Show By Rock!! is a Japanese mobile rhythm game created by Creator/{{Sanrio}} in collaboration with developer geechs. Unlike most of Sanrio’s other works, Show By Rock!! is aimed toward an older audience including adult men, as opposed to purely young girls. The game has three lanes, with taps and holds. Players need to get bromides (cards) in the game with skills that help them in gameplay. There are 21 bands currently in the game, 11 original bands, and 10 based on real Japanese musicians.

The real Japanese musicians whose music appear in the game include Asstellus (Dropout Sensei), Kafuka (Gauga Strikes), Marie Ueda (Shinimonogurui), Silhouette from the skylit (Demons Venom), Alice Juban (Alice Beans), clammbon (Labomuch), yksb feat. Milo x 31Style (Rapezziauto), kiki* (Chammy Chaplets), 04 Limited Sazabys (04Tobizbits), and Usotsuki (Tekebakitsu Sou).

* NintendoHard: Oh yeah. The higher the difficulty, the faster the notes flash and the more finger-tapping is involved, often requiring the player to tap ''all three buttons'' for long stretches of time. Add in the fact that just a few missed notes can kill you...

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are 85 characters, and that's only counting those who are band members.

* SocializationBonus: Having friends as support instead of guests net you more friend points and allows the usage of the support's active skill.

With the many characters in this game, please put tropes about specific characters in the [[Characters/ShowByRock Characters] page.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Lyna of Studdo Banggyashu. In fact, she may be single-handedly the reason why the band has so much (in-game) fans in the first place. Also, interesting to note that even the [[Anime/ShowByRock anime]] lists this band as just being below Trichronika, which is the most popular band and composed mostly of fangirls.
** At one point, [[spoiler:a rabid fangirl of almost all male characters, Pig Macaron of Dolly Dolci, actually gets a crush on Lyna. Cue her gasps and conflicting inner monologues when she]] finds out that Studdo Banggyashu is a girls band.

[WMG: This game provides examples of:]

* MoneyGrinding: Every Sunday there's an event where you play songs and earn cards that sell for high amounts of sound dollars as rewards. This is where the majority of your money will likely come from, and you'll need to grind it if you want to level up your bands.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: Loading screens are frequent in this game, and how long they are depends on how good your internet connection is.
