The third season of BanG Dream! 
 
The girls of Poppin'Party have come a long way, but the competition coming up is the biggest yet - the BanG Dream! Girls Band challenge at the legendary Budokan! Slots to compete are limited and the usual competitors will be vying for the chance, but the band to beat is the new RAISE A SUILEN, whose founder, Chiyu, has sworn to destroy both Roselia and Poppin'Party! 
 
Indeed, Chiyu's main goal is to make Roselia's lead Yukina pay for denying Chiyu a spot as a producer, and the musical prodigy has the connections and resources to push the competition up to the next level! Can Poppin'Party keep up with the increased tempo and meet challenges like producing their own music video? They'll have to if they want to make it to the big show!

The second season of BanG Dream!. 
 
It's a new school year and Kasumi, Arisa, Saaya, Tae, and Rimi are thrilled to finally be second-year students. Even more exciting than becoming upperclassmen, however, is the fun they have while performing in their band Poppin' Party… until things get out of control when the girls publicly announce that they're going to do their own concert before they've really studied the issue. 
 
Suddenly they're committed to doing something that's a lot more difficult than it seemed, and the pressure is doubled since their musical rivals in Roselia, who've also announced a live concert, are way ahead of them in planning! But you can't stop the music, and with a little hard work and help from other groups and some talented newcomers, Poppin' Party fever will soon be popping up all over!

After performing at the Budokan Live, the stage of their dreams, a mysterious woman appears before Kasumi and the others.
 Poppin'Party's next stage will be... overseas?!

It's here! The big concert! Kasumi Toyama, the girl who followed the trail of golden stars and heard the call of the Star Beat, and her friends/bandmates Saya, Tae, Rimi and Arisa, are now poised on the edge of stardom themselves as they prepare for a massive outdoor concert! It's a huge venue to fill, but fortunately Poppin'Party won't be the only band taking the stage during this major musical event. It's a non-stop wall of J-Pop fun as Afterglow, Pastel Palettes, Roselia, and Hello, Happy World! all join the ladies of Poppin'Party, and while they're all still competing against each other, the real winners are the lucky members of the audience!
