How the story is structured in Our Notes
The official launch announcement describes a fully voiced story built around five bands. It confirms exclusive chapters for each band and says players unlock more chapters as they progress. The official store description adds a Cinematic Story System, animated sequences, illustrated scenes, and special episodes that continue familiar anime stories from the perspective of Our Notes.
The official materials establish the broad shape of the story, while the community index provides a working episode map. Its main-story directory records Episodes 1–20 for each of the five bands and also lists Another episodes. MyGO!!!!!, Ave Mujica, and Mugendai MewType additionally have Extra episodes in that directory. These labels are useful for navigation, but the official English chapter names and exact unlock rules remain unclear.
Chapter by chapter
The following entries use the community index as a navigation aid and keep the official status visible. Episode titles and episode counts come from the community record; the checked official sources confirm the five band-specific story groups but do not publish this complete episode table. Plot summaries are paraphrased and kept collapsed so the structural map stays readable for players who want to avoid spoilers.
MyGO!!!!! — Lost Stars, Echoing Cries
The community index lists twenty main episodes for MyGO!!!!!, followed by five Another episodes and three Extra episodes. The official site confirms the band and its five-member roster, while the official announcement identifies MyGO!!!!! among the story groups introduced at the start of the project.
The exact player rank, song count, and prerequisite for each episode are unclear in the official materials. Use the in-game story screen for the active unlock state.
Spoilers: MyGO!!!!! story direction
The community synopsis frames the opening around Anon entering Haneoka Girls' Academy, meeting Tomori, and the band's members working through past hurt and unstable connections. The episode titles then follow the group toward reunion, shared music, and a five-member identity.
Ave Mujica — Ephemeral Garden
The community index lists twenty main episodes, five Another episodes, and three Extra episodes for Ave Mujica. The official roster identifies Uika Misumi, Mutsumi Wakaba, Umiri Yahata, Nyamu Yūtenji, and Sakiko Togawa as the band's members. The official store description also places Ave Mujica among the bands whose anime-related story material is revisited from an Our Notes perspective.
The official sources do not publish the level, song, or previous-episode requirement for any Ave Mujica chapter. The current game version remains the authority for access conditions.
Spoilers: Ave Mujica story direction
The community synopsis begins after CRYCHIC's breakup and follows Sakiko's formation of Ave Mujica. Its episode list tracks the band's rise, pressure, and increasingly strained relationships. This summary intentionally avoids dialogue and scene-by-scene details.
Mugendai MewType — Dream Again!
The community index records twenty main episodes, five Another episodes, and three Extra episodes for Mugendai MewType. The official site lists Arale Nakamachi, Nonoka Miyanaga, Ritsu Minetsuki, Miyako Fuji, and Yuno Sengoku in the band's roster. Official store copy identifies Mugendai MewType among the bands whose story is presented through the game-exclusive perspective.
No checked official source publishes a chapter count or unlock threshold for this band. The episode map should therefore be treated as a community navigation record rather than an official progression guide.
Spoilers: Mugendai MewType story direction
The community synopsis centers on Arale's relationship with her past and the different personalities gathered under MewType. The episode titles move from introduction and uncertainty toward cooperation, performance, and the band's shared potential.

The community synopsis presents Hotaru's fear of music, her connection with Kanata Sawami, and an unexpected revelation linked to a BAND LIVE show. The episode list then follows music, memory, talent, and the band's developing sense of purpose.
Ikka Dumb Rock! — THAT KIND OF LOVE

The official store description identifies Ikka Dumb Rock! as one of the bands with a completely original story from the beginning.
The exact unlock condition for each episode is unclear. Official launch materials only establish gradual progression through each band's exclusive chapters, so values such as a required rank or number of songs should not be presented as confirmed rules.
Spoilers: Ikka Dumb Rock! story direction
The community synopsis begins with Miku moving into a student dormitory and encountering Raika's idea of family. It describes a loud, chaotic shared life that gradually becomes the band's emotional setting. The episode titles emphasize home, arguments, love, and an evolving group identity.
