[Rhythm Games You Can Play on Your Phone] A concise roundup of popular music game apps!

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!

An Introductory Guide Video for New Garupa Players [BanG Dream! Garupa]

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! is a rhythm game produced as part of Bushiroad’s multimedia project, BanG Dream!.

It portrays the growth of high school students through their band activities, featuring a cast of distinctive and appealing characters.

While the story can be enjoyed within the game alone, it becomes even richer when experienced alongside the anime—for example, the game’s narrative picks up after the end of the first season.

Another highlight is the appearance of seven bands to which the characters belong.

Since each band performs in a different musical genre, discovering your favorite band and songs is part of the game’s charm.

Many tracks also reflect the characters’ thoughts as revealed through the story, making it a work that strongly conveys the essence of bands and youthful coming-of-age.

D4DJ Groovy Mix

D4DJ Groovy Mix was developed as the rhythm game for Bushiroad’s mixed-media project D4DJ.

It portrays the characters’ growth through their activities in DJ units, and the multiple units with markedly different concepts are a major draw.

Another key point is that each DJ unit has a different music producer, whose individuality colors the unit while also making the unit’s own character stand out even more.

The large number of cover songs is also noteworthy, providing opportunities to discover tracks you might not have known before.

The game system is distinct in how it emphasizes DJing, adding special inputs like sliders and turntables so you can feel closer to the experience of being a DJ.
