Seiyuu and singer, Yurika Endou, is retiring from the entertainment industry, and this includes her voice acting work. Her retirement has left a big hole in one particular franchise, and that is BanG Dream. In the franchise, she voices Lisa Imai, a member of the band Roselia. However, it seems that she now has a replacement.

During the second day of the “BanG Dream! 5th☆Live” concert, they revealed a “6th member” for the band, Roselia. It turns out that that 6th member is seiyuu Yuki Nakashima. Fans might know her for her role as Aoi Zaizen in the Yugioh Vrains anime, as well as Teekyu’s Kinako Tanaka. And now, the anime’s official website has confirmed that she’s replacing the retiring Endou as Lisa.
