New Bromide Rarity and "NPCs" To Be Added on January 31st

Geechs put out a news post in the game announcing new additions that will be implemented on January 31st.

Details about the new Bromide rarity:

-it will be the highest rarity, so higher soul and better skills than the current Bromide's skills
-the card dialogue for this rarity will be voiced on the homescreen
-there will also be dialogue during gameplay, like when the Bromide's skill is activated
-this new rarity will only be available from the Super (Melodisian) Gacha, not the Love Gacha or Ticket Gachas

With the "NPC" addition, these will be things you'll be able to choose as support before songs. I speculate that these will be fake players you can choose if your friend list is lacking in a certain color or you're waiting for support cooldown to end or something.

As for the new Bromide rarity, it is not currently known if these will only be for anime bands, or if they'll cast voice providers for characters who don't already have them. It is also not known if tie-up bands will get these. I would be very surprised if all characters can receive this rarity and still be voiced, as that sounds like it'd be hard in the case of people who are no longer in some of the tie-up groups.

Three of the five Kamen Joshi members who the Beans are based on have graduated from the group, Rockwell left Silhouette from the Skylit some months ago, and A Crow Is White recently announced they'd be disbanding. Because of these circumstances, I'm skeptical tie-up bands will be included in this, but it'd be cool if they pulled it off and managed to get these people to still provide the voices for their SB69 characters.
