Hello! Brand New Summer!

Hello! Brand New Summer! (ハロー！ Brand New Summer！) is hololive Dreams’ first major in-game event — a summer-themed point rally running alongside launch week campaigns. Five hololive talents headline an original event story, six event mission songs unlock through progression, and players farm Event Pt and Event Badges through rhythm Lives and park mini-games to climb rankings and exchange for growth materials and exclusive event memories. The event opened July 28, 2026 at 12:00 JST and runs through August 5, 2026 at 19:59 JST. As of July 29 (event day 2), the rally is fully live and overlaps with the Extra Song Campaign and Release Celebration Login Bonus. Pair this guide with the dedicated Summer Gacha page for banner details and the Gacha Guide for spending strategy.

Event Overview

QualiArts and COVER Corporation timed Brand New Summer to land immediately after global launch, giving new players a structured goal beyond the tutorial while veterans chase Event Pt rankings and badge exchange rewards. Unlike the sequential song drops of the Extra Song Campaign, Brand New Summer wraps story chapters, mission-gated rhythm tracks, and repeatable point farming into one event hub accessible from the main menu during the campaign window.

The event features Oozora Subaru, Shiranui Flare, Shirogane Noel, Tsunomaki Watame, and Otonose Kanade — a cross-generation summer cast mixing hololive Japan members with hololive DEV_IS talent Kanade. Each holomem ties to at least one event song, and bringing featured talents on your rhythm team can improve clear efficiency when farming Event Pt on their stages.

Event Period

Detail	Value
Start	July 28, 2026 — 12:00 JST
End	August 5, 2026 — 19:59 JST
Duration	9 days
Status (July 29)	Day 2 active

Ranking results and unclaimed badge exchange rewards typically finalize shortly after the end timestamp — check the in-game event banner for any grace period announced by QualiArts. All six event songs remain playable in your library after the event ends; only the point rally, ranking, and badge shop windows close.

Point Rally — Event Pt and Event Badges

Brand New Summer’s core loop is a point rally. You earn Event Pt from:

• Rhythm Lives on event stages and eligible standard tracks during the rally period
• Dream Park mini-games tied to the summer event hub
• Daily event missions refreshed each server day

Event Badges drop alongside Event Pt from high-performance clears and milestone mission rewards. Badges feed a separate badge exchange shop where growth materials and event memories (collectible park decorations tied to the summer story) rotate on limited stock.

Practical farming tips for launch week:

1. Clear the event story chapters first — they unlock mission songs and boost point multipliers on featured stages.
2. Run Normal or Hard on event songs for stable Event Pt per stamina until your team handles Expert.
3. Rotate park mini-games between rhythm sessions; mini-game Event Pt caps reset daily.
4. Claim Release Celebration Login Bonus Diamonds in the same session so you can pull summer banner talents from the Summer Gacha.

Featured Talents

Talent	Unit / Notes	Event tie-in
Oozora Subaru	hololive Japan — 2nd gen	Original song Hot Duck!
Shiranui Flare	hololive Japan — 3rd gen	UNDEAD cover stage
Shirogane Noel	hololive Japan — 3rd gen	Homenobi performance
Tsunomaki Watame	hololive Japan — 4th gen	Renai Circulation cover
Otonose Kanade	hololive DEV_IS — FLOW GLOW	You & Aizu

If you are building a summer event team from scratch, see the Tier List for stat benchmarks — but prioritize talents you already invested in during launch week over chasing perfect synergy on day two.

Event Mission Songs

Six songs unlock through event missions during Brand New Summer. They expand your rhythm library independently of the Extra Song Campaign schedule:

Song	Type	Featured talent	Credits / Notes
Bakunatsu!! Tropica Vacation	hololive Dreams original	Ensemble	Lyrics: Katatori (IOSYS) — Music: ARM (IOSYS)
Hot Duck!	Original	Oozora Subaru	Subaru solo summer track
UNDEAD	Cover	Shiranui Flare	High-energy cover stage
Homenobi	Original	Shirogane Noel	Noel-featured mission song
Renai Circulation	Cover	Tsunomaki Watame	Classic cover adapted to six-lane format
You & Aizu	Original	Otonose Kanade	Kanade DEV_IS tie-in

Play each song at least once on Normal when it unlocks to register first-clear rewards and learn chart patterns before pushing Event Pt farming. Bakunatsu!! Tropica Vacation serves as the event’s ensemble anthem — similar in role to other holodori original campaign themes.

Event Pt Ranking

A global Event Pt ranking runs for the duration of Brand New Summer. Your rank tier at August 5, 19:59 JST determines bonus rewards distributed via mailbox after tally — typically premium currency, tickets, or exclusive cosmetics depending on QualiArts’ published reward table.

Ranking push strategies:

• Focus Event Pt efficiency over raw score until the final 48 hours if you are a casual player.
• Save stamina boosters and multiplier periods announced in the event news tab for days when you can play longer sessions.
• Monitor official X (@holo_dreams_en) for any mid-event bonus days that double Event Pt on specific stages.

Competitive players should cross-reference rhythm gameplay fundamentals and team building before committing upgrade materials solely for a nine-day ranking.

Rewards — Growth Materials and Event Memories

Event rewards split across three tracks:

1. Point milestone rewards — Claim thresholds along the Event Pt gauge for tickets, upgrade materials, and coins.
2. Badge exchange — Spend Event Badges on growth materials and event memories that decorate Dream Park with summer-themed props from the story.
3. Ranking payouts — Tiered mailbox gifts based on final Event Pt rank.

Event memories are the primary long-term collectible from this rally — they persist in Dream Park after the shop closes. Growth materials feed holomem level caps and facility upgrades documented in park facilities. Do not let unspent Event Badges expire; exchange them before August 5, 19:59 JST unless the in-game banner announces a post-event conversion.

Summer Gacha and Featured Banners

Brand New Summer runs parallel to a summer-themed gacha featuring event holomem rate-ups and possible pickup tickets. Banner pools, pity rules, and step-up details live on the dedicated Summer Gacha page — this event guide focuses on point rally mechanics, not pull economics.

For general banner strategy — when to spend launch Diamonds, how pity carries, and F2P pacing — read the Gacha Guide. Login bonus Diamonds from the Release Celebration Login Bonus still stack; Brand New Summer does not replace daily login rewards.

Overlap With Launch Campaigns

Launch week is crowded by design. Brand New Summer coexists with:

Campaign	Interaction
Extra Song Campaign	Independent daily song drops — 25 tracks through ~August 7
Release Celebration Login Bonus	Daily Diamonds — log in before farming Event Pt
Pre-registration rewards	One-time mailbox — already claimed for most launch players
Brand New Summer	Point rally, six event songs, ranking, badge shop

A efficient July 29 daily routine (15–20 minutes):

1. Login → claim login bonus Diamonds.
2. Check Extra Song Campaign for any new drop on @holo_dreams_en.
3. Advance Brand New Summer story → farm Event Pt on unlocked mission songs.
4. Run one Dream Park quest and a summer mini-game for badge income.
5. Spend spare time on Summer Gacha only after milestone rewards you want are secured.
