BanG Dream! YumeMita gets new live footage and a site update

Late on July 30, 2026, Bushiroad published a new press release for TV anime BanG Dream! YumeMita. The update does three things at once: it pushes out a new episode 7 live-performance clip, it announces a second non-credit opening video, and it refreshes the official character pages on the series site. For a music-centered anime, that combination matters. It keeps the show visible between broadcasts, gives fans something immediate to watch, and signals that the production team is still actively curating the series as it airs.

What Was Announced

The press release says the episode 7 insert song “TearJerker” is already available on the BanG Dream! YouTube channel. It also says “Face The Next” will premiere on July 31, 2026 at 20:00 JST. In the same announcement, Bushiroad says a second non-credit opening video will be released as part of the rollout. The official series site was updated too, with profiles for Arare Nakamachi, Nonoka Miyanaga, Toko Fuji, Yuno Sengoku, and Ritsu Minotuki refreshed or added.

This is a good example of how modern anime promotion works when music is part of the identity of the show. The release is not just a single clip or a single screenshot. It is a coordinated push across the YouTube channel and the official website, with each piece pointing fans back to the same episode and the same cast lineup.

Why It Matters

For viewers who follow BanG Dream! as a franchise, official music clips are not filler. They are part of the story of the series itself. YumeMita is built around performances, character chemistry, and the way each episode turns a song into a narrative beat. Releasing the insert song separately lets the production highlight the emotional center of the episode without waiting for a recap or a clip account to surface it.

The site update matters for a different reason. Character pages are often where a show quietly keeps its identity stable from week to week. Updating those pages makes it easier for returning viewers to catch up, while also helping new viewers understand who is who without relying on fan-maintained summaries. That is especially useful in a series where the cast and the band identity are closely tied together.

Context for International Fans

The press release also restates that the anime is airing weekly on TOKYO MX and other Japanese broadcasters, with same-day streaming on services including ABEMA, Prime Video, d Anime Store, FOD, Hulu, J:COM STREAM & みるプラス, Lemino, TELASA, U-NEXT, アニメ放題, ニコニコ, and Bandai Channel. Availability outside Japan will still depend on regional licensing, but the official release gives overseas fans a clear sign of where the series is being handled first.

That is the useful part for an international audience: when a franchise keeps its own clips and cast pages updated, it becomes easier to follow without waiting for secondary coverage. If a local platform carries the series, the official YouTube uploads and the series site become the fastest way to catch the latest promo material in the original context.

What Happens Next

The next concrete step is the premiere of “Face The Next” on July 31, 2026 at 20:00 JST. After that, the series will continue its weekly broadcast-and-streaming cycle, and the official channels will likely remain the best place to track new clips, profile changes, and episode-specific music releases.

Rilakkuma Reveals a New PV and Key Visual for "Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou"

Image
On June 20, 2026, the official Rilakkuma anime website and a San-X press release introduced a new key visual and a second promotional video for the series. The update also gave the project its latest story title, Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou , while keeping the show in its current TV and streaming rollout. What Was Announced The announcement is straightforward but important: Rilakkuma now has a second PV and a new key visual tied to the Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou story line. The release frames this chapter as a gentle travel-themed continuation of the anime rather than a hard reset, which fits the character brand well. The release also confirms the practical viewing details. In Japan, the anime airs on TBS every Saturday at 9:25 a.m. JST.

Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily Confirms a Second Cour for October

Image
On June 21, 2026, the official site for Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily confirmed that the anime’s second cour will begin in October 2026. The same day, the site also introduced a new character, Asahi, voiced by Kyori Nemoto. A follow-up report on V-STORAGE repeated the announcement and added context about where the series sits inside Pierrot’s long-running magical-girl tradition. What Was Announced The official news page says Episode 12, “Song...” closed the first cour on June 21 and that the second cour is scheduled for October 2026. The teaser visual centers the sisters and places a large hourglass behind them.

The companion character announcement introduces Asahi, an idol fan who joins the cast after following Lulutto Lily’s live performance and audition path. It is a small update on paper, but it gives the next p...

Blue Lock's Namjatown Chibigurumi Return in a Limited Prize Drop

Image
On June 19, 2026, Bandai Namco Experience announced that the Blue Lock chibigurumi tied to the Namjatown collaboration will return as a limited prize line on June 26, 2026. The release is not a brand-new design drop. Instead, it brings back the cat-ear Chinese-style outfit art that was created for the Ikebukuro Namjatown event held from April to June 2025, and it makes that visual set available again through Namco locations and the official online crane route. What Was Announced The lineup is straightforward: five characters, each in the special collaboration outfit. The announced set includes Yoichi Isagi, Seishiro Nagi, Reo Mikage, Rin Itoshi, and Yo Hiori. According to the press release, the figures are about 11 cm tall. The company also notes that Blue Lock had passed 60 million copies worldwide as of June 2026, which explains why even a small-format prize revival can still attract attention. The key practical detail for collectors is that the item is framed as a prize releas...
