Fans of bikini model and occasional seiyuu Aya Hirano are in uproar over the embarrassing clothing malfunction which befell her in a recently published photo shoot.
The star model’s bikini was worn improperly, we hear. Swimwear aficionados are aghast at the error, and many wonder just how such an obvious blunder was allowed to slip through. Below you see the proper way of wearing the bikini in question.

Kind 2channers have rectified the error for her:
The impact of the obese model’s latest blunder has made her career of pouting in alluring swimwear more difficult to take seriously for many, to say nothing of the impact on “Aya Style”, though her essential charms seem to remain intact.
Perhaps she should explore a new career direction by pursuing her occasional stints as seiyuu?
The general opinion of Ms Hirano not being the sharpest knife in the drawer also seems to be getting reaffirmed by this news, although others convincingly point out that it is likely her stylist who deserves censure.
Whatever the case, it may well be something which only contributes to her mystique, and her fans are unlikely ever to perceive aught but forgivable faults in her, however overweight she is.
My apologies to those of you looking for a more stimulating slip out, rather than up. Content yourselves with this gallery instead.

I don't see the difference, damn my lack of skill.
ohhh no. observe the edited pic and the original pic. the strap to support her bust was exchanged with the strap for her shoulders.... you'll notice it in time... ^_^
Finally a comment which explains the difference... lol.... yeah, it looks kind of bad (THE SWIMSUIT) though Aya, i wish i knew girls who were twice as fat as she is....
darn, when are ppl really going to get that the looks are temporary, the ideas are what remains
F%^&! she is past perfectness the way she is, it would be even desireable for her to gain some weight, so when she's done being an idol, her boyfriend can grab her from somewhere without her falling at pieces...
I'm a great fan of Aya, but had never realized she had those selfworth problems, I really hope she gets the help she needs in order to leave those stupid ideas of "being fat", MAN!
Ouch... even if she MAY have did it on purpose and i stress the word "MAY", it looks so wrong.
Umm, wardrobe?! HELLO! ARE YOU THERE?!
wait a second, obese? what?
Why can you even interchange the straps in the first place?
You guys can't be serious. The so called "bikini disaster" was obviously photoshopped. It doesn't look real at all. How fucking stupid can people be.
No more stupid than you:

She admitted the mistake herself.
Took me a while to figure out what was wrong....
Though I don't see what's wrong with wearing it that way either...
Hmm..a universal bra..
meant to say bikini
It took me about a minute to figure out what the fuss was all about.
Wow. Just wow.
Just you wait, it'll become the fashionable thing to do with a bikini!

yeah soon everyone will be rockin the upside down bikini lol. i didn't notice at first either i love aya hirano regardless
Wow, what an idiot.
I don't know how people are attracted to air heads...
Wow. I think I'll just believe that it was done on purpose. (A rather weird purpose since the piece looks rather clunky this way, but it's still the better option.)
LMAO
The people who organized the photo shoot got confused
Does nobody knows how to put on a bikini during the photoshoot?
lol. at first i didn't see it. now i do. lol.
aya chan probably seldom wear a bikini. ^^;
LMAO. At least they didn't confuse the top half with the bottom half XD
At least she didn't wear it over her head.
id rather have her wear it over the head, i would laugh and have a hard on which hasnt happened in a long time
thanks for sharing...
why the hell didn't anyone say anything before her photo shoot?

Don't you find it suspicious how the bikini is the only difference in the images? Photoshop, no?
I concur. That's exactly what I was thinking as I read this.
How amazingly perceptive of you.
The original image was quite unPhotoshopped anyway - Hirano has said how embarassed she was over the affair.
Hm... I don't know if most of your Hirano Aya articles are in sarcasm or you are actually serious. lol.
How the fuck do they mess that up?
That's hilarious.
I had the same problem as gordon - first time I read it through I honestly didn't catch what was going on - bit slow there ^^;
Looks good either way. I suspect the stylists knew exactly what they were doing.
Keep up the silly posts about Aya. People who don't like her will seek any opportunity to criticize. But I know you love her.
Next she'll be wearing her panties as a hat.
(And how about a pigtails gallery? They look awfully good on Aya!)
I think it looks very weird, especially in the second picture D: How did they not notice that? It can be seen easily from the upper part being too large and the cups part being of the wrong shape ^^;
There was an anecdote on 2ch by a person whose friends worked with swimwear; they were in hysterics, we hear. If it was intentional, it was ill advised.
I am most curious as to what her reaction is...
Aya has been pretty experimental with her clothes in the past (e.g. wearing a single earring in various shots of her DVD "Love Letter"), so I think this bikini thing is done on purpose. It looks good either way - although I did LOL when I figured out what was "wrong".
yeah same here.i'm so slow.it took me like 5 minutes to figure it out
I wasn't able to identify the wrong thing till I saw the edited one. I did LOL too.
LOL. Maybe she wants to start a new fashion trend.
On the other hand, the wider straps supporting her bust were probably much more comfortable than the tiny strings which cut into the shoulder-blades.
She has no bust to support.
Whatever would we do without our 2ch brethren?
