BanG Dream! Our Notes Launch Preparation Guide

To prepare for the launch of BanG Dream! Our Notes, verify your mobile device meets system requirements and has sufficient storage space for launch-day patches. Once the servers open, calibrate your input timing in the settings menu before spending initial resources on limited-time launch scout banners.

Launch Day Checklist and Early Priorities

Before diving into live performance sections, organize your initial session to secure time-sensitive campaign bonuses and set up your rhythm interface.

Priority Area	Immediate Action	Objective
Rhythm Controls	Adjust note speed, timing offset, note size, and lane opacity	Maximize note accuracy and combo retention
Launch Campaigns	Open the Launch Commemoration tab in the main menu	Secure starter currency and character materials
Gacha & Setup	Pull on limited-time launch scout banners	Build a versatile team of high-rarity character cards
Story & Live Play	Pair narrative chapters with recommended band members	Unlock new performance nodes and earn extra card XP

Calibrating the Rhythm Interface

Spend your first session adjusting input and display settings to match your playstyle before entering competitive leaderboards or high-difficulty stages.

Open the settings menu from the main interface.
Adjust your Note Speed and Timing Offset values.
Modify visual cues by tweaking Note Size and Lane Opacity to reduce visual clutter on dense beat maps.
Enter practice mode to test your adjustments across different track difficulties before starting main campaign stages.

Fine-tuning these values early prevents timing errors during multi-member performance sections and specialized modes like GEKISO LIVE. Players who require additional mechanical support can also enable Assist Mode options within the control settings.

Maximizing Early Progression and Resources

The rhythm adventure loop balances reading band story segments with clearing timing-based live performances across five central bands. To progress efficiently:

Use recommended band members: When clearing story-linked rhythm stages, construct a unit using the characters highlighted in that chapter. Winning stages with required members grants bonus card experience, raising your team's total score output faster than random song farming.
Focus early currency on scout banners: Spend your starting currency on the active launch commemoration scout banners. High-rarity cards pulled from these banners offer higher base stats and event score multipliers needed to achieve top letter grades.
Defer cosmetic spending: Avoid spending initial resources on minor visual upgrades or non-essential cosmetic items until you have established a full high-rarity team capable of consistently clearing high-difficulty tracks.
