As we posted earlier, BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! joined together with Los Angeles' Cafe Dulce for a collaboration cafe event. Cafe events are standard in Japan and if you go to Akihabara you'll probably run into more than a few just walking around. If you can think of a franchise, it probably had a cafe. Because of COVID19 we unfortunately did not get the full cafe treatment with art displays, ambience, and a lot more goods to buy. To make up for it we did get something a little more unique - a Zoom call with none other than Poppin'Party's own Aimi (voice of Kasumi Toyama) and Ayasa Ito (voice of Arisa Ichigaya).
