| It's always about health conditions. She's still young and its way too soon. |
| Oh no, too early to retire. She's still young. And what's with her health condition? Is it due to her activities seiyu and singer? Because she barely done anything on her career. Well I hope she gets well soon and comeback when she's ready. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Wow so early and she was still fairly new. Sad to see her go she did a good job voicing nozomi |
| For a moment I thought it was YuRiKa or whatever. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
Guranto-kun said: It's always about health conditions. She's still young and its way too soon. The managers overwork their talent in Japan, to the point it's no longer a breaking news story in the entertainment industry. |

| ---- Nozomi :'( ---- |
| "Don't Leave me, Lisa!!!!" |
What was my signature again? |
| A shame, she is so young and with such a short career but if it is due to health issues it is indeed better for her to stop. |
| >declining health >is 23 Holy shit, the poor girl. :( |
 |
| This is shocking, can't believe this is happening. Wish her all the best in the future |
| Sad that Roselia now lost it's bassist next year. Hopefully her replacement will also able to play bass too. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Ach, sounds like another case of overwork, throat conditions, or something like that. I thought she could be a big singer in the Akiba-pop vein, and especially like her feature on "Requiem for Eventers" from ZAQ's latest album. |

| Risa Imai's replacement will be announced at May 13, 2018's live, which will be her final live as Risa Imai. https://bang-dream.com/news/bang-dream-%E4%BB%8A%E4%BA%95%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B5%E5%BD%B9%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6/ |

| So young... I wish her the best. She might've worked herself too hard... |
| Too soon... Is it that bad that she chose retirement instead of a long hiatus? :( |
| She could put either idol or seiyuu work on hiatus, just like Nana Mizuki did, but then again, i don't know what was written in her contract. She made wise decision, if her health condition is getting worse, it is best to retire as soon as possible, we lost many great talents de to overwork :( |
| It probably is related to the vocal damage. |
 |
| it's so sad to see her go.. she's been performing in character while working so hard at her music too, so in terms of giving a career like this your all, it seems to be true that the brightest stars burn out fastest in many cases. early 20's is such a common time to start feeling the effects of many health conditions, so I'm really happy for her (in sort of a sad way) that she managed to catch it this early and is focusing on her own wellbeing. |
| I wish her all the best. |
 |
| Her activity for Onsen Musume also ends. https://twitter.com/onsen_musume_jp/status/944958682881650688 |

| @Rayzer could you please ask more clearly? I don't really quite get what you meant. Do you mean the cast for Onsen Musume or the new cast for her character? |

| @Rayzer I don't know when they announced cast members (I guess they did when they started the project?) but from the cast/staff page, there are lots of characters with cast members listed. |

| Posting this again on the site. This is when she lost to Natsumi Okamoto, fellow competitor and the winner of the year she participated. |

No it's a fan account presumably reposting her photos from a social media site that she is on, I'm afraid I don't know which (and it's picking rather personal ones!). ただの遠藤ゆりかオタク= just a Yurika Endou otaku... |
