According to the official announcement from record company Lantis, Ogura Yui and Ishihara Kaori will leave the seiyuu singing group "StylipS" after the group releases their Best Album on April 24th. The official reason is concern about workload impact on their studies in school. A plan is now being made for the group to recruit new members.

By the way, it's Miku Itou, not "Mira".

Toyota Moe is 17 and Itoh Mira is 16, and both joined Style Cube (the agency of StylipS and a few others) only last year. So basically have done little professional work and no seiyuu work at all...

It is also odd that they were not told they have 2:30 to introduce themselves and they both finished their self-intro at just about 1 minute...

Two New Members replacing Ogura-chan and Ishihara-san.

Intro videos.

I just had a thought - does this mean that TSU・BA・SA will never get a full version?

Because if so, that makes me sad.

Or is it in the best hits album?

Stylips with never be the same without Yui and Kaori. I loved all of their songs and it just wont be the same without them. I loved how all their voices fit so well into the song and hope that someday, thought strongly doubting, that they will join back after their schedule clears up.

Its been a good 1 year with all of their wonderful songs. Will always remember their group. And they were starting to become popular too....T_T

On a unrelated note- Wow didnt know those two are still in school. There are starting to get more main roles too.

That's too bad. I really hope Ogura Yui doesn't stop singing - she has one of the most adorable voices I've ever heard.

Aquarion Evol is still high on my watchlist after hearing so many great things about it... goddamn spoilers in the comments.

Nothing against Matsunaga and Noto, but if you lose YuiKaori you might as well just make a new group entirely, I'm sure they're most of the reason people followed StylipS.

^This.

Pretty sad news but well, it's inevitable.

I'm excited to see what these two do in the near future once they're done with school. I'm hoping it's a bright future! :D

What else do you think beside Kaori Ishihara proposes to Yui Ogura?

We'd all die of cuteness if that happened.

YuiKaori must really like working together. They make up the best couple of Saki, had similar characters in NakaImo, voiced basically same person in Campione, same club in DxD, currently both mains in HenNeko. I wish them luck, both are great. I wonder what will happen with StylipS now that they lost their two more important members.

It's a shame but education is important.

Fingers cross that they graduate. =)

Is Ishihara still going to voice Aladdin in Magi's second season?

Chances are, yes she will.
