The Return of Aya Hirano

aya-hirano-narration-recording

Scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano is apparently set to make a comeback as a seiyuu, having revealed that she has managed to secure no less that 4 new roles – although not everyone is convinced.

Her enthusiastic tweets about her new roles:

“I’m really excited about tomorrow’s recording! I can’t calm down! (゚レ゚)”

“No, it’s a new one! I’ve got 4 new regular roles now!”

Whether she is rising like a glorious phoenix from the ashes of her own burning career or is merely being economical with her definition of what constitutes a “new role” is the subject of much debate online:

“She’s got 4 regular roles! How the lifeliners will rejoice!”

“Amazing! We love you Aya! Well done! I’m really looking forward to these! I’ll be sure to watch all 4 of them!”

“She’s got talent, after all.”

“4 roles – a huge victory for Aya!”

“Are they all anime? 2012 is the year of the Aya!”

“You can also interpret her wording as stating that she has 4 roles in total.”

“Why can’t she tell us which? It looks as if she was told to keep it quiet in case all their fans become enraged…”

“I wonder how much her guarantee is now.”

“After the uproar died down she’s really shining again!”

Just how many of her “new regular roles” actually involve anime characters, let alone major ones, remains to be seen…
