Aya Hirano’s latest appearance on a trashy variety show has prompted much comment amongst her remaining “lifeliners.”
The show featured a ranking of the celebrities present in terms of their ability to extravagantly waste money in ways even otaku can only aspire to – Hirano’s reaction to seeing a fellow guest who spends ¥140,000 a week on fine dining:
Her reaction to another creepy celebrity who spent ¥800,000 in one day on gambling:
Naturally, Hirano doesn’t feature at all in this ranking – she is just too poor.
She is fed some tuna:
Her former career as seiyuu is highlighted:
One of her fans spotted her dining alone:
She revealed that she mostly eats alone, prompting this exchange:
Creepy celebrity: “Don’t you have any friends?”
Hirano: “I can count them on my fingers…”
Whether this includes all her older male companions is a matter of some speculation.

This is the sadness of the modern condition. We're all really just alone even when we're in a crowd.
to tell the truth,I have no friend at all.
Are you expecting sympathy? (and how would you know if you got it?)
So, Aya qualify for an actress of "Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai".
Down Town isn't trashy.
hmmm Aya needs some love :\
hahaha yea...hikikomori like me and some of us dun really have friends either...hahaha
while normal ppl have got countless buddies and a few true friends, hiki have got a few buddies and zero friends ^^ ne~
Hate it that they fuck with kona-chan
hmmm, looks like a charming cute girl to me, so wutz with all the hoopla?
Hirano: “I can count them on my fingers…”
The middle finger perhaps?
Your fingers/hands are always your closest friend. No exceptions.
HA! to tell number of my friends i don't even need a hand!! because i don't have any. real friends are overrated.
I'll be your friend!
She really looks like one of my best friends. o.o
I can kind of believe her. I know a guy who is a fairly big name musician. I happen to have known him since just shortly after the release of his first album, but I'd never call us friends, despite occasional emails and backstage passes. He told me once that after you become popular, it's hard to make "real" friends because things get so complicated. You tend to stay close to either old buddies from school or the people who were around you while you were struggling to make it.
Because after you become successful, you get many new "friends", who are mostly just looking for a way to get something from you.
Poor Aya, she seems to be taking it rather well though.. but no wonder why she was losing her hair and stuff..
I can count my friends on my dick.
So I take it you can count the number of herpies and other STDs that are slowly eating away your rotting penis?
Gotta have sex to catch STDs, so I doubt he got any...
You can count?
Ergo, you have one very small friend.
her fingers ARE her only friends
How is Downtown DX trashy? Idiot!
Hamada and Matsumoto rules! Bitch!
I can be her friend.. if she wants:)
This is her agent, she's ecstatic about your offer.
anyone youtube link? (or something)
Hey, it's God, god and the fangirl, the child with a crush on her female partner, the otaku and the shy twin, and Little Green. Don't recognize the other one though.
People forget that even celebrities are human, I really think she shouldn't care about the people who constantly bash on her though. Considering the only thing that satisfied them is not her, but the thought of her being their own virgin bride or some crazy shit like that.
I'll never forget the reaction to a freaken love plus fake character saying she got wet.
Quite true, also one thing that I find interesting is that in the western society there are several celebraties who have done things that could be considered pretty hate-worthy yet there are several people who still admire them. Also the idea of some "fans" shunning someone and badmouthing them over their private live is pretty unreasonable I would say. I mean there ARE only human, its perfectly normal for someone to have been in a relationship or even have secrets they wouldn't mention. If anything I was surprised when Aya announced her history of male interaction, not in a negative way but impressed she could confess something like that.
This comming from an Otaku I don't hate Aya for what she has done and think it's pretty unfair the treatment she has been given because of it.
Though I can't really complain about being able to count my friend on my fingers since I too can do that, well in terms of TRUE FRIENDS that is.
So what? My only friend is my computer! Bah...
sabah?
I think this was the most sincere think said.
she looked really cute when she was chomping on that tuna slice. Actually, she looked really cute the whole time.
poor aya-chan..at least as a friends stick by your friends no matter how screw up the situation is..you can't call that a friends if they only be there for you when you're at your fame then dissapear when you need them the most..fuck that kind of people..
What's sad is that she's already passes her peak as a seiyuu a couple years ago and she's only 22. However it doesn't make it right to speak ill of her since there are people with real problems out there.
I TOO CAN COUNT MY FRIENDS ON MY FINGERS, ON A SINGLE HAND!! :D
The Japanese are nuts, there is so much "pressure" and demands on their celebrities. >< ... no not her acting voice, her normal speaking voice, it's so "squeaky".
I would probably go nuts if I had to converse with her on a daily basis.
I think American English speaking women has the most squeaky voices in the world. Think of that family mother in That 70s show, or in Marge Simpson, now that`s squeaky! Worst is still Sarah Palin, she is one crazy bitch.
Japanese girls and women`s voices sound very sweet to my ears. My native language is not English.
Aya Hirano speaks quite naturally as i hear it.
I wrote a long reply but the comment system lost it. @#$%
Marge Simpson? I think you meant Lisa, Marge is the mother with the nasally voice.
Anyway, I think Miss Hirano is "restraining" herself a bit more these days - she IS a voice actress.

She sound much more "normal".
Can't find the earlier interview /w Matsumoto and Hamada when she was just starting out any more. /sadface
But this will do:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7twXE7VpEbg
So squeaky and high pitched.
Thanks for your comment. I only wanted to say we hear voices differently depending what our original native languages are and how they are pronounced.
I believe most Americans think Sarah Palin sounds awful?
My native tongue is Finnish, it has a lot of similarity to Japanese, but Japanese women generally speak with much more cute voice. It attracts me! I still see them as intelligent and mature as their ages should tell, of course.
My fav voice just now: Aki Toyosaki!
OK the comment system here doesn't like certain symbols.
missing:
I not really that big of a fan of hers, but I feel she does good work.
And she is pretty.
Her voice on the other hand ...
well...
you know... i think aya-chan being humiliated in this show...
can anyone find this particular segment of the show?
hmmm maybe she often look down people? or having a bad personnality? or maybe people or jealous or her beauty?
anyway~ "friend" 1 is more than enough, if it's true friend
You know, I don't really like Aya because of how she obliterated her seiyuu career, but I can't stop feeling sorry for her when I see these news....
Sounds like a sad thing really. Not that I'm that surprised.
So the poor thing was cradle robbed by a cradle robber. She didn't have a child hood and now its starting to show. Oh well, learn to cook non greasy food and quick stuff that only takes 1 pan and quit using 25 piece table sets for every meal.
Oh btw, I am glad she can at least count on her fingers .
She isn't good looking, and her voice acting is terrible. But then again, most Japanese women (unless mixed) look like men. Kayo Satoh is great example of a Japanese woman.
obvious troll is obvious
i lol'd that ppl took it seriously
She's pretty cute...Although not in these pictures so much.
Her voice acting isn't too bad..
Anon 5:56: Get your eyes checked.
More for us. I married a Japanese woman.
