All players who log into the game during the collaboration period will obtain 500 stars and special crossover stamps. However, the stamps featuring the original Hololive VTubers are only usable during the period. Only the stamps of BanG Dream characters cosplaying as the VTubers will remain available permanently.
The three Hololive VTubers will also hold a live stream dedicated to BanG Dream! Girls Band Party on their respective YouTube channels. Houshou Marine’s stream will appear first on Saturday, January 13, 2024. Yukihana Lamy will be the second one on Sunday, January 14, 2024. The third and final stream by Shishiro Botan will launch on Monday, January 15, 2024. All streams on each day will go live at 7 PM JST / 5 AM ET.
This batch will be the last of the three-part collaboration that Bushiroad revealed in December 2023. The first part, which featured Minato Aqua, Tokino Sora, and Shirakami Fubuki, ran from December 6, 2023, to January 8, 2024. The second part starring Hoshimachi Suisei and Sakamata Chloe launched on December 23, 2023, and is still available until January 22, 2024.
It is yet to be known whether the new crossover content will also be available on the global English server or not. The latest Hololive collaboration featured on the English website appeared in April 2023. That was the month when Hololive English’s IRyS made an appearance with her song “See the World.”
BanG Dream! Girls Band Party is available worldwide on Android and iOS mobile devices. Bushiroad is now the sole maintainer of the mobile game after the development studio Craft Egg announced its withdrawal. The third part of the second Hololive collaboration event will be available on the Japanese server from January 13, 2024, to February 12, 2024.
