Popular yuri seiyuu couple 伊藤静 / Shizuka Ito and 生天目仁美 / Hitomi Nabatame have a CD scheduled for release which includes a recording of their “marriage ceremony”.
The lesbian duo, operating as a unit, and long since a public item (in fact they can be seen discussing the fitting of wedding dresses on their blogs) and seemingly profiting from it, will release the CD as the latest in their long running “Yabou Jinja on CD” series (they also have related web radio showings). It is titled 幸せのカタチ / Shiwase no Katachi / The Shape of Happiness.
Perhaps as notable as the fact of their hankering after same-sex marriage is the huge variety of A-rank guests featuring as guests on the CD, including Miki Ito, Rina Sato, Mamiko Noto, Ryou Hirohashi, Ami Koshimizu, etc.
The CD is due for release on December 22nd.
An excellent way of promoting an otherwise unremarkable seiyuu unit?

Yurilicious!
Wait wut? I didn't know the seiyuu for Nadie of El Cazador was actually a lesbian. How fitting and truely awesome XD
Is that legal in Japan?
Lesbians O_O
Huh, I thought same sex marriages were illegal. Unless of course its not really a marriage but rather an act to make money.
Wonderful~!
Great, next they need to work in a eroge where their characters have plenty of yuri scenes together.
Or does such thing exist already?
Hrm... I don't think Tama-nee and Yuma really interacted with each other in ToHeart2, and I can't think of any other game off the top of my head with the two of them.
wow!they're really lesbians?I really love their voicess.It was a shocking for me!!!
Are they really yuri? Their wiki article mention no such things :o
They are, but the English Wiki looks to be a lift of the Japanese version, and that version is completely worshipful of celebrities and never reproduces anything of interest about the people concerned.
The only awkward part is that they are both voicing characters in the next Hayate series, who are sisters... ;)
Betcha UNICEF'll be going after THEM next...
Yeah, guess UNICEF would...
Whoa, I had no idea they were lesbians! This is really shocking, but if they really love each other, then it's all right.
It's like Hinagiku and Yukiji from "Hayate no Gotoku" getting married, lol.
yuri incest?
Yuri makes the world go round~
It's called fanservice, people. Watch out for a quickie divorce on December 23 :P
I second j1m0ne. It's just fanservice and a promotion theme for MikoRaji Volume 9. But hey... If it works for marketing, then why not. :p
Though I'm still amused that Naba-sama and especially Shizu-sama have remarked before that they would "seriously" date girls if they actually found a girl who would reciprocate their feelings.
And scandals are TH3 WIN!!
Omg.. chou-kawaii!!
Yeah, I don't think they're really a couple (lesbians? maybe, but doubtful). I read that many voice actresses do this in their radio shows and all with their respective best seiyuu friends.
"Popular yuri seiyuu couple 伊藤静 / Shizuka Ito and 生天目仁美 / Hitomi Nabatame have a CD scheduled for release which includes a recording of their characters' marriage ceremony"
Fixed.
It's a radio show about two miko working parttime at a shrine.
Go and read their blogs - they seem to be taking it rather seriously (at least for the sake of marketing). I changed the wording slightly to be clearer all the same.
I think you're taking their blogs too seriously, considering that these are blogs by actors... Besides, you really think she was serious when she wrote "結婚しちゃうんだZEっ(*゜▽゜ノノ゛☆"? (Though I'm picturing those two as Marisa and Alice now because of that XD) In addition to marketing, it's something to get seiyuu "into the right mood" ("雰囲気雰囲気♪").
They've been working this angle for some time, which is whay at the very least it is some committed marketing.
UNICEF disaproves of this.
On another note, UNICEF disaproves sex in the missionary position.
Because missionaries tend to give it to small boys up the behind?
delicious yuri and yes i approve their same-sex advocate =3
maybe they so serious on yuri voice over that they became lesbian itself...
If those two ever read this (Naba and Ito) two words: "Connecticut" and "Massachussets"
If they is an Anicon on those places and both of them are the guest...rest assured they will go legit and get married there :3
zOMG! Does this mean Hinagiku-chan got married? *jumps out of the window*
To her sister, no less. XD
Arcueid with Akiha as well :p
...That's hot.
Now, what 'bout Ciel, Kohaku, Hisui, Aoko, Ren?
A yuricat is fine, too.
Let's not forget the Yellow Roses Sisterhood (sorry Yoshino, no luck for you).
OMG I loved Hinagiku from Hayate >.<
and WOW she married her sister?
Anyone interested in the second season anymore?
This is just marketing in Japan and seem like they doing quite well with it. Oh well, yeah! Yuri! :3
It damn well better be true.
Wait...what? >_>?
Ok so the marriage thing seems to be a marketing ploy, but these two seiyuu are really lesbians?
Well, now I know what that nagging feeling was in the back of mind about Itou, Shizuka.
