from ARGONAVIS



 is an all-male multimedia project by Bushiroad and is part of the BanG Dream! franchise. It was first announced on May 12, 2018.

Just like BanG Dream!, ARGONAVIS develops various media mixes such as anime, game, and live performances.

While part of the Bang Dream! franchise, the characters from the Girls Band Party! will not interact with the characters from this project as stated by Bushiroad's President, Takaaki Kidani.

One notable difference between the two projects is that the majority of the characters in ARGONAVIS are in college with the exception of ΕpsilonΦ which is composed of one middle school student and four high school students, while the Girls Band Party! project has all of its characters in high school.

The two projects also differ in their area setting. Original BanG Dream! is set in Shinjuku, Tokyo while ARGONAVIS from BanG Dream! is set in Hakodate, Hokkaido.

The official name for ARGONAVIS fans are Navigators or Navi for short. It was announced during the BanG Dream! Argonavis 2nd LIVE.

The project's slogan is "We still have a song."' (俺たちにはまだ、歌があった. )
