The spring 2019 anime series Carole & Tuesday is moving right along and while we’re still waiting for it to hit on Netflix for overseas fans, casting continues on the Japanese side. The latest addition is Yuki Kaji as he’ll be taking on the role of Joshua in the episode that appeared today. We also got some updates on the song performance side as you can see in the tweet below that Lauren Dyson is doing the singing for Crystal, played by Maaya Sakamoto, while Thundercat is taking on the performance for Skip as played by Hiroki Yasumoto. Shinichiro Watanabe is supervising with Motonobu Hori directing based on the script by Aya Watanabe. Eisaku Kubonouchi is working on the character animation and concept and studio Bones is handling the animation production.
The project had done some global auditioning and that has resulted in two people being brought on with Nai Br.XX and Celeina Ann, who you can see below, handling the songs in the show as Carole and Tuesday respectively. Additional casting includes Miyuri Shimabukuro as Carole, Kana Ichinose as Tuesday, Sumire Uesaka as Angela, Akio Ohtsuka as Gus, Hiroshi Kamiya as Tao, Miyu Irino as Roddy, Mamoru Miyano as Ertegun, Maaya Sakamoto as Crystal, and Hiroki Yasumoto as Skip.

They want to make music.
Together, they feel like they just might have a chance.
