Yuna Mitake May 2026

She doesn't dream of Budokan. She dreams of the cramped, sweaty live house where the floorboards creak and the crowd is three people deep. She dreams of the moment when the feedback screeches, her voice gives out, and the audience still screams for an encore.

At first glance, Yuna is pure, unfiltered energy. She’s the childhood friend who never learned how to whisper, the classmate who laughs too loud, and the big sister who punches your shoulder to show affection. But beneath that spiky orange hair lies the most interesting paradox in BanG Dream! : a girl who is simultaneously too reckless to follow a map and too fiercely loyal to ever let you walk alone. Her bandmates call her Gorilla —a nickname born from her brute-force drumming sessions and her tendency to solve problems by headbutting them. Yet, Yuna writes lyrics that bleed raw vulnerability. Songs like "Hey-day Capriccio" aren't about triumph; they’re about the terror of stagnation, the panic of watching your childhood friends drift away, and the desperate need to scream into the void just to feel alive. yuna mitake
