I always find it odd how articles like this are approved, especially with no comments. I mean, I would place hard money on the fact that 99.9% of people have no idea who this person is or what game this is.

You are quite right most readers here would probably know little if anything about the Japanese anime and gaming industry. Even if some people here like anime most would wait for the Dub in their language so they would never be aware of the actual Japanese voices.

Even though I have very little understanding of the Japanese language I know enough to know if subtitles are actually following the gist of the story and on some occasions I actually prefer the Japanese voices with good subbing to the actual English (my primary language) dubbing.

One thing that I do know with Japanese anime market is that it is becoming more popular (maybe to do with cost saving) for the primary voice actresses (can also apply to voice actors) to actually sing the title and/or ending songs, although this does depend on the anime. This, in turn makes them very marketable in that they can do voice acting as well as singing. If you look at the Bio of Nana Mizuki https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... you will be able to see that she has done plenty of voice acting for anime and games since 1998.

She also has been one of the main voice actress/singer of the Senki Zessho Symphogear series (3 seasons) so it's no real surprise she was chosen as a voice actress/singer for Senki Zessho Symphogear XD UNLIMITED.
