Ave Mujica

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ave_mujica_logo_7.png
"Welcome to the world of Ave Mujica."


    General 
  • Color-Coded Characters: The band is associated as a group with burgundy.
    • Uika: Gold
    • Sakiko: Blue
    • Mutsumi: Desaturated Green
    • Nyamu: Magenta
    • Umiri: Saturated Dark Blue
  • Cool Mask: All of them wear masquerade masks onstage.
  • Darker and Edgier: Befitting to their gothic metal image, their music's lyrics has more darker and aggressive themes compared to most of the other bands. And like MyGO, their story contains darker subject matter than usual for Bang Dream, with the end of the former's anime revealing that Sakiko deals with an alcoholic father and is currently living in poverty.
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble:
    • Uika: Phlegmatic-Sanguine
    • Sakiko: Sanguine-Choleric
    • Mutsumi: Melancholic-Phlegmatic
    • Nyamu: Sanguine
    • Umiri: Phlegmatic
  • Gratuitous Latin
  • Stage Names: Like RAISE A SUILEN before them, all of the members go by different aliases as part of the band.
  • Theme Naming: The members' surnames are taken from train stations around Japan, while their stage names are derived from lunar maria.
  • Visual Kei: Even moreso than Roselia. The members use Stage Names, have a Masquerade Ball theme and wear masquerade masks to conceal their identities, and utilize onstage personas as abandoned dolls.

    Sakiko Togawa/Oblivionis (Unmarked Spoilers
Voiced by: Kanon Takao (Japanese)

  • Big Bad: She's the primary antagonist of both the MyGO!!!!! anime and its band story adaptation in Girls Band Party, being the one who disbanded CRYCHIC and heavily contributing to Tomori's and Soyo's traumas.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Chiyu Tamade/CHU2. Both are the leaders of their respective bands despite not being the vocalists, and while CHU2 receiving less marketing, Sakiko receives more due to being the Villain Protagonist of the upcoming Ave Mujica anime. Additionally, their hostile personalities stem from their strained relationships with their parents, with Chiyu being burdened by the high expectations of her parents as well as her mother's reputation as a famous violinist, while Sakiko lives in poverty as a result of her alcoholic father. That being said, while both are rich girls, the difference is that CHU2 is a Minor Living Alone in a Sleek High Rise Apartment, whereas Sakiko fell into poverty because of her difficult upbringing with her dysfunctional family.
  • First Friend: Served as this to Tomori during their middle school years, having saved her from accidentally falling off a bridge and mistaking it for an attempted suicide. They continued to bond as they hung out at their respective homes and Sakiko showcased her piano skills, which led to her deciding to form a band with Tomori. This makes it all the more tragic when she belittles Tomori for doing nothing upon her sudden disbandment of CRYCHIC.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While she is pretty cold and did belittle Tomori for doing nothing upon her sudden disbandment of CRYCHIC, when Soyo attempts (and fails) to convince her to reform CRYCHIC, Sakiko rightfully calls her out for refusing to move on from the past, and when Soyo resorts to screaming, crying, and begging for her to comply with the claim that she'll do anything, Sakiko questions if she has any resolve for throwing out her dignity in such a manner. A few episodes later has Soyo admit that Sakiko is right after returning to MyGO.
  • Kick the Dog: When she makes the abrupt decision to disband CRYCHIC, she calls out Tomori for not practicing as much as the others and accuses her of not contributing to the band's activities, which is particularly hurtful since she was Tomori's First Friend and the one she formed CRYCHIC with.
  • Ojou: Subverted. While she has a wealthy upbringing, Tsurime Eyes, and polite mannerisms, uses the "watakushi" pronoun often associated with this trope, and is an Elegant Classical Musician who plays the piano, Sakiko has fallen from Riches to Rags as a result of her father's alcoholism and currently lives in poverty.
  • Walking Spoiler: Her sudden act of disbanding CRYCHIC and being the source of Tomori's and Soyo's traumas is impossible to discuss without spoiling it.
    Uika Misumi/Doloris 
Voiced by: Rico Sasaki (Japanese)

    Mutsumi Wakaba/Mortis 
Voiced by: Yuzuki Watase (Japanese)

  • The Dragon: Seen as this to Sakiko, as her choosing to leave CRYCHIC and join Ave Mujica was to stay by Sakiko's side. While it's still unknown how much she knows about what happened to Sakiko during the fallout of the former band, it's clear she cares about her.
  • Fangirl: Like PAREO, she's also a fan of Pastel*Palettes, as she knows how to sing "Mou Ichido, Luminous" during CRYCHIC's karaoke party in middle school.
  • The Quiet One: She rarely speaks due to her stoic nature as she often struggles to express herself properly to others.
    Umiri Yahata/Timoris 
Voiced by: Mei Okada (Japanese)

  • The Ace: Umiri is skilled at the bass to such a degree that she is in high demand as a session musician; she has played for more than thirty different bands, including MyGO for a brief period.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: She is frequently seen drinking packet drinks, especially milk-based ones.
    Nyamu Yuutenji/Amoris 
Voiced by: Akane Yonezawa (Japanese)

  • Beneath the Mask: Downplayed. Although Nyamu is first introduced as a cute and sweet influencer throughout the first few episodes, in the last minutes of Episode 12 before Nyamu meets up with Sakiko, Nyamu speaks in a relatively lower voice—which can be assumed to be her natural voice—and we see a glimpse of her more fame-hungry side, implying that she’s not as innocent as she seems to be.
  • Fangirl: She’s a big fan of Roselia, to the point of being excited upon meeting Ako Udagawa in one of her vlogs.
