A new company
Today, it was announced that a new company Argonavis Co., Ltd. was established, now housing the ARGONAVIS from BanG Dream! franchise.
Argonavis Co., Ltd. is now a subsidiary of Bushiroad and while it will keep having the support from the parent label it’ll also have more freedom to explore different things (a result of not being under a direct hold from Bushiroad) and will focus exclusively on this project.
At the same time, it was announced that the voice actor and Argonavis guitarist, Daisuke Hyuga was appointed as the company’s public relations officer.
