The vibrant world of BanG Dream! is set to expand dramatically with the official announcement of a new cinematic venture, 'Ave Mujica - The Die is Cast' movie. Revealed during the highly anticipated BanG Dream! Summer Presentation 2025, this feature film promises to be a standalone masterpiece, meticulously crafted to enrich the franchise's lore without directly overlapping with the ongoing television sequel series.

Ave Mujica, the enigmatic five-member band first introduced in the thirteenth episode of 'It's MyGO!!!!!', has captivated audiences since their debut. Their meteoric rise in popularity has undeniably paved the way for this exciting cinematic adaptation. Fans will recall the original 'Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast' anime, which aired 13 episodes from January to March 2025, picking up the story threads from the critically acclaimed 2023 TV series 'It's MyGO!!!!!'.

Beyond the silver screen, the BanG Dream! universe continues its prolific expansion, with a second sequel television series also confirmed to be in active production. Adding to the fervor, the movie announcement was accompanied by a slate of electrifying live performance dates. Ave Mujica's 6th Live “Ulterius Procedere” is slated for December 14, 2025, in Tokyo, followed by another performance on January 15, 2026, in Osaka. A groundbreaking two-man live event, uniting the forces of Ave Mujica and MyGO, is eagerly anticipated for March 1, 2026.

Music enthusiasts can also mark their calendars for Ave Mujica’s third single release, expected in winter 2025, preceding a comprehensive live tour across major Japanese cities throughout April and May 2026. Visionary director Koudai Kakimoto continues to helm the anime projects for Ave Mujica, ensuring a unique blend of sophisticated musicality and compelling narrative. The band itself contributes significantly to the anime's vibrant soundscape, performing both the powerful opening theme "KiLLKiSS" and the evocative ending theme "Georgette Me, Georgette You." This seamless integration of music and storytelling remains a hallmark of the BanG Dream! franchise, solidifying its position as a genre-defining powerhouse in music-centric anime. The upcoming movie and its accompanying projects underscore BanG Dream!'s relentless expansion and enduring popularity within the global anime and Japanese pop culture landscape.
