Little Busters Ecstasy cast
Key has announced the full seiyuu cast for Little Busters Ecstasy and on first glance every single seiyuu from the original seems to have been switched out, but it appears that most, if not all of them are just the same cast switching to their eroge seiyuu names.
Also Kazane is voicing the new character. She just managed to appear in both Key and Leaf’s latest game in the same year.

Why do voice actresses use different names for eroge?

From what I read, it’s often required to satisfy their talent agencies. Just a precaution in case anime sponsors (particularly for children’s shows) don’t want a name attached to hardcore porn.

Yeah basically what Skua said. They have to care for their image, and according to a few eroge seiyuu, it’s really difficult to climb up into voicing normal anime once you’re affiliated with eroge.
There have also been cases where seiyuu use a different name when they accept a job without going through their talent agency
Also some of them use different names to organize themselves between the kind of job that they’re doing.
And… there are seiyuu that use multiple names in the eroge world too, like Kazane who has 5 different names or Gotou Yuko who has 9 different names, and there is at least one person who uses more than 10 names. These people probably have their own reasons, or something. I’m not sure myself.
