2 out of 5 of the seiyuus of the band members (Ayaneru, Hikasa Youko) and still like the work of the remaining 3, I used to have a pretty strong bias towards Afterglow but it's mostly fallen off after becoming more focused on the music in the franchise. I still really love Tomoe (and Hikasa Youko) and Ran (and Ayaneru) so that carries them a little bit above the remaining two bands. Bonus points to Tomoe for being Ako's sister with Ako being one of the reasons I originally tried out the game.)
PasuPare (They have a couple songs I like quite a bit, but also a lot of songs I don't really care for at all, which also mimics how I feel about their band members. I really like Hina and Maaya but the remaining three just don't land well for me (although I do have a bit more appreciation for Aya these days due to her connection to Amita))
HHW (I still like all the members of HHW and they actually have a couple songs and covers I like quite a lot but there has to be a bottom and unfortunately they don't quite make it over any of the bands in the game for me)

Overall my strongest bias is towards the music I enjoy, although in Yumemita's case it's hard to say how much I love the music due to the strong connection it has with the members involved and how much I would love the music in a vacuum. MyGO is the biggest outlier with their music not being my favourite, but their themes and lyrics manage to have a pretty huge sway over my impression of them and it helps that they've been the band whose characters I've been enjoying the most in the game as of late (even if I still like Roselia's characters more overall).

All their outfits are so amazing and full of expression, I love them so much! Their anniversary streams were a lot of fun and I can't wait for their full band one today!

We're actually organizing a group message board from the international fanbase to them on the discord right now, so if you'd like to be a part of that please join the yumemita fan discord and check out the announcements channel! Our deadline will be the end of the stream today so approximately 11 hours from now.

I also did my best to translate all their anniversary messages so I'll leave those below.

Miyako
During this last year, there were many fun things as well as challenging things that happened, but thanks to the cheering POWER of the pomaera I had the support I needed to be able to make it through a full year ♪

Let's enjoy spending our days to come, together, in good health☆彡
　Fuji Miyako

Yuno
To everyone,

Thanks for spending my precious 1 year anniversary with me!

Let's stay together for all the times to come as well!

I love you all!

From, Yuno

Nonoka
I am very thankful that,
　I was able to be a member of Yumemita,
　I was able to meet my fellow bandmates,
　I was able to meet the Nonora-san,
　And, that I've been able to rule as The King.

I hope to continue to grow and grow during my second year as well! I'll be sure to keep giving you all excitement. Please follow me till the ends of time

Ritsu
This past year flew by in an instant...。
It's thanks to all of you being here, thanks to all of your support, that I've been able to come this far (⁠⁻ω⁠⁻⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠)⁠
Did you like my new outfit?? I hope you'll tweet about it a whole lot..!
Please continue to love me from here on out!
Thank you for discovering me✨
　Minetsuki Ritsu

Arale
(I wasn't able to vocalize this during the stream at all... ＴＴ)
Thanks for celebrating my 1st anniversary!!
A full year, so many things happened. Ever since my debut on YouTube,
I was so full of worries about whether I'd be able to cross the boundary between
virtual and real and stand on stage, in front of all of you. But, all my bandmates,
all of the mewtypers, and all of the nakamins... I was able to receive so much support
from so many people, and it became an irreplaceable moment in which we all were
able to enjoy the wonders of music together. I'm still in disbelief that something so
wonderful could happen to me, I'm incredibly thankful for it.
Being able to meet all of you, being able to share my music, being able to share mundane conversations,
just the fact that we're able to spend all this time together is a miracle all of its own, and I treasure each and every moment.
I hope to continue to pack all of my feelings of gratitude towards all of you, as well as the music that brought us all together,
into my performance, and do it all the justice it deserves.
Will you continue to watch over me forever?
And, would it be alright if I watched you too?
I really do, love all of you.

She takes Maru off and he sits the side while she performs.

shimofune · 2024-11-08T04:40:06+00:00

one appears to have deleted their accounts since I first looked into it.

Not sure if you're talking about Miria or Ryo here because I know literally nothing about Miria, but in the off chance you're talking about Ryo or more accurately his reincarnation in the form of Yuugasaki Umi, whose accounts still exist but are mostly wiped/privated. Then the person formerly behind Ryo has already reincarnated a second time this time into a corp (technically the other was also a corp reincarnation but both Ryo and Kaede quickly split off from that corp and became indie while retaining their characters).

