The official website and Twitter for the TV anime Kiratto Pri☆Chan has announced the voice cast for the three new characters who will join its forthcoming second season: Himika Akaneya (Laala Manaka in PriPara) as Maria Kanamori, Sora Tokui (Nico Yazawa in Love Live!) as Suzu Kurokawa, and Riko Sasaki (Poporon in Dropkick on My Devil!) as Dia.

Maria and Suzu are the Pri☆Chan idols who belong to the popular shop "Dear Crown." Maria is a girl who hopes to achieve world peace with "Kawaii," while Suzu is a boyish girl who doesn't say much but has a great passion for dancing.

Dia is the mysterious host of the newly-launched "Jewel Audition" to choose the best "Jewel Idol" who can wear the precious "Diamond Code." Her identity is kept secret, and there is a rumor that she is a virtual idol created with CG. Her voice cast Sasaki, who has musical performance experiences,

also serves as the motion capture actor for the character's 3DCG scenes in the anime.
