The series consists of short 3-minute animations that focus on the daily lives of Pastel*Palettes, one of the five bands featured in the spinoff game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!. There's Aya Maruyama, the ever-optimistic vocalist, Chisato Shirasagi, the former child actor turned bassist, Eve Wakamiya, the half-foreign keyboardist with a love for bushido, Hina Hikawa, the guitarist who can be a bit too brutally honest at times, and Maya Yamato, the socially awkward drummer with an extensive knowledge of audio equipment.

Write What You Know: [1] When Hina lands the part of a little sister character in a drama series, Chisato tries to get her to invoke this trope, since Hina actually does have an older sister. But every time Chisato tries to get her to picture herself in various scenes, Hina just goes on rambling tangents about her sister that don't really help her acting ability.
