RAISE A SUILEN

 is an all-girl band in the BanG Dream! franchise. The group consists of Raychell on vocals and bass, Kohara Riko on guitar, Natsume on drums, Kurachi Reo on keyboard and vocals, and Tsumugi Risa as DJ.

They were tentatively given the name THE THIRD (仮) before getting their official name which was announced during their second live.

They are currently not featured in the game, except for some playable songs, but it was announced at the 3rd Anniversary SP HaroHapi CiRCLE Broadcaster that they would be added in early summer of 2020. Later, the Key Visual and some other general information was released at the 34th HaroHapi CiRCLE Broadcaster, which was live streamed on Apr 24, 2020.

It was later announced that June 10th, 2020 will be the release date of RAISE A SUILEN in the game.

Background
Initially, the group was formed solely as a backup band due to the voice actresses of Afterglow, Pastel*Palettes and Hello, Happy World! being unable to play their characters' instruments, with the band giving the vocalists a chance to perform. However, they also have their own original songs. It was later revealed after the second live that they officially have become part of the BanG Dream! franchise. Furthermore, it was also announced that they have been given an official band name, RAISE A SUILEN in addition of a newly recruited member, Tsumugi Risa.
