Aya Hirano‘s new career as TV talent has seen her legendary “AYA STYLE” resurrected – much to her evident embarrassment.
The main picture in question in case anyone has somehow forgotten it:
For those not familiar with the incident, she was involved in a gravure photoshoot on a tropical beach, published as “AYA STYLE,” in which she managed to appear wearing her bikini upside down.
At the time many of her more ardent fans insisted she was wearing it correctly, but by her own later admission and her appearance on this show, this clearly was not the case.
Her reaction:
Player 1
“Is your IQ low?”
“Hirano-san is a bit of an idiot.”
It seems she will be forever dogged by this incident – even her reinvention as TV talent has failed to escape it.
In a later (and unrelated) exchange she came close to tears:

TV personalities are generally douchebags, even over here.
Having watched a bunch of these shows while I was over in Japan, I'm not surprised at their hateful comments towards Aya. But, I am disgusted.
By watching her sad expression on her cute face it makes me think is not that bad. Poor chick. Don't make her cry.
...and yet she survived.
One point for her.
I'm not a fan of hers, but her upset, tearly face is not something I can watch with pleasure. Humiliation is something horrible.
Well, if this is her new career, I hope she -at least- earn some bucks in retribution of being exposed in such way...
she' snot abot to cry because they mock her, but because of the topic that is emotional. Other guests are about to cry too.
I may not be a fan of her, but it's kinda heartbreaking to see her cry ;_;
Wasn't the bikini actually wore the right way?
I remembered Sankaku having an article about it.
She wanted to be on TV that's what happens.
Even if her voice sometimes anoys me. But she's still cute, making her cry is just sad.
btw the shows call "The Best House 1 2 3"
Whoa, some people here seem to be taking the headline and photos way out of context.
First, the "chotto baka" statement is no doubt made in good spirit and jest, the fact that Aya laughs it off, albeit embarrassingly, is evident of that.
Second, that statement did not make her cry. As captioned by Arte, those photos of her crying came from another unrelated dialogue. Probably reminiscing about her past or something like that which might bring back some tears as is usual in chat shows.
Lolz if he was being poked by taka-san from Utaban it could be worse
assholes they made her cry! let them rot in hell of or bettter yet in a few years nobody will remeber them unlike Aya who will always be.
I found the video

平野さん、IQ低いんですか?
Million dollar question right there.
Why thank you Butters.
Japanese variety shows are known for being a bit ruthless to idols.
what is wrong with AYA STYLE :)
everybody made little mistake ??
who hasn't wear something wrong or say some embarrassing things ??
Shouldn't attack her with this LAME attack ??
can't wait for 2ch reaction
japs are retarded
Sigh... I don't think she made that face about the idiot thingy, 'cause before that, there was a woman showing up with an unpleasant BG music, and everyone had serious or sad faces after that...
Still, that guy was being an ass to her.
They are fools.
Can we more on the unrelated instant where she came close to tears. Sweet delicious tears.
Aya Style. o.O This couldn't be better. xD
I am fond of her voice acting. I was never fond of her as a person though. Yet it still makes me a little upset how the media can purposefully harm a person's feelings on live TV.
Death and destruction to them.
that look on her face made me die inside. :,(
From the Simpsons Nelson Laugh - "HA-HAH!"
That's show business and mass media. All they care about are ratings and nothing else.
It's not her fault no one did their job and give her a heads up on what should have been a minor mistake no one should've known about.
For those who think she's an idiot, let's not forget that models here are not in charge of their wardrobe and she WOULD have had at the very least...
-Photographer
-Make-up artist
-Lighting assistant
-Assistant
So if NONE of these people caught on, it was a team fail, not just one.
My thoughts exactly. I assume as an idol she had a very tight schedule, so being tired is understandable; plus the person picking the clothes are supposed to know how to put them on her. She is the subject of the photos, but I doubt she's responsible for the end result.
This is horrible, they evidently don't care about people's feelings. Poor Aya, even if she decides never to work as a seiyuu again (let's make it clear, I really like her voice acting) I wish her luck in her career and personal life.
I'm not sure why ya'll obsess over this chick so much.
Just love all the idiotic comments about how the other people on the show made Aya cry. Not one of you fools actually seen the show.
The part about her bikini incident was on for less than a minute midway thru the program - was done and over with no after effects. The tears came near the end after they did a segment about a young mother being killed by a stalker as she got her kids out of the house. Every female on the show was crying at the end of the segment.
Name of the show was 'Best House 1 2 3'
Aired from 9:00 to 10:00 PM Wed, 4 Aug
Well how could we have known that if it wasn't mentioned in the article, silly?
Anyhow, some were just mislead by Artefact. I think he's got a personal grudge against Hirano and her fans.
Not being one of them, it doesn't affect me so... /shrug.
it DID say in the article, though not every detail that anon pointed out.
It just said that in an unrelated segment she started to cry, it just doesn't say why.
Yeah right the Japanese Paris Hilton another point
anyone link for this emission?
Man Japanese TV looks really scary. They will rip you to pieces until the commercial break, then resume until the show finishes.It's apparently fun to destroy the guest which you invited with the intention of harming their personal and psychological confidence.
I bet after breaking her, they started making moves on her like a bad Eroge.
I really wish her the best, and hope that she goes back to being Seiyuu after this to show those guys she can be successful somewhere, which proves she's not an idiot.
Leave Aya alone!!!!
About time someone pull that meme out, lol.
I feel bad for her, I don't know why...
cause it's hard to watch a cute girl cry maybe?
Yeah, incidentally it's also the reason why wallet's are always empty...
Aww, she cries because Aya-chan called her an idiot!
she is Aya-chan you idiot
you fool stop hurting other anon
you are the same chotto baka !!!!
stupid anon is stupid
Upside down, right side up, inside out, blah, blah, blah. I only care to see it either on or off... more off than on though. >.>
She just grew up.
People who make Aya-san cry are a bit of an idiots
this makes me angry D:
RAWR! *RIPS SHIRT* ANON MAD! ANON SMASH!
