The band will be he main focus of this show, but with a fun twist! They will take on the challenge to do their very first radio drama! The radio show will be called “ガンバル戦隊メアレンジャー(Ganbaru Sentaimare Rangers)”.
According to Nico Nico, the band has been in intensive training for a full month, practicing “magic”. Whatever that entails, we’re not sure, but it’s Nightmare, so we expect it’s going to end hilariously.
