Poppin'Party 22nd Single "Doki Doki Date" (2026.4.29 ON SALE)

 

★The 22nd Single, packed with all of Popipa's cuteness and coolness, has been released!

The title song "Doki Doki Date" is a song that depicts the excitement of casual time spent with a loved one and the feelings that deepen beyond the misunderstandings, set to a pop and cute sound.

The exciting feelings that resonate with the story currently being distributed in the game "BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!" will brighten the daily lives of the listeners.

The CW song "Game Changer" is a fast-paced number that was written as a theme song for the 7th Garupa Cup individual tournament final.

The challenging message and passionate sound give off a strong impact.

In contrast to the title song, this is a song that lets you feel the bold and cool side of Poppin'Party.

The limited edition with Blu-ray includes the Poppin'Party New Year LIVE "Happy BanG Year!!" held at Tokyo Garden Theater in January 2026.

We highly recommend that you pick up this work, which encapsulates the charm of Poppin'Party.
