Saaya's plushie is named Lionmaru!
They even interact sometimes:

-Hey! Your drumming's gotten rusty!
With a drumstick, Saaya whacks the mean (in her mind) Lionmaru-kun on the head with a *gochin*.

A homage to her seiyuu's nickname!

Today, 3/3, is BetaSaaya's birthday!

She uses three drumsticks! Her future nickname is "Santōryū“ (Three Swords Style), a swordfighting style where the fighter wields three swords, one in each hand and one in the mouth!

According to Arisa, it's because Kasumi was 15 years old!

Afterwards, she reduced the price to 10,015 yen.

In the anime/game canon, Arisa demanded 300,000 yen before lowering it to 540 yen.
