The October issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shōnen Sirius is revealing three more cast members on Monday for Yozakura Quartet ~Hana no Uta~, the new Yozakura Quartet television anime series, and the Yozakura Quartet ~Tsuki ni Naku~ original DVDs that will be packaged with upcoming volumes of Suzuhito Yasuda's Yozakura Quartet manga.

Yōko Hikasa (K-ON, Senki Zesshō Symphogear G) will play Nadeshiko Matsudaira (seen at far left), Nobuhiko Okamoto (A Certain Magical Index, Bakuman.) will play Rokkaku (center left), and Yūki Ono (Daily Lives of High School Boys, The Devil Is a Part-Timer!) will replace Hideki Tasaka from the original TV series as Eiji Shinozuka (far right).

Yozakura Quartet ~Hana no Uta~'s staff is different from the 2008 anime series, but the same as Tsuki ni Naku. Ryo-timo is designing the characters and directing the anime at Tatsunoko Productions. Kiyotaka Suzuki is serving as assistant director while Manabu Ishikawa is in charge of the scripts.
