Yumiri Hanamori's most recent credit is UN:Me, a soul triage adventure from Shueisha Games. She voices all four souls inside the protagonist, a role that led the team to record each soul on separate days rather than switch between them in one session. The team pushed the release from an earlier date to 2027 and added motion capture after her performance. A trial version with her recorded voice is playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026, where producer Taiichi Kawai, planner and scenario writer Takuya Yamanaka, and director Shun Sasaki discussed the project.
Two July television roles sit alongside that game work. In The World Is Dancing, she performs vocal insert songs as Oniyasha, and the series premieres on July 2 on Tokyo MX and KBS Kyoto, with additional broadcasts starting July 3. In Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, she joins as Hana Ichinose, and that anime premieres July 7 across AT-X, Tokyo MX, MBS, BS NTV, and Nagasaki Broadcasting Company.
Coverage also records a departure. Hanamori stepped down from the role of Hitomi Koshigaya in Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc., and Mariko Higashiuchi takes over the part for the second season, which premieres July 4 on NTV. The season adapts the final arc of the manga, which concluded in July 2025 with 160 chapters, and Toshinori Fukushima directs at J.C.Staff, replacing first-season director Masahiro Hiraoka.
