On February 28th, the BanG Dream! 10th Anniversary LIVE "In the name of BanG Dream!" took place at the stunning K Arena Yokohama in Kanagawa. It was a proper spectacle, featuring a total of 10 bands and 50 cast members all performing on one stage.

A Decade of Music and Collaborations
This special performance was organised to mark the 10th anniversary of the BanG Dream! Project, which officially hit the ten-year mark on February 28, 2025. The energy in the arena was just something else. Each band brought their A-game, playing a mix of old classics that made everyone nostalgic and new hits that kept the crowd jumping. What really stole the show were the unique collaborations that no one saw coming. It was quite a treat to see Hello, Happy World! collaborating with Yume Gendai Mew Tape, while Pastel＊Palettes teamed up with Afterglow. Even Roselia had a special moment on stage with Ran Mitake from Afterglow, which really made the fans go wild.
The concert also touched upon the anime side of things. Near the end, CiRCLE THANKS PARTY! performed the iconic song "CiRCLE THANKS MUSiC♪" from the special BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! 5th Anniversary Animation -CiRCLE THANKS PARTY!-. Seeing the newer groups like MyGO!!!!!, Ave Mujica, and Yume Gendai Myutaipu perform alongside the veterans was a real "passing the torch" moment.
