For the first time ever Aya Hirano has spoken publicly of her love life, sparking off instant otaku fury before the revelations have even aired.
In a recent interview she reports (about 9 minutes in) she has “revealed all” about her love life in an upcoming variety programme episode to air at the start of August – “It’s up to you what you think, but don’t hate me!” she says, paradoxically.
With her TV talent appearances for the start of August having now risen to no less than 5 different programmes in a single week, it also seems she is indeed thrusting headlong into the world of TV talent whilst leaving her mouldering career as seiyuu-idol behind.
Revelations about her love life are sure to alienate completely her creepy otaku fanbase, suggesting she may well be intent on abandoning her idol/seiyuu credentials completely.
Even the mere admission that she has a love life has already stoked 2ch’s substantial seiyuu stalking component (along with their even more numerous detractors) into a frenzy:
“‘Don’t hate me’ – she thinks anyone still likes her?”
“So she’ll tell us what positions she likes?”
“A bitch making bitch talk doesn’t change the fact she’s already a bitch.”
“Fans who stop liking her because of this weren’t real fans to start with!”
“Don’t dump us!”
“She can say whatever she likes, if she does it in Konata’s voice all will be forgiven.”
“I hope she’s prepared for the reaction of all those creepy otaku…”
“There’s no way any creepy otaku would forgive an idol who had a boyfriend for even a second.”

Now I am starting to like her.
Many otaku have mental disorders, lol. That guy is going to get assassinated.
Otakus are like nerdy kids who can't grow up. Except kids are much cuter.
Ah the art of trolling, with this her otaku fanbase will be raging in no time. On an additional note I agree with jareth, whoever her bf is will have to fight off a lot of basement dwellers.
@ LanSlyde 11:06 :
Ah, just rent an arena, announce a free Aya Hirano "event", and make blunt weapons available to the attendees, and film the ensuing carnage as "Otaku vs Otaku Spectacular".
No need for Aya to even show up at the event -- it just adds to the Rage-O-Mania scores of the basement dwellers.
He'll surely receive death threats and get ambushed anytime he goes out of the house.
Hoho~
Assuming basement dwellers even leave their basements for extended periods of time necessary to track down and take a hit on that boyfriend.
I'm happy as long as the boyfriend isn't a jerk.
man.. Jareth's comment is so win
Yeah, I just realized she could easily play Ritsu Tainaka in some upcoming K-on live action film.
She's giving the gift of a thousand bitter otaku tears. That alone makes me like her more.
@ blaqcat:
so true.
Just thinking of the agony those stupid creepy imbiceles would feel makes me happy.
But I can relate to her. In her place, I would never be glad that some ugly loser fucks fapping on me.
She won my respect and admiration. Way to go, Hirano!
lol trust me you don't wanna like her...
been there done that
lmfao
Now I am starting to really like her.
“Fans who stop liking her because of this weren’t real fans to start with!”
Amen to that!
^This is very true. I'm gonna miss Konata's voice *w*
That's true, my brother.
they'll still cry over it, also it would nice to read the interview in a translated form isnt it?
true to an extent
but then again, anyone that likes her, and is being honest with themselves, only liked/likes her because she voices a series of anime characters.
thus leaving you with precious little to idolize her for if she stops voicing anime characters.
so the question becomes who is actually being more shallow?
the people still clinging to their idolatry just because of a lingering otaku hard-on for anime characters such as Haruhi and Konata (who, being as exaggerated as they are, probably have not actual relation to Aya as a person)?
or the people that stopped being interested because she's stopped doing the only thing she's honestly known for doing?
she honestly has a good voice, and thats it.
i may be shallow, i may be sad and pathetic, but all she was ever famous for was having a good voice, and it will be missed, though i cant say the same for her.
Ermm..she is actually really beautiful too=|
I find her really attractive wonder ppl call her ugly?
It's really simplistic to attribute her appeal to a 'good voice'. Tom Cruise has a good voice- but Steve Buscemi is a better actor.
