The rapture of the otaku who queued an entire month to meet tsundere seiyuu icon Rie Kugimiya has been picked up by Taiwan’s TV news, with the seiyuu being beset by a throng of infected fans:
The strain of near contact with his idol was too apparently much for one otaku, who actually fainted:
The wait was evidently worth it:

Worshiping people is unhealthy. And it can become a disease like the title implies.
she is cuter on video. ^^
Otaku #2: "She has a very pleasant voice.."
I LOL'd...
the fainted fan looks like she/he pissed his/her pants
Sad, I don't live in either Taiwan or Japan
Kugimiya sounds like "Ding Dong" in the video... lol
Kugimiya sounds like "Ding dong" in that video... LOL
This is shit!I just came back from Taiwan for my business trip!I wished I camped along with those guys
Damn, tomorrow is the last day! And I'm still stuck at home! T.T
Come to Hong Kong, please
I second that. About time a well-known seiyuu and singers comes to HK as well, it's always Taiwan (Kugimiya), Singapore (May'n) and even Malaysia (Hirano Aya and Chihara Minori) getting all the best.
LOL at otaku fainting at sight of Kugimiya.
I think "Kugimiya fever" sounds more fitting as a translation.
I 'm a fan of her but I have to ask thisquestion no matter what... WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE??? she can't speak mandarin neither cantonese, what's the use comming all the way here?
crazy taiwanese otaku...I feel sorry for my country =.=
I would faint too if she slowly whisp in my ear...
"Urusai Urusai Urusai"
"BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA INU!!!"
It's a disease that needs a vaccine quickly. I propose extermination.
Didn't they say he fainted 'cause he was pushed and squeezed too much by the crowd?
I think that was a last second attempt at saving some dignity...
FaintGuy: "ZOMG!!! HERE COMES KUGIRIE!! EEEEEEEEEEK!!!1" *faints*
FaintGuy: "Ummm... yeah... I fainted because I was pushed around too much..."
Strangely, those Taiwanese otakus don't look all that different from their Japanese comrades. Have otakus evolved into some kind of race already?
I wouldn't call it evolution... more like mutation...
You DO know that evolution is actually mutation, right?
You know... an organism mutates and the next generation has the new traits (for better or worse...), and so, the next generations of creatures are different from the original one...
I feel sad for the guy who fainted... He didn't see much of his idol...
but he gets noticed by the idol.
kugumiya: " wow, someone actually fainted because of me! huh? others queue for a month? i've seen better..."
I wonder why I feel so attracted to her...I mean, she is 3D and way over 40. Damn, I would have waited a month or two if she came to my country.
Kugyuu~
Oh. I read it somewhere and didn't think about it much. I'm very sorry Kugyuu-sama *genuflects*
Now please excuse me, I need to do penance...
Actually, Kugyuu is turning 31 this year.
Yes, she's younger than Tamura Yukari and Horie Yui. Heck, Takahashi Chiaki is older, too.
Actually she is 30.
the bar kept being raised higher and higher. sky's the limit.
There's such a thing as moderation in all matters.
Loui...err...Rie is all powerful!
Even almost the entire seiyuu cast of K-ON didn't get swamped like that in Singapore... Guess that is the power of Kugirie.
lolwut? I didn't know K-On went to Singapore... I thought people of Singapore were all no-go for anime
We r SRS ppl in SRS state on SRS Earth...
SRSly...
i dont quite get your comment but it sounds awesome anyway
WHAT!?!?!?! K_ON WAS IN SINGAPORE?!?!?!?! I DIDN"T KNOW ABOUT THAT?!?! But then again.... i wouldn't wait in line for a month.....
He really fainted?
LOL
what a puss
the news said that that guy fainted because of the insane crowd that jammed the hallway
Tsk like you'd do better
Really??
Really really??
Who REALLY faints in a situation such as this...
I don't think there's anyone on Earth I hold in such high regard so as to faint upon meeting them.
The fact that this guy faints from meeting a person who works on a TV show he likes is beyond dismal.
That was me =C
I don't think he fainted... It's more like.... An epic HNNNNGGGGGG!
Or maybe he fainted from the combination of exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition after waiting in line for that long.
Ah I see
Let's add that to the list of things that are so exhausting it warrants fainting:
Breaking a marathon record, sheer cliff rock climbing, escaping from behind enemy lines, waiting in line
That would suck to faint and miss anything after waiting in line so long
Holy crap man!
TSUNDERE RULES!!!
THEIR MAJESTY!
Kugimiya is cute just like her characters
"national"? LOL.
Did I say anything?
Anyway, "kugimiya disease" can't be the correct translation of the word "钉宫病" as we call it.
oh look, we've got a communist here with his ugly simplified chinese characters
Exactly what I was gonna say. It's "釘宮," not "钉宫"
whatever, just vote down more, I know you would.
my bad, lack of traditional Chinese ime, however, I'm sure you guys are smart enough to understand what I mean; anyway, i can't edit it now.
Heh...I guess this is my country...for better or worse. In sickness or in health...
better than having infected by 'stupidness Aya Hirano desease'
He's already been infected....
True devotion, that guy who 'feinted' to see kugimyas panties, what a trooper.
I wish i could hug kugimiya for being such an awesome voice actor. Rock on queen tsun-chan.
Was that supposed to be ironic or...
I personally think this is much more useful than the news that some guy was eating at the restaurants and burnt himself eating the Duck Blood cake from the hotpot.
Taiwan is too small to have any news that would warrant several 24-hr news station so all they report is unimportant and useless news.
I am actually more worry about this than people lining up.
lol fainted? i thought that only happens in movies... and to girls.
I'm hotter than her =\
tits or gtfo!
Thats not hard judging from that pic up there, I believe you even though Im aware that youre a guy since female beings do not inhabit the internets.
Guess that makes you gay huh.
SS or it didnt happen
please not only is this the internet, this is the SanCom you can not be a girl even if there was any girls on this site you can not be hot for like i said this is the internet
Pics or NO!
It's not true unless you can prove it.
Comparing

VS
Kugimiya Rie
Proved her WRONG!
It's not true unless you can prove it +1
If you're not Rie Kugimya then no!
actually 病 means disease...
Don't translate it word by word... the only reason we call it a "病" is that fans are too crazy, not they're ill.
translation should be on context not on the word itself. thats probably the reason that most subtitles are absurd at times.
i agree to the basilio, syndrome is a better word.
It's actually translated from Japanese here. And again they have another word for "syndrome," but I digress...
I c wat u did thar.
But anyways "Kugimiya Disease" is pretty accurate for "钉宫病".
I would say "Kugimiya Syndrome" sounds better than "Kugimiya Disease," though that would be 釘宮症候群, not 釘宮病...
