In 2016, Ueda played the role of Hane Sakura, the protagonist of the anime series Bakuon!!;[15] she and her co-stars performed the show's ending theme "Buon! Buon! Ride On!!" (ぶぉん! ぶぉん! らいど・おん!, Buon! Buon! Raido On!).[16] She was also cast as Lily Shirogane in Aikatsu Stars!,[17] Mira Yurisaki in Dimension W,[18] Sophie Noelle in Kuromukuro,[19] and Mallow in Pokémon: Sun & Moon.[20] That same year, she made her debut as a singer, releasing the mini-album RefRain on December 21.[21]
In 2017, Ueda played the roles of Hiromi Maiharu in Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club and Shiori Shinomiya in Sakura Quest.[22][23] She also made an appearance at New Jersey's AnimeNEXT event in April.[24]
