17LIVE Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Jean Honghui; URL: https://jp.17.live/), which operates the live streaming app "17LIVE (Iichina)", Japan's largest of its kind, announces that it will hold the "Second 'Marimari Mary' Voice Actor Audition to Commemorate Release of Second Song 'Kimi ka Kimi'" to select voice actors for the anime channel "Marimari Mary", popular on YouTube and TikTok. The audition will begin on July 1, 2026 (Wed).

"17LIVE" hosts various collaboration projects and events daily with the aim of providing enjoyment through live streaming to both existing streamers (live broadcasters) and those who have never streamed before.

This second "Marimari Mary" voice actor audition is being held to commemorate the release of the second song "Kimi ka Kimi" and to provide an opportunity for streamers aspiring to be voice actors to realize their dreams. The previous audition event received a great deal of positive feedback, leading to the decision to hold a second event.

The "Second 'Marimari Mary' Voice Actor Audition to Commemorate Release of Second Song 'Kimi ka Kimi'" is an in-app event where active "17LIVE" streamers can participate, including V-streamers (streamers who broadcast using a virtual avatar) and those who do not show their faces, such as those using costumes or mascots. A total of four streamers who rank high in the event and are selected through the audition will be able to appear as voice actors in a special episode of "Marimari Mary". Furthermore, one of the top-ranked streamers will have a custom illustration created based on their likeness for use during their appearance. It is planned that at least one of the four voice actors selected will be a V-streamer.

Please pay attention to this audition event that will determine which "17LIVE" streamers will appear as voice actors in the popular YouTube anime, which has returned with an enhanced format.
