BanG Dream! Our Notes is the next mobile rhythm game in the Bandori franchise, and you can lock in your spot before it launches globally later in 2026. Pre-registration is open right now, and a closed beta test gives players an early look at the gameplay before the full release. The game opens with MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica before bringing three more bands into the story.

Quick answer: Pre-register for BanG Dream! Our Notes now on the official pre-registration page, the App Store, or Google Play. The first closed beta test begins on August 6, 2026, and you can apply through a short questionnaire on the game’s website.


How to pre-register for BanG Dream! Our Notes

Pre-registration is handled through three channels, and any one of them counts toward your sign-up. You only need to register through a single channel.

Open the official pre-registration page and follow the prompts to confirm your sign-up.
Alternatively, find BanG Dream! Our Notes on the App Store or Google Play and tap the pre-order or pre-register option so the game downloads automatically at launch.

Registering also enters you into a prize draw for physical merchandise, so it is worth completing even if you only plan to try the game casually.

Pre-registration rewards

The headline reward is tied to a community milestone. Once the game reaches 500,000 pre-registrations, every player gets enough in-game currency for 20 gacha pulls at launch. This is a shared goal, so the reward unlocks for everyone if the total is met.

Closed beta test date and how to join

What BanG Dream! Our Notes includes

The game brings together five girl bands and a total of 25 characters. The story starts with MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica, then expands into a multi-route narrative as the other groups take the stage. Two of the five bands are brand new to the franchise.

Like BanG Dream! Girls Band Party before it, Our Notes blends rhythm gameplay with fully voiced, visual novel-style storytelling and illustrated gacha cards. There is also a new mode called Gekiso Live, which mixes combo chains, timing accuracy, and gameplay twists. The soundtrack pairs new original songs with tracks from the anime, and band-exclusive chapters add animated performances and everyday scenes.


Platforms, price, and release window

BanG Dream! Our Notes is a free-to-play title coming to Android and iOS globally. It launches with English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean language support. The game is developed by FROMTOKYO, a studio made up largely of former Craft Egg staff, with bilibili game handling global publishing.

Release window2026, expected in the second half of the year

No exact global launch date beyond 2026 has been confirmed yet, and the second-half timing is an expectation rather than an official date. For now, pre-registering and applying for the August 6 closed beta are the two concrete steps you can take, and both keep you in line for the rewards and early access as the launch approaches.
