Aya Hirano’s tortuous relationship with her fans continues, with her enthusiastic hopes of reaching 200,000 followers on Twitter dashed – followers began abandoning her as soon as she mentioned it.
Hirano has an impressive 199,000 followers on Twitter, though there has long been the suspicion that most are following her more in the spirit of onlookers egging on a jumper than in the spirit of fans cheering on their beloved idol.
However, she made the mistake of celebrating the fact she was drawing near to 200,000:
“Only 4 more followers to 200,000!”
The result:
“As soon as I tweeted that my followers started decreasing rapidly! Come on, don’t be like that! Σ(|||▽|||)”
This knocked her back to 199,784 – currently she has recovered to 199,818, although it seems 200,000 may be further away than it looks if this reaction continues.
Begging for followers can be counterproductive it seems.

I think sankaku gave her the rest of those followers, >.> complete and utter fail
Would have been more fun to troll her a little more :(
Twitter is as gay as sodomy ¬_¬
By the way, it is just me or she looks so yellow in tha pic?
maybe you can't see it, but her hat is yellow
I hear Youtube gets better followers.
It's a Jap. Of course it looks yellow silly.
G'dammit. Buncha retards -_- world over.
I agree, but for a completely different reason...
I'm losing my longtime battle with attempting to give a tumbling fuck about social networks. It's like we're all regressing to elementary school, but the statement "I have more friends than you" meant you were a petulant little brat rather than someone of social respect.
I wonder what'd happen if Facebook made everyone anonymous.
Actually we know exactly what'd happen...
It'd be fuckin' great!
LONG LIVE THE COCKMONGLER!!
They could at least do that as an april fools joke some time.
Oh, right, don't forget the anon masks as profile pictures.
I'm still getting 199,865.

Like I said Mission Accomplished XD
I got that last time i checked although now it's sending me to the twitter main page
/unfollow Sankakucomplex
I'll stick with rss thanks. Don't need to tell the world I'm following lol.
the technology of the ancients (RSS feeds) still do the job for me
On the internet, ancient is 1997.
Sankaku is just jealous of the numbers... 5,072 is looking pretty bad
yeah, let sankaku be butthurt for once ¬_¬
She's has obviously not mastered reverse psychology yet.
Japs are master trolls
she's even mastered reverse reverse psychology
I still don't understand this silly hate of her
Maybe some people are annoyed with her antic but then again who cares? Let her be...It's her life anyway.
That's cuz yer her capitalism bitch pig ;)
And I'm assuming you're Sancom's "capitalism bitch pig" ;)
I don't follow anyone on Twitter unless they follow me first.
Speaking of which
twitter.com/gradius_ii
No matter who wins, I LOL.
She'll always be Haruhi and Konata to me.
She's still cute! Tweet Tweet!
Pachira here... never saw those other obscure ones.
I really try to figure how *that* turned to be the most iconic seiyuu for the first decade of the century *puzzles me*
lol...
Zen Master Aya has it all under control. She owns the world and plays it like a fiddle :)
Aya Hirano is a troll goddess ^_^
DAAAWWGHHH!
So cute.
Quality journalism Sankaku.
It's this kind of insight and in-depth analysis of the industry that keeps me coming back day after day...
>_>
man you guys are infatuated by her
AYA IS NOT OVER - SHE'S VERY MUCH ALIVE
much to her disgrace...
Bitch got jaundice.
i feel bad for her..
I haven't used Twitter at all since they changed it recently. It looks terrible now and doesn't load correctly half the time. It's a real shame because I always used it to check articles on SanCom before coming to the main page.
It's nice to see that many people follow her though. I know it's "cool" to hate on Hirano, but I like her personally.
:shrug:
What the hell is wrong with her mouth?
My dick is not in it.
Oh, ok.
I hate when people do that freaking lip thing.. looks like the door knob from Alice and wonderland. freakin tards.
Won't follow even if you pay me...
That bitch looks like a fucking Duck! I'm not kidding
lol she must be ashamed of herself by now
Nothing like giving constant bad press to create the opposite effect. Maybe that why the Tokyo mayor keeps getting re-elected.
Oh NO!! She is here again!This is the end of the World!And I though that she is now a hyper ugly zombie because of the nuclear disaster like in chernobyl!DAMN DIE ALREADY!!!
