As such, “ROSELIA” is now holding auditions to replace their graduating member. Applicants must be between ages 13 to 20, have piano and keyboard experience, and may be either professional or amateur. Applicants who already belong to a talent agency or artiste management group are welcome to join.

The deadline for applications is on 13th August 2018, and succesful applicants will receive a call-back by 20th August 2018. Application forms as well as more detailed instructions on the auditions are available on the official BanG Dream! website.
