BanG Dream! ★ English Cover Party!! (LOOKING FOR SINGERS/VAs, EDITORS, MIXERS, AND LYRICISTS!)
Kahori for Aya Maruyama - Voice Acting and Singing
On the outside, Aya is very cheerful, high-spirited, and bubbly. She is also very nice and has always been in love with idols. She is unselfish in her pursuits, helping others for the sake of being kind. (Taken from the BanG Dream! Wikia)
Aya's voice is high and cute as you'd expect of an idol, energetic and bubbly though not to same degree of Kasumi or Kokoro. She's got a friendly, medium-high voice that's not as pitched as Kokoro but not as midtoned as Kasumi. Find the middle ground and bring our your inner idol!
Her voice is soft and sweet, melodic and warm. She doesn't have the power the others pack but makes up for that in her great tone. Airy and, again, soft, but still clear as day. The music she sings is, as you guessed, idol-y. Cute and fun, but more on the sweet side than the bouncing crazy Hello, Happy World provides, just do your best to sing like a popstar and you've got it!

Sing "Karakuri Pierrot" using the lyrics below. You can also use the vocal guide in the google doc to reference how the lyrics are sang! (Lyrics by me, Pond!)
(First Verse)
It only took hours to realize that you flaked
Again, I’m all alone, but that’s not something new
The people on the streets, the clouds so far from bleak
They rain on my parade while laughing from their seats
(Bridge)
And it’s all treated like a game, but I don’t know the rules to play
It’s not about the rolling dice, my piece just doesn’t want to move
I told myself it was a fake, I never was the one to choose
But now I think we both know who’s the fool ‘round here
I’m just a puppet on your string!
(Chorus)
Ah! In my head! In my head! It’s all spinning in my head!
Ah! And I’m run-! And I’m running out of breath!
Oh! Woe is me! My heart breaks like we all knew it would
Just one more time ‘cause I’m a fool who just won’t learn
