What is the best exit from Ikebukuro Station for reaching the MyGO street scene?

Use the East Exit, then head toward Sunshine City via Sunshine 60 Street. It is the most direct approach and matches the anime pilgrimage route most fans use.

Can I take comparison photos freely on Sunshine 60 Street?

Yes, street photography is generally allowed in public areas, but avoid blocking foot traffic or shooting directly into shops. Tripods and long setup sessions are best avoided because the area is busy.

Is the anime scene still recognizable even if the storefronts have changed?

Yes, the street layout, road width, and overall perspective are still easy to recognize. The biggest differences are changing tenant signs and seasonal advertising displays.

A busy view of Ikebukuro’s Sunshine 60 Street captures the dense commercial atmosphere used in BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! as an urban transitional shot.
This shot uses the lively streetscape of Ikebukuro as a transitional moment, projecting the band members’ strained emotions onto a city filled with crowds and neon. Although no main character is visible in the frame, the glamorous yet slightly cold atmosphere of the street reflects their state of mind as they drift between misunderstanding, emotional conflict, and self-doubt. In the surrounding story, the girls want to hold onto their bonds with one another, yet they keep growing apart because they cannot honestly express what they feel, so this urban image does more than bridge scenes—it deepens the series’ signature sense of youth, anxiety, and loneliness. The real location is Sunshine 60 Street in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and the anime reproduces the street composition with impressive accuracy: the straight shopping street perspective, the dense signage on both sides, and the recognizable commercial atmosphere leading toward major retail complexes are all closely matched. In real life, the specific shop signs, colors, brands, and facade details change over time, but the street width, building arrangement, and bustling mood remain highly consistent with the anime. Because this area is a busy shopping and sightseeing district, the real street usually feels more crowded and visually cluttered than in the show; if you want to recreate a similar angle, it is best to avoid peak hours and be mindful of pedestrian flow and storefront courtesy while taking photos.
