Also in the cast is Mayu Yamaguchi, currently in "Under Girls" status in

Just finished watching the 10 episode series "Omotesando High
School Chorus" with Kyoka chan in a supporting role to stars
Kyoko Yoshine, Jun Shison, and Miyu Yoshimoto

Kyoka chan turned Sweet Sixteen
during the filming

She was in lots of scenes, but did not
have a lot of lines in playing the character
"The mysterious Shigezane Kiriboshi", but she did
get one highlight where she was extremely sensitive
to the presence of a ghost:

Aoi Wakana appeared in the series, and although Aoi chan and
Kyoka didn't have any scenes together, this is at least the third project that
the two girls have worked on together:

"Have a Song on Your Lips", the recent chorus themed film
starring Yui Aragaki saw Kyoka and Aoi working together

Someone on the interwebs compared
Kyoka to NMB48's Miyuki Watanabe

Some very nice fan art:

Sakura Gakuin grad Hinata Sato worked together with Kyoka Shibata a few years ago
in the series 'Hagane no Onna' which starred Michiko Kichise as the home room
teacher who cared about the kids.

Here is Hinata and Ryoka getting together again,
when Kyoka came to see Hinata's musical.

Now, as they appeared back then...
