BanG Dream is a current TV anime about high school girls making
a band.. I think.  I'm way behind on watching this.
But there is going to be a smartphone game for this too,
probably similar to Love Live and Cinderella Girls.
It's supposed to come out later this month.

Bushiroad is promoting this title very much, so I think they
want it to be the next Love Live or Idolmaster..

There is one main group of 5 girls for the band, called Poppin' Party,
but it seems there will be some other guest bands in the game.
They had an event to announce the seiyuu for the other bands
a couple weeks ago.

A few big name seiyuu were included.. and even Hata Sawako was
in one of the bands.  So I guess I'll have to play this game too.

The event for the announcement was broadcast on Abema TV,
an internet TV station, so I was able to watch it.
A simple report..
