The BanG Dream! franchise continues to captivate audiences with its latest installment, Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast. Following the premiere of its second episode, the anime has released the highly anticipated ending song video, titled “Georgette Me, Georgette You”. This article will explore the details of the ending song, the anime series, and the band behind it all.
The Release of “Georgette Me, Georgette You”
On January 9, 2025, BanG Dream!’s Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast released the ending song video after the broadcast of its second episode. The song, titled “Georgette Me, Georgette You,” is performed by the titular band Ave Mujica. The release follows the debut of the creditless opening song video, “KiLLKiSS,” which was made available in December 2024. Both songs are integral to the anime’s unique atmosphere and thematic exploration.
The Anime: Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast
Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast serves as a direct sequel to the anime BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!!. The series delves into the formation and journey of the band Ave Mujica, a gothic/Lolita-inspired group that is shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The anime premiered on January 2, 2025, and is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, with new episodes released weekly.
Production and Staff
The anime is directed by Koudai Kakimoto at studio SANZIGEN, with Yuniko Ayana handling the scripts. Original character designers Hitowa and Kazuyuki Ueda return to design the characters, ensuring continuity with the franchise’s distinct visual style. The music for the sequel is composed by Hitoshi Fujima and Junpei Fujita (Elements Garden).
Synopsis
The story of Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast centers around Sakiko Togawa, also known as Oblivionis, who, after losing everything, forms the band Ave Mujica. The synopsis poses a question, “Will you give me the rest of your life?” This sets the stage for a narrative that explores themes of loss, ambition, and the search for identity. The members of the band, each burdened by their own troubles, come together to create a “perfect masquerade.”
The official synopsis teases: “On a stage where sorrow, death, fear, love—even the solace of forgetting—are stripped away, will their masks be torn off and shatter into oblivion, or will they….” This hints at the emotional turmoil and personal conflicts that the characters will face throughout the series.
The Characters and Voice Actors
The cast consists of the following talented voice actors:
- Kanon Takao as Sakiko Togawa/Oblivionis (Keyboard)
- Akane Yonezawa as Nyamu Yutenji/Amoris (Drums)
- Yuzuki Watase as Mutsumi Wakaba/Mortis (Rhythm Guitar)
- Mei Okada as Umiri Yahata/Timoris (Bass)
- Rico Sasaki as Uika Misumi/Doloris (Lead Guitar and Vocals)
These voice actors not only provide the voices for the characters but also perform their respective instruments in live performances, highlighting their multifaceted talents.
Ave Mujica: The Band
Ave Mujica is the sixth real band from the BanG Dream! franchise, following Poppin’Party, Roselia, RAISE A SUILEN, Morfonica, and MyGO!!!!!. The band is known for its gothic aesthetic and masked members, each with their own stage names.
Members of Ave Mujica
- Doloris (Uika Misumi): Lead Guitar and Vocals, voiced by Rico Sasaki
- Mortis (Mutsumi Wakaba): Rhythm Guitar, voiced by Yuzuki Watase
- Timoris (Umiri Yahata): Bass, voiced by Mei Okada
- Amoris (Nyamu Yutenji): Drums, voiced by Akane Yonezawa
- Oblivionis (Sakiko Togawa): Keyboard, voiced by Kanon Takao
Background and Formation
Within the anime universe, Ave Mujica was formed in the 13th episode of BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!!, which aired in Japan in September 2023. The band quickly rose to fame, performing at the Budokan, Japan’s most famous musical venue. However, behind their success lies a complex web of personal motives and internal conflicts.
The band’s formation was orchestrated by Sakiko Togawa, a former member of CRYCHIC. Ave Mujica’s members are all hidden behind masks and stage names, sporting ulterior motives that may conflict with previous group affiliations or even within themselves. This parallels the band’s overall more dreary theme of “damned” dolls void of any identity while residing in a Victorian-esque backdrop.
The Music of Ave Mujica
Ave Mujica’s music is an integral part of the band’s identity and the anime’s storytelling. Their songs, including the opening theme “KiLLKiSS” and the ending theme “Georgette Me, Georgette You,” are central to the overall experience of the anime.
“KiLLKiSS”
“KiLLKiSS” serves as the opening theme for Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast. The song was released as Ave Mujica’s second single on January 15, 2025, in Japan, and is also available for streaming. This dynamic and powerful song sets the stage for the anime’s dark and dramatic narrative.
“Georgette Me, Georgette You”
“Georgette Me, Georgette You” is the ending theme that was released alongside the second episode of the anime on January 9, 2025. This song is performed by Ave Mujica. The title and the song’s release have generated considerable buzz among fans, eager to hear and experience the latest music from the band.
BanG Dream! Franchise
The BanG Dream! franchise is a multimedia project created by Bushiroad president Takaaki Kidani in 2015. The franchise began with all-female bands whose members also voice act and perform their instruments. The project includes:
- Anime Series: Multiple seasons and films, with Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast being the latest installment.
- Mobile Games: A popular rhythm game that features all of the bands.
- Live Performances: The voice actors perform live as their respective characters.
The franchise has expanded to include nine groups, with six being able to play their character’s instruments. The first anime premiered in January 2017 and has since grown to include multiple seasons and films.
Argonavis: A Related Project
It is worth noting the existence of Argonavis, another project within the Bushiroad universe. Argonavis is an all-male band from the multimedia project From ARGONAVIS, previously known as ARGONAVIS from BanG Dream!. Although these two projects exist within the same franchise, it is important to note that the male and female bands do not mix and interact with each other, allowing each to have their own unique space within the BanG Dream! universe.
Conclusion
The release of the ending song video for Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast, “Georgette Me, Georgette You,” marks another exciting chapter in the BanG Dream! franchise. With a compelling narrative, unique characters, and exceptional music, Ave Mujica continues to push the boundaries of the franchise, promising to deliver a memorable anime experience for all its fans. As the series unfolds, viewers will be eager to uncover the mysteries behind the masked members of Ave Mujica and the dark secrets they hold.
