In 2013, Kusuda joined the idol unit Tabikare Girls, which released its first single that November. Kusuda released a CD on November 6, 2013, together with a new JTB Music Unit called “Tabi College Girls” (タビカレガールズ), together with Yui Watanabe, Rikako Yamaguchi, Rika Nishimori, and Mami Sumi.
She is also as a member of a mini unit in Love Live! project series, Lily White, alongside Riho Iida (voice of Rin Hoshizora) and Suzuko Mimori (voice of Umi Sonoda).[4]
