BanG Dream! Yume∞Mita Reveals Yumemita Visual And Blu-ray Jacket

The reveal bundles the character visual, the episode 13 live scene that supplies the lower volume jacket art, and both disc prices into a single announcement, so the December 16 release now has its packaging and its stage footage settled rather than teased.

The Tenth Mosaic Game Culture Festival Set For September 22 And 23 In Tokyo
