Aya Maruyama

Aya Maruyama is the vocalist of Pastel*Palettes in BanG Dream!. She begins as an idol trainee who has repeatedly failed auditions before finally receiving a chance to debut with the agency-created band.

Aya Maruyama's long path to debut

Hardworking, sincere, and emotionally transparent, Aya wants to become an idol who inspires people. She is easily flustered and not naturally glamorous, but her persistence becomes her defining strength.

Persistence, performance, and Pastel*Palettes

Aya develops as a singer, dancer, and public performer while learning to work with bandmates who began with different motives. Her friendship with Chisato Shirasagi, Hina Hikawa, Maya Yamato, and Eve Wakamiya turns a manufactured project into a genuine group.
