AAside

 is a song by Argonavis and the theme song of the "ARGONAVIS from BanG Dream! AAside" game.

It was shown for the first time, along with the game (and also GYROAXIA and Fantôme Iris) during the ARGONAVIS Project Exhibition stream on November 5, 2019.

On AAside, it was the event song of the Argonavis (Ren Nanahoshi) focused event Argonavis -The Beginning- and a bonus song for the event Live Royal Fes 1st Round Main Battle.

It was written by Kou Nakamura, composed and arranged by Takuya Watanabe -who also played the guitar and was also in charge of all the other instruments and programming-, the bass was played by Mashiro Shirakami and the drums by Kitamura Nozomu.

Argonavis' version was released digitally on the day of the game's release: January 14, 2021; and it is also included on the first disc of the Argonavis AAside Memorial Album, which was released on April 12, 2023. Meanwhile the version by the five vocalists (Ren Nanahoshi, Nayuta Asahi, FELIX, Futa Kaminoshima, and Shu Ujigawa) and CROSSING VER (Argonavis×GYROAXIA) are included on the album with the same name, which was released on February 3, 2021.

光は差す　同時に影は生まれ 世界の　今　絶望と希望を孕む

選ばれし者たちの恍惚と　不安に溺れそうさ Good time Bad time 呼吸を忘れそう Show me a way 教えてくれないか？

勝者と敗者を　分かつのがモノガタリか？ 主役が一人と誰が決めた？

Double A-Side　この世界は表裏一体　と 白か(White？)黒いか(Black？)答なんて(あるのか？) Double A-Side　君を見た　退けぬ“理由”と“覚悟”抱えて 今日も(wow)交差する(wow)群像劇（Don't let me down）

闇のなかを進もう 後戻りはしない 足掻いて　藻掻いて　決めたことだから(yeah)

show me, show me, way to do, show me, way, way, way to go show me, show me, way to do, show me 教えてよ my way

翼の折れた覚悟が 放物線描きながら必死に飛んでる 何度だって　立ち向かって 生まれ変わってきた者に　夢を見させて

このモノガタリになんていらない 戦い抗う君のままで

Double A-Side　この世界に　消えない永遠の関係性 愛と(Love)闘争(War)ひとつにして(叫んだ) Double A-Side　この人生は絶望と野望のリフレイン 生まれ(wow)定まって(wow)抜け出せない(どうして？)

闇を抜けたならば　成長してるのか？ 刻んだ時間は　君のものだから(yeah)

感情の果てに　涙を捨てたら 君はまた歩きだした

Double A-Side　この世界は表裏一体　と 白か(White？)黒いか(Black？)答なんて(あるのか？) Double A-Side　君を見た　退けぬ“理由”と“覚悟”抱えて 今日も(wow)交差する(wow)群像劇(Don't let me down)

闇のなかを進もう　後戻りはしない 足掻いて　藻掻いて　決めたことだから 君と行こう　何度も　決めたことだから(yeah) English =
