Ave Mujica have released the official music video for “BADDY BADDY”, an insert song from the anime series BanG Dream! Ave Mujica prima aurora. The track appears on the band’s third mini album “Kami no Na wo”, which came out on 21 October 2026 through Bushiroad Music, and the video arrived two days later.
The song was written by Diggy-MO’, a former member of SOUL’d OUT, who composed and arranged it together with producer JUNKOO. His rhythmic, hip hop influenced phrasing shapes the track, and the video matches it with collage art and sharp performance cuts. Kazuki Gotanda of SIGNO directed, shot and edited the clip and created the collage work, with Yoshiki Kawasaki of SIGNIF producing.

A Band Born on Stage

They debuted with the digital single “Black Birthday” in April 2023, played their first concert at Nakano Sunplaza that June and released the EP “Alea jacta est” in September 2023. The EP “Elements” followed in 2024 and their first full album “Completeness” came out in 2025, all on Bushiroad Music. The band pairs heavy guitar riffs and dramatic piano arrangements with dark theatrical storytelling, on record and on stage.
