Regarding existing in-game voice lines & songs for Aya Maruyama, we have received many requests from fans to preserve these almost 6 years of content as they are, and have decided that they will not be replaced with the new cast.

We wish to continue to portray the growth of Aya Maruyama, as well as the other members of BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!, so we hope for everyone's continued support.

Thank you all for your constant support for the game.
