Still waiting for S Rare Uzuki Shimamura
One kinda wonders how a cell phone game can garner a huge following, especially when most of the gameplay is collectomania. Well, the game kinda exploded and has so much participation, they're having trouble keeping the servers up and running.
So, you might have heard that music CDs were planned, and finally the contents of said CDs have been revealed. Before, we only knew who was getting a CD, and that they'd have a song and talk track each. Now, we get cover art, song names, and voice actresses!

So, without further ado, I'll go over the CDs. I don't think NBGI will mind if I use their pics, so I'll use them to illustrate.
Rin Shibuya (渋谷 凛)
CV: Ayaka Fukuhara (福原 綾香)
Song: Never say never (Never say never)
Ayaka Fukuhara: Other Notable Roles
(None)
I'd go out on a limb and say she's the most popular character in Cinderella Girls, and I think that she'll be making an appearance in an actual console Im@s game if they decide to put new faces in it.
Honestly though, her voice actress Ayaka hasn't really done anything noteworthy, and this seems to be her first voice role. Her personal comment on her profile page even says she's new to the industry. Either way, I think we can say she won the lottery. Congrats!
Anzu Futaba (双葉 杏)
CV: Hiromi Igarashi (五十嵐 裕美)
Song: Anzu's Song (あんずのうた)
Hiromi Igarashi: Other Notable Roles
Yuuka Koyama from Baka and Test
Hira Takanashi from Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!
Roll from Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom
There is exactly one family household who actually bear the Futaba name in real life (as spelled here)... and I suppose this means the continued existence of the family name all depends on Anzu.
...
Oh wow. They're doomed.
... Or they would have been, but since Anzu's also one of the most popular idols in Cinderella Girls, it actually looks like their family name will at least be safe for a bit.
Hiromi Igarashi isn't particularly famous or anything, but it looks like her career is actually gaining speed if the amount of named roles she has compared to last year is any indication.
Kanako Mimura (三村 かな子)
CV: Yuka Ootsubo (大坪 由佳)
Song: Chocolate Tiara (ショコラ・ティアラ)
Yuka Ootsubo: Other Notable Roles
(None)
Okay, at this point, if I said that Kanako was one of the most popular characters in Cinderella Girls, I think I'd be a broken record, so just assume this holds true for everyone. Fans apparently like to poke fun at her weight, which is... 114.4 lbs. Strangely, she's one of the more heavier idols, not that that's heavy even if you're just five feet tall.
... Though I really don't recognize the roles her voice actress has had.
Kaede Takagaki (高垣 楓)
CV: Saori Hayami (早見 沙織)
Song: A Wind of Love (こいかぜ)
Saori Hayami: Other Notable Roles
Ayase Aragaki from Ore no Imouto
Lei-Lei from Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
Nana Kureo from Weiss Schwarz Portable
You know, every time I see Kaede, I think of two things. First, her thing with cards reminds me a lot of Yukari Horiguchi from Shikigami no Shiro 2. Second, every time I look at her microphone, I mistake it for a warhammer of some sort. That makes her a priestess of... some nature deity, I'd imagine.
Probably the most famous seiyuu on the list, Saori's been a very prolific seiyuu in recent years. She can play soft-spoken characters, but on the opposite side, her voice can be sharp and insulting as well... though even when it is, you still can't get enough of it.
Rika Jougasaki(城ヶ崎 莉嘉)
CV: Nozomi Yamamoto (山本 希望)
Song: DOKIDOKI Rhythm, or Heartbeat Rhythm (DOKIDOKIリズム)
Nozomi Yamamoto: Other Notable Roles
Aoi Uno from Galgun
Yukimura Kusunoki from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
Okay, I didn't know Rika was popular at all, but she's getting her own CD. Her older sister Mika, on the other hand... might wait until the next season of Cinderella Girls CDs or something.
Nozomi seems to be a relative newcomer to the scene, most of her roles dating no later than last year. I really don't know much more than that sadly, but most of these voice actresses aren't really well known. Point of trivia: Both her, Ayaka Fukuhara, and Yui Horie all belong to the same production company, VIMS.
