Girls Band Cry

Girls Band Cry's game branch is now building its own band roster. Kuzumimizuku is the third game-original band for Girls Band Cry First Riff, with its first single due digitally on October 18. The Switch port of the spin-off Momoka (o) Wassyoi launched July 23 with new content.

Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 8

The Girls Band Cry franchise now runs on two tracks: the anime's band and the bands built for the game Girls Band Cry First Riff. DONUTS and Toei Animation announced Kuzumimizuku as the third game-original band, with Wataru on scenario, character drafts by Ponkann, and production by agehasprings under King Records. Its five members are voiced by An, Mana, Aina, Noa, and Kaya. The first single, Hane ga Haeta Riyuu, goes digital on October 18, the same day as a free invitation-only practice live at Daikanyama SPACE ODD.

That puts the game's bands on a live bill: Canna Lily, F-272, and Kuzumimizuku are set for Pia Arena MM on November 3. The game is assembling a roster separate from Togenashi Togeari, and the arena date makes those bands a live draw rather than a screen-only line-up.

On the console side, the Nintendo Switch version of the spin-off Momoka (o) Wassyoi launched July 23. The 2D runner, originally on Steam, adds new stages, a playable version of protagonist Kawaragi Momoka's father Iseri Muneo, and a Truck Mode. Players dodge obstacles to deliver a heavily drunk Momoka home.

Merchandise and calendar moments fill out the rest of the coverage. A six-piece box of SD figures featuring Nina Iseri, Subaru Awa, Momoka Kawaragi, Tomo Ebizuka, and Rupa opened for preorder at Amiami, priced at 14,100 yen with an August 2026 release, a box-limited Nina Iseri figure, bonus clear cards, foil-stamped cards, a poster, and a background board. On June 9, Rock Day in Japan, Girls Band Cry joined My Hero Academia, Precure, and Haibara's Teenage New Game+ in posting themed art and messages, a wordplay on the numbers 6 (roku) and 9 (ku).
