BODY: Five masked musicians, one new wardrobe. The second teaser for BanG Dream! MyGO!!!!! // Ave Mujica dropped on October 25, and it spends its entire runtime on the half of the equation fans have been most anxious about β Ave Mujica, reassembled and dressed in costumes no one has seen before.
Subtitled "Side Ave Mujica," the trailer confirms what the series' slash-mark title has been implying since the project was announced in March: this is not two shows but one, splitting its attention between MyGO!!!!! and the gothic metal band that has repeatedly torn itself apart. The first teaser was shown only in theaters, tacked onto screenings of the film BanG Dream! Ave Mujica prima aurora, so this is the first look most fans at home are getting.
The broadcast details are now firm: Friday, January 8, 2027, at 23:30 on the Nippon TV network, inside the FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT block that Japanese fans shorten to "Furaani." That timing puts the series in the winter 2027 season, roughly two years after BanG Dream! Ave Mujica aired its scorched-earth finale and left both bands in pieces.
Bushiroad has not detailed the story, cast changes, or staff beyond the returning franchise core, and the teaser offers no dialogue β just costumes, instruments, and mood. For a franchise that treats costume reveals as narrative information, that restraint is doing a lot of work.
The insider take
The slot is the real story here, and Japanese fans clocked it immediately β one widely shared reaction simply said, "I never expected the new Ave Mujica to land in the Furaani block." FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT is the prime-adjacent terrestrial window Nippon TV built for breakout titles like Frieren and Dandadan: a 23:30 Friday start on a national network, not the fragmented regional-UHF scheduling most idol-band anime still live with. BanG Dream! has always been a franchise that converts anime viewers into live-concert ticket buyers, and putting Ave Mujica's masked faces in front of a general late-night audience signals that Bushiroad now sees the band as a mainstream draw rather than a cult spin-off. Expect the Tokyo Dome-scale live business to be built around whatever this series does to Sakiko and company.