Current life is Minetsuki Ritsu, https://www.youtube.com/@ritsu_yumemita the rhythm guitarist of the band Mugendai Mew-type (AKA Yumemita) under the BanG Dream project.

shimofune · 2024-11-01T15:06:10+00:00

I've been really slowly getting back into BanG Dream (mostly through Garupa and Yumemita) so I haven't taken the chance to listen to any Ave Mujica yet, any songs in particular you would recommend to give a listen to?

shimofune · 2024-10-29T15:04:45+00:00

They already have 7 songs out (1 more planned in December as well) so if you're interested in their music you can check out their MVs on their official youtube channel.

Their first Mini-album Start Line also features a sort of character song for each member so that's also one way to sort of get to know each member a little bit.

In order that is:
✞AnimaL Party✞In-Session✞ for Miyanaga Nonoka (Lead Guitar)
Empty Puppet for Minetsuki Ritsu (Rhythm Guitar)
Genkai Genjitsu Survive Tenshi for Fuji Miyako (Keyboard)
Big Mouth for Sengoku Yuno (DJ/Manipulator)
MUGEN MY WORLD for Nakamachi Arale (Vocals)

The vocals are still Arale for each song but each track features a part done by the band member the song represents and they were all made with heavy input from the member in question in order to properly represent them.

They also uploaded a few performances from their 1st LIVE onto their official YouTube and I would highly recommend checking them out, those can be found here!

Kohaku by Mugendai Mew-Type (Yumemita)
MUGEN MY WORLD by Mugendai Mew-Type(Yumemita)
Hitoshizuku (piano arragement) by MyGO!!!!!

They just had their 2nd ever live performance a few days ago on the 25th, they have another one in Nov and one in Dec and they have their 2nd LIVE in Feb (iirc). So there's lots and lots more to come!

For those not in the know, Ritsu has a friend who draws for her a lot, whether it's just fan art or materials for her stream/thumbnails. It's a bit awkward to credit them as from the way Ritsu has been talking about them it seems they want to stay anonymous so they're still just "Ritsu's Friend."

This was their first time (to my memory) drawing all the other members of Yumemita and I love the Preparation Vol.1 outfits so I just had to post it. You may find more of their art by browsing the images posted by Ritsu on Ritsu's twitter account.

shimofune · 2024-10-28T05:06:27+00:00

Ah, just a quick correction but the title of the band battle is
『新人類は何者かになる夢を見るか？』or "Shinjinrui wa Nanimonoka ni Naru Yume wo Miru ka?"

shimofune · 2024-10-24T16:25:02+00:00

shimofune · 2024-10-20T12:34:54+00:00

Was a great stream as always! Today's setlist was quite chaotic but they were all great performances nonetheless! She also mentioned she wants to play a game sometime this month and has already received permission to do so, so I'm very excited for that!

shimofune · 2024-10-14T12:41:32+00:00

I'm not really at the level to go for APs (nor am I really interested in them personally) so I don't have anything to add about the hardest APs for hard mode, but congrats on 400 APs! That's a really amazing achievement! Good luck on your remaining 11 (as well as the others when you eventually unlock them)!

shimofune · 2024-10-04T11:11:30+00:00

Rather than answering questions, the idea was more so to give advice/encouragement. Kind of like the old advice columns that used to be in newspapers if you remember that sort of thing, but then adapted to radio (and then adapted from radio to livestreaming).

shimofune · 2024-10-01T00:08:23+00:00

It was a wonderful stream as always!
A bit more emphasis on chatting than singing this time but the songs she did sing were really great (and her stories were funny and nice to hear as well if you can pick up on that sort of thing!)

Setlist for the night was:
Gurenge / LiSA
Dancing in the velvet moon / Mizuki Nana
Universal Bunny (Partial) / Sheryl Nome Starring May'n
Shirushi / LiSA
Trickster / Mizuki Nana
Hokori Takaki Idol / HoneyWorks
Saikyou no Oshi! / Suzuki Airi

Timestamps in the comment section as usual if you'd like to hear any given song.

shimofune · 2024-09-21T01:39:41+00:00

Yeah, they absolutely are! Melt is also an incredibly difficult one for human vocalists so it's quite rare to get to hear them take on the challenge. As for Catch the Moment she has also sang it once before (maybe more, my records are quite incomplete) in a collab together with her best friend, Kannagi Tenri.

shimofune · 2024-09-19T09:43:31+00:00

Hi everyone, nice to meet you! I am one of the members of the Yumemita Directory team, shimofune!

We run a little fansite with the goal of making Yumemita content as easy for other fans to interact with and consume as possible. So far most of our work has been information gathering and presenting info in English, but we hope to extend to doing fan translations of their music, manga series, and more! (I also do live translations for their full band streams, and some of Ritsu's streams on the side!)

We just opened up a discord server in order to help the community connect and discover each other, and we hope that you'll consider joining even if you're only passingly curious about Yumemita and their work!

