Ave Mujica Unveils Visually Stunning "Sophie" Music Video Ahead of Major Live Tour

The musical group Ave Mujica, originating from the extensive BanG Dream! franchise, has released its newest visual presentation: the music video for the song "Sophie." This release occurred on December 9, 2025. The track is featured prominently on their upcoming third single, 'S/' The Way, which is scheduled for commercial release the following day, December 10, 2025.

Since their formal introduction in 2023, which coincided with the narrative of the "Ave Mujica: The Die Is Cast" anime, the ensemble has quickly established a significant presence in both the music industry and animation sectors. Their initial impact was noted with the debut single, "Black Birthday," released earlier in 2023, which helped cultivate their current fanbase.

Production and Visuals

The production quality of the "Sophie" music video is notable, having been managed by SIGNIF Inc. The direction is credited to Kosuke Tsukagawa, with detailed CG design provided by Alessandro Asnaghi and Akari Kumagai. This new visual content follows previous successful releases, including "Killkiss," which served as the opening theme for their self titled anime series. Further anticipation is generated by confirmed future animated projects, specifically a sequel to the "Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast –" anime and an anticipated feature film dedicated entirely to the group.

Upcoming Live Performances and Tours

Ave Mujica is scheduled to perform at the BanG Dream! 10th Anniversary LIVE event, commemorating a decade of the franchise. In addition to this major appearance, the group has confirmed a joint live performance with MyGO!!!!! on March 1, 2026, at the K Arena Yokohama. This event will precede a comprehensive nationwide tour planned for April and May 2026. The tour itinerary includes stops at major Japanese venues such as Zepp Fukuoka, Zepp Namba, Zepp Nagoya, and Zepp Haneda in Tokyo. These confirmed activities underscore Ave Mujica's increasing visibility within the J-pop and anime communities.

The trajectory of Ave Mujica is situated within the broader context of Bushiroad’s BanG Dream! project, which commenced in 2015 with its anime adaptation gaining traction since 2017. The group's development reflects the franchise's sustained success in integrating animated narratives with high caliber live musical presentations. The "Sophie" video serves as a demonstration of the band's artistic progression and offers a preview of the expanding lore within the established BanG Dream! continuity.
