An source familiar with taxis is suggesting Aya Hirano’s recent taxi abduction episode must be a fabrictaion, as Japanese taxi doors simply do not function in the way she describes.
The counter-explanation, from some random Twitter user:
I do car maintenance. The taxis running now have a safety feature where the passenger door won’t open from the inside if the car is moving. Can the content of her tweet really be true?
If it’s really true Aya should name the company in case others find themselves in the same situation.
It is of course common knowledge that the opening and closing of Japanese taxi doors is normally controlled by the driver, so there is not much to doubt about this account.
It is instead being suggested that the episode was either a complete fabrication, or else her version of her undergoing a fit of the crazies in the cab…

Can't wait for her next Alien Abduction tweet..
Aya, really need to stop twittering
Um, she opened the door when the taxi stopped at the red light. But then, the car drove along with the door opened.
Not she opened the door when the car is running.
A car is running even when it is stopped, moron.
Good thing it doesn't say running then:
"the passenger door won’t open from the inside if the car is moving."
Key word being moving. If it's stopped at a red light it's not moving.
Thanks, Anon. This entire post is worthless since this maintenance dude didn't even seem to read her original statement.
beside there are also non officials taxis... (dunno about japan)... beside i flag a taxi down one time to go home after club, taxi driver told me to say i called him from station if police asked.. i was like ok ¬_¬ that doesnt sound dodgy at all... then it DID get stopped by police... so i was like ¬_¬ yeeeee, i didnt call for him... so i guess there are people pretend to be taxi drivers as well :/
The safety feature in all taxis would not have allowed the vehicle to drive off whilst the car door is open in the first place.
If the GPS in the cab was not working, other things in the cab might not have been working as well.
These whores love the attention, until the interested people are too close to them.
Yea it said she opened at a red light, but why would he then drive off, why didnt she get out when she first opened it and if the car wasnt going fast enough to push the door shut through speed, why didnt she just get out.
"Yea it said she opened at a red light, but why would he then drive off, why didnt she get out when she first opened it and if the car wasnt going fast enough to push the door shut through speed, why didnt she just get out."
That made no sense whatsoever.
she sounds like one of those girls that talks shit all day and everyone hates. the one that tries too hard to be noticed.
D) All of the above and everything else you can imagine.
Looks like you left out one...
Do we know for certain that she has a brain tumor? Then again, she has The Stupid...that's also a brain tumor, right?
It seems to me that she's seeking something. Attention is the generalized concept, but I'm not going to deny the possibility it really happened in some form. It could have been a taxi impersonation, but that's a bit of a manga-based thought. Attention is too general to actual mean anything. Everyone seeks attention, she wants something more specific.
Either way, she seems to be finding out the sort of wiccan mentality regarding sensationalizing and lying. Quite simply, what you do comes back to you three fold. If she is doing this for selfish reasons, or without integrity, she's seeing the backlash. It happens almost like clockwork. She needs to gain some self-awareness or she's going to bury herself.
Voice acting may lead to some pretty ass backwards fans, but that doesn't mean she has to consult them on everything.
@johnhayabusa
I wouldn't go that far to suggest that, but seriously, she needs to stop sensationalizing and creating pitiable rumors about herself.
I wouldn't ever parade my chronic diseases to the world, but then she ain't me, so.....
And yeah, like @Ocha said, she needs to stop twitting. She's still a nice person with a good career in voice acting with a big forehead issue, but she needs to stop making herself look even more retarded, by her own or agent's choice....
What cabby would expect his customers to leave the vehicle during a red-light stop? Maybe the light just turned green and he didn't notice the door was open. And maybe Aya was a little drunk and misinterpreted everything.
Yoshii-kun, I also forgot E:
E) The taxi driver must have banged her during the ride so hard, she probably forgot what really went down.
I believe that it happened but I also believe that both Aya & that dumb ass random Twitter user are slightly changing the story for whatever the reason rather it is due to being ghost white at the moment or pissed off or whatever...meh...
Hang in there Aya, something will give at some point or whatever...
Now now there is no need for hate mail.
In any case, as fellow humanbeings, we should feel lucky that nothing major happen, like taxi driver arrested or Aya hurt herself while trying to get out and ect.
B, right?!
What on earth is going on with Aya Hirano? I wonder if:
A) Her twitter account has been hacked.
B) Her brain tumor has taken full control of her mind and body.
C) She may be drunk before she got inside the taxi cab.
Die bitch! DIE!
she's just an attention whore...someone should really abduct her now, and tell her to deal with it...she'd prob piss her pants :))
And tweet it!
Or stop tweets such lies xD
once a celebrity has started to use twitter they cannot stop, we just have to wait for them to self-destruct
Her popularity is fading... like her brain
Stop feeding the attention whore. Aya is done with.
I'm surprised people still read her tweets.
Maybe it was her agency who forced her to do all this...
more aya bullshit "news"
how pathetic
She is just a Japanese version of Lindsey Lohan.. just ignore her and she will go away.
Please just go to a porn addition.
It was obvious, shes a idiot
An source...
Sounds awkward.
Aya lied? @#$%@#$%!!!!
No, she didn´t lie... at least in her little allucinated mind the incident really happens... poor cab driver...
Did not see the original story, but I have a question: Scene You are being kidnapped... do you: A: Call the police on your phone, or B: Twitter about it to people who won't do anything to help you?
Also, you people hop in a taxi where you can not open the doors?? ARE YOU FREAKING MAD!!!!! In Australia we hear stories on the news a few times a year where taxi drivers have kidnapped and raped passengers. Doors like that would be a godsend for them.
"Did not see the original story"
Which is why you seem like a moron now. She DID call the cops, while in the taxi.
and comparing Australia to Japan? From what I hear, Japan is a much safer country than most. You don't always have to worry about being robbed, raped or murdered.
Isn't Australia the complete opposite to Japan when it comes to criminals?
Interestingly enough all the taxi drivers in australia who have raped people are immigrants from India.
fucking indians.
@Anon 20:12:
Answer 1: Unfortunately, there ARE people stupid enough to choose option (B) and Twitter about it instead of choosing the much-wiser option (A).
Answer 2: Japanese seem to accept other-people-having-power-over-them to a degree which would be unacceptable in more individual-freedom-loving countries.
Question: What are the gun control laws like in Oz? If Japan was like where I live, a taxi-driver kidnapping-the-customer scenario would go like this:
Driver: *Locks passenger in and starts driving to a deserted location*
Passenger: "Hey. Where are you taking me? Stop the cab. Stop the cab, right now."
Driver: *Says nothing, and keeps driving*
Passenger: *Pulls handgun and fires a round through the windshield* "MAH-TAY, motherfucker!"
The doors don't open from the inside? If that ain't perfect for an abduction I don't know what is.
WHAT A SLUT, LIAR & ATTENTION WHORE
She needs a real rape lol
Aya is becoming more and more Paris hilton lick mediawhore.
Which is sad :/ I like her.
I once lied about being abducted by two women so that my boss wouldn't fire me for missing three days of work.
It worked.
who did you have verify it?
She is ready to be married now, her behavior falls right in line with all women today who are married already.
The tumor is starting to take over her mind and actions now. Do not blame poor Aya, her tumor is to blame.
Remember Las Plagas from Resident Evil? All I'm saying is if you shoot of Aya's head at night, that tumor will shoot out a barbed tentacle from her spine and kill you.
Poor Taxi driver didn't know what he was dealing with.