Hirano gets her characters- maybe because someone explains them to her, but probably because she's ballsy enough to take risks with them.
Haruhi Suzumiya is an egotistical bitch, but what drives her is fear of insignificance. She's like a Bipolar chairman Mao- and she's the major protagonist. Think about how easy it'd be to get that recipe wrong.
Following Seiyuu customs, she may be cute and glamorous, but what really sells me on Aya Hirano is shit like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R9k0yl8Atk&feature=related [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R9k0yl8Atk&feature=related]
looks fade, but unless she starts smoking or has any other voice ruining habits, that will stay good well into her 60's
Indeed. If she stop doing the thing that made people love her people should, and will, forget about her.
But hate her? that's stupid.
I think you'll find the intelligence of most hardcore (Japanese) otaku to be quite lacking...
*I think you'll find the intelligence of most humans to be quite lacking
I think you'll find change in your couch.
I liked her voice acting. What she does privately is of no real interest to me.
What's the problem of the guys who moan about her having a love life? Were they all hoping to deflower her or something? ^_^
^This (you miserable-lot-of-people-who-compare-3D-to-2D-life otaku)
*agrees very much with what schrobby and yoshi-kun said*
I applaud as well.
I can't say that apples to me. I've never heard any of her VA work, and the first I'd her of her was articles posted about her here on SanCom. After reading those I developed a sort of curious apathy for her which led to me picking up Riot Girl on a whim one day. I liked it, and started listening to her music after that. If one would call me a fan of hers, it would be because of that, not her work in anime.
@kurainichi
Amen indeed...Without her, Konata and Haruhi would never be the same for me...That charm she gave them is priceless...
“She can say whatever she likes, if she does it in Konata’s voice all will be forgiven.”
Awesome...
I'm very grateful for Aya for giving my favorite, blue-haired lolitaku a lovable voice...SHE IS KONATA...
you know, if she goes off on a tangent of who she is boning and all, i think id rather her say it in the most distant voice from konata as possible.
Me too...If she said she got thumped by some guy in Konata's voice, there's bound to be attempts on her life by some of her unstable fans...
I was just saying awesome to that quote since it was pretty funny and at the same time, that simple to apologize~
I also was posting to say that. “She can say whatever she likes, if she does it in Konata’s voice all will be forgiven.” Ultimate truth.
I don't understand why idols have to devote their lives to a bunch of sweaty nerds. If I knew someone that devoted their life to me; who just listens to their voice and has no "real" interaction with then I'm not too happy with that idea.
People shouldn't have their personal lives locked up and have the key thrown away just because of a career option.
Also, it's not like anyone should truly be broken up by this. All they did was listen to her idol-persona.
Just what's up.
That's what I get for not trusting Sankaku.
I don't understand why an idol has to give up basically everything in their personal lives for their fan-base. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, but I wouldn't want her not to have a personal life for the fan-bases sake. It seems more absurd for her to lose her entire career because of it (if that happens).
Nobody's personal life should be caged because of a career option.
Come on otakus, if you really cared about your idol, you'd let her go onto better things and still recognize her.
Read megatokyo and you'll come to understand
Preachin to the choir there bud.
Oh, I know.
Guessing there'll be no third season of Haruhi then. :<
they'll find someone that can do a voice similar or even almost the same as haruhi's voice. If you can replace an actor for another one and people don't even notice you can replace a voice actor
I guess there's that.
I think I read somewhere (Wiki?) that Kaori Shimizu can replicate Mamiko Noto's voice.
you do realize the only time they ever do that is in the event of the va's death?
i never heard of them changing it for any other reason
Sakurai Harumi (Yurippe from Angel Beats!) can do it instead.
Stupid otakus. Do not worship real people, worship anime characters!

We are already residents of the 2D world, having discarded the 3D one.
What's the point in idolizing a 3D woman now!?
Let us devote ourselves to our 2D goddesses and let the other 3D residents live their live as they want.
Live and let live? I'm all for it. Even if I prefer to remain in the 3D side of the river.