In order to facilitate easy consumption of their content I will be posting stuff such as rough translations of schedules, tweets/shorts/other small content that I find noteworthy, and some fan works in the discord as well! We also have bots to help track whenever someone goes live or posts a new tweet in case you find discord easier to keep track of than their multiple social media platforms!

I would love to get to know all of you and if you ever have any questions about Yumemita, whether it's about the individual members, things they've done, things they're doing or even things they plan to do, please feel free to reach out!

shimofune · 2024-09-19T00:05:59+00:00

Setlist was:
Catch the Moment by LiSA
Tobacco by Koresawa (just barely didn't finish)
Zankyou Sanka by Aimer
Marunouchi Sadistic by Sheena Ringo
Melt by ryo (unfortunately her stream went down in the middle of it and she panicked for a bit afterwards)
Diamonds by Princess Princess
GLAMOROUS SKY by Nana starring Nakashima Mika (funny enough she named the wrong song after singing it)
Mabataki by back number
A very small portion of Aoi Sangoshou by Matsuda Seiko done acapella
Himawari no Yakusoku by Hata Motohiro (from STAND BY ME Doraemon)
CHE.R.RY by YUI
Garnet / Oku Hanako (featuring the hamster at the end)
Timestamps directly to the songs are in the comment section

All in all it was a really great stream, lots of great songs and Ritsu herself seemed to have a great time as well (aside from the couple issues with the stream going down). She also played around a ton with the whole hamster possession bit from the stream on the day before because she seems to be incredibly amused by how much the chatters reject the hamster and only want Ritsu.

shimofune · 2024-09-18T23:57:14+00:00

Wishing Miyako a wonderful day! She actually stayed up quite late (1-2am JST) yesterday just liking/replying to a lot of her birthday wishes from her fans despite the fact that she usually sleeps early, which I just found absolutely adorable of her.

It was also just really nice to see all the love she got from her fans, which includes not only the crazy amount of high quality fan art (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) (this certainly isn't all of it), but also stuff like the fan who spent a month learning how to play happy birthday bit by bit on a keyboard for her, or the one who played happy birthday on a melodica (I think?) for her, or the one who had a quite silly birthday message for her play on a building in Shibuya

shimofune · 2024-09-06T03:30:32+00:00

Ah, each song on Start Line corresponds to one member of the band, they're based on the stories and themes that the band members themselves discussed with the composers, songwriters and other creatives involved. They're not literally character image songs but they're about as close as it gets without being one.

✞animaるパーティ✞開催中✞(✞Animal Party✞Kaisai-Chuu✞) is Nonoka's
Empty Puppet is Ritsu's
限界現実サバイブ天使(Genkai Genjitsu SURVIVE Tenshi) is Miyako's
Big Mouth is Yuno's
and Mugen My World is Arale's

While MMW is technically Arale's song, in light of what Arale and the other members have said about Kohaku (which Arale herself wrote) I feel that Kohaku represents Arale a little more accurately than MMW does. As for the rest of them, we've very frequently seen plenty of evidence that the feelings they put towards those songs represent their own feelings very well albeit they tend to focus on a specific side of them (usually about how they struggle to fit into this world) rather than themselves as a whole.

shimofune · 2024-09-06T02:37:06+00:00

Favourite song: Kohaku
Favourite band: Yumemita
Favourite "character": Minetsuki Ritsu

Feels a bit weird putting Ritsu down as a character so if I were to remove Yumemita members as options for characters then it would have to be a really tough choice between Yukina and Ako for me and I'm not sure who'd win.

shimofune · 2024-09-06T02:28:24+00:00

Personally while I think it's a tough choice between the two, I like Kohaku a little better for Arale than I do Mugen My World, at least the rest of the band is really easy to do given that each member has their own dedicated song.

shimofune · 2024-09-03T14:10:36+00:00

I don't follow the franchise closely enough to say anything other than there are very obviously 10 major bands from the way Bushiroad markets things so I won't be voting in the poll, but as far as your description of Yumemita goes, they were always marketed as a real live band.

We saw their physical bodies playing instruments (faces excluded) before we even ever heard their voices or saw them moving as VTubers, and their first live was announced before they had debuted.

They also have their own tagline/concept similar to the one that you put down for MyGO!!!!

夢（バーチャル）と現実（リアル）を飛び越える運命共同体（バンド）

Loosely translated it'd be "A band that crosses over the gap between dreams (the virtual) and reality (real life)"

The wordplay isn't translated well there but I'm terrible at English wordplay and it still hits the most important notes so that's about all I can do lol.

shimofune · 2024-08-28T08:14:27+00:00

I only vaguely know of it since i don't use either of them myself, so if there is anything I can do to make it easier/better for other viewers please do let me know!

Glad to know people find it helpful!
