CyberAgent's rhythm game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! has secured over four million downloads in its first six months of release in Japan.
The game is now being pushed out to Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan in a traditional Chinese edition. A new collection of cover songs have been released in-game to celebrate the game's launch.
Developed by Craft Egg and based on a Bushimo property, BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! is part rhythm game, part visual novel. Players form a band of anime women and perform songs on stage with simple tap-based controls.

CyberAgent considers the game a hit, though it hasn't explicitly mentioned this in its latest financials. That said, the company is currently seeing profits fall across the board despite revenues continuing to grow.
