Gekisou! BAND STAR is a rhythm game that lets you play popular songs as part of a full band – you can choose to play the guitar, bass, keyboard, or drums! With tons of customization options and a session play mode, it’s fun for both beginners and experienced players, letting you feel like you’re performing live on stage.

The game includes a soundtrack packed with popular hits from artists like YOASOBI, AKB48, and Omoinotake.

Some of the featured tracks include:

  • “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born”
  • “Idol”
  • “Mela!”
  • “Ao no Sumika”
  • “Some Like It Hot!!”
  • “Ikuokukonen”
  • “FREEDOM”
  • “Apollo”
  • “Koyoi no Tsuki no Youni”
  • “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie”
  • “Blue Bird”
  • …and more!

When you play the game, it’s like actually playing guitar – use one hand to make chords and the other to strum! Up to four people can play together on separate consoles, but everyone needs their own copy of the game.
