Ave Mujica is a Japanese all-female metal band that is part of Bushiroad's BanG Dream! media franchise. Formed in 2023, the group's members portray fictional characters in the project's anime series and mobile game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! in addition to performing their characters' respective instruments in live concerts.
The band consists of Kanon Takao (keys), Yuzuki Watase (rhythm guitar), Rico Sasaki (lead guitar and vocals), Mei Okada (bass), and Akane Yonezawa (drums). In the game, Ave Mujica is represented by five first-year high-school students who make appearances during the game adaptation of the story of MyGO!!!!!: Sakiko Togawa (Takao), Mutsumi Wakaba (Watase), Uika Misumi (Sasaki), Umiri Yahata (Okada), and Nyamu Yūtenji (Yonezawa).
The members go by the nicknames Oblivionis, Mortis, Doloris, Timoris, and Amoris respectively, all inspired by various lunar maria. It symbolizes the subtle emotional experiences of the original characters, the more precise meaning of which is revealed in the official anime series.
