https://animeanime.jp/article/2023/07/13/78585.html – Rie Tanaka’s role as Kaniko in Season 2 of the Rail Romanesque TV anime series will begin airing on TOKYO MX in October 2023: Kaniko is not the usual Rie Tanaka adult woman, oneesan role, Kaniko being the main character in this loli train anime. 【Rail Romanesque】Kaniko (CV: Rie Tanaka) – “80m Big Fountain”／【レヱル・ロマネスク】かにこ (CV.田中理恵) 〜『80メートルの大噴水』- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Q4dMswzxc .

First, (マルロ, Maruro) is romanized as Marlo: https://jp.mercari.com/item/m70587718552 . Second, Marlo is 801. Whoever the golden blonde girl is in the key visual for the upcoming Rail Romanesque 2 TV anime series is 512: https://twitter.com/kiha1000/status/1679423815841882115 . They apparently represent two different locomotives. Only the front girl on the bottom right in the key visual is Kaniko for certain. We’ll have to wait for more information to learn who the other six girls besides Kaniko in the key visual are, and who voices them, probably from the Rail Romanesque official website, https://railromanesque.jp/, and official Twitter account, https://twitter.com/rail_romanesque .

In addition to Tokyo MX, the Rail Romanesque 2 TV anime series will air across Japan on AT-X: https://www.at-x.com/program/detail/17612 . “AT-X[1] is a Japanese anime television network owned by AT-X, Inc.[2] AT-X, Inc. was founded on June 26, 2000 as a subsidiary of TV Tokyo Medianet, which is (in turn) owned by TV Tokyo. Its headquarters are in Minato, Tokyo. AT-X network has been broadcasting anime via satellite, cable, and IPTV since December 24, 1997.” — AT-X (TV network): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT-X_(TV_network) . AT-X broadcast schedule: starts on Thursday, November 23, 2023; every Thursday at 22:16; every week (Monday) 10:16; every week (Wednesday) 16:16; 14-minute slots (2 episodes at a time).
Japanese fans who don’t live in the Tokyo metropolitan area and nearby prefectures now can watch Rail Romanesque 2 on Japanese television. I recall reading some complaining that they wouldn’t be able to do so as Tokyo MX only covers Tokyo and nearby prefectures. AT-X covers the entire nation of Japan, so they can now watch it on AT-X.

This is Rie Tanaka voicing Kaniko from Rail Romanesque in an ASMR binaural drama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Q4dMswzxc .
Since they announced Rie Tanaka as the voice of Kaniko in the Rail Romanesque 2 TV anime back in December 2020, Kaori Fukuhara tweeted on October 13, 2022 that she's voicing Maruro in Rail Romanesque: https://twitter.com/FukuharaKaori/status/1580464867382726657 . Expect to hear Fukuhara voicing Maruro too in the Rail Romanesque 2 TV anime series.
https://animeanime.jp/imgs/p/jtKDOVlKAvjRrNw8SXAVejagI61Nrq_oqaqr/599329.jpg – Rie Tanaka's character Kaniko is standing in front, toward the right, the little loli girl with pink(!?) hair and twintails. Kaori Fukuhara's character Maruro, the little loli girl with blonde hair, is standing slightly behind Kaniko, toward the left.
If Kaniko from Rail Romanesque indeed has pink hair, how many pink haired characters has Rie Tanaka voiced in anime and video games? Let's see now… Lacus Clyne and Meer Campbell in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED TV anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny TV anime series, and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom theatrical anime movie; Simca in Air Gear TV anime series; Bianchi in Katekyo Hitman REBORN! TV anime series; Cáo Zhèn in Houchi Shoujo 〜Hyakkaryouran no Moehime-tachi〜 video game; Nine in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle (Version 2) and BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War video games…

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F057nsAaYAEu0jw?format=png (bigger, better image) – Rie Tanaka's character Kaniko is standing in front, toward the right, the little loli girl with pink(!?) hair and twintails. Kaori Fukuhara's character Maruro, the little loli girl with blonde hair, is standing slightly behind Kaniko, toward the left.
They changed character designers. Kaniko and Maruro's character designs in the Rail Romanesque 2 TV anime series look different for Maruro within the past year, and for Kaniko for almost the past three years.
People are wondering why Rie Tanaka is dyeing her hair pink: https://twitter.com/tanakarie . Apparently, it isn't just because she's voicing Lacus Clyne in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom anime film, scheduled to open in movie theaters across Japan on January 26, 2024. It may also be because she's voicing Kaniko, the protagonist, in the upcoming Rail Romanesque 2 TV anime series, which airs in Japan from October 2023 to presumably the end of December 2023.
https://lain.bgm.tv/pic/cover/l/8e/d2/445658_v66G1.jpg – This is an image of the new Rail Romanesque Origin game that is also coming out. The girl pictured is Hachiroku. As I explained in my earlier Kaniko binaural audio selection video uploaded on Nov 23, 2022 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Q4dMswzxc&lc=Ugx8W2nnKIFwN4EiYBx4AaABAg – Atsumi Tanezaki (Anya in SPY×FAMILY, Lady Nagant in My Hero Academia, Meteion / Endsinger in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, etc.) voiced Hachiroku under a pseudonym in the 2016 Maitetsu adult visual novel. Rail Romanesque is a safe-for-all-ages spin-off of Maitetsu. If she's voiced, I wonder if Tanezaki will reprise her role as Hachiroku?
