Aya Hirano’s admission that she prefers having sex with older men may have made her into a minor hate figure online, but it has certainly not got in the way of her reinvention as variety show “multi-talent” – in fact, if her recent TV appearance is anything more than the invention of her publicist she still has something of a following, now dubbed “lifeliners” in reference to her earlier comments.
The live event saw her dancing energetically on stage, whilst her TV feature obligingly dug up everything it could from the ongoing Aya-blitz:
The event even saw a creepy British seiyuu otaku trotted out for the cameras:
With the crowd displaying a comparatively elevated sense of fashion and a notable female component, either Aya Hirano’s Lifeliners are a rather more balanced bunch than would at first be expected from the die-hard rump of her once mighty legion of fans, or else the spectacle was at least in part contrived for the benefit of cameras and most were simply there for the next act.

british otaku :D
A rare species indeed :P
What's goin' on chaps
Jolly good event this was!
Oi, blokes!
I say, it is indeed a most rum affair that a son of the isles mingles amongst these mongoloid savages. It won't be long before he turns native, what!
Well, I guess I shall invite you to biscuits, crumpets and tea? At the usual time, of course.
You know we barely say any of the stuff you assume we do. Nor do we drink tea and eat crumpets all the time, NOR do we have a "tea" time. We never say jolly either. You base your entire picture of the whole British public on the Royal Family, who have more money than God and are German. Have fun with the stereotypes if you wish as long as you realise they arent true. In the same way the rest of the world bases the entire American public on George Bush. I know it isnt true, but its still fun to play with. :)
We do have nerds and geeks (proud to be one!) but I didnt know we had proper Otaku like that.
We dont actually talk like that you know ^^ Most dont drink tea, barely none eat crumpets and we dont have a tea time either :P We arent like the Royal Family at all, they have more money than God and dont do any work. If you want to have fun with stereotypes then at least realise that they arent actually true. The same way I know that all Americans arent like George Bush :P
Also we have nerds and geeks (proud to be one!) but I didnt know we had proper Otaku at all. Never ever seen one here. But we do love the Japanese!
Forgot to sign, did you? +1 for the Flaming Idiot-er- I mean George Bush comment.
Good one Jeeves, you tell him.
I do say sir!, This amuses me quite well
I love the fact that he called the British family German while they are in fact decendants of a Dutch guy who once became king because he had to lol.
They have been German since 1714. Kaiser Wilhelm II was Queen Victoria's grandson.
Well, Danny is rather rare too.
How can you forget Melonpan..
Tons of Aya related news lately :/
It's her mastermind plan...
aya: all according to keikaku....
Keikaku: plan in japanese
fag: you in english.
Speaking of species, the article got it right. The Aya boyfriend 'controversy' weeded out the crazies who actually think a girl of her stature wouldn't be playing the field. So it took out the craziest and the most delusional fans. Now we have more evenheaded seiyuu fans. Makes sense.
Quality over Quantity?
Yep she's doing good so far...
It seems that her fan quantity is still okay...
I don't know about quality over quantity. Maybe she just dates older men because there are more of them in Japan's aging population. Including some dead ones that still collect pensions...
Nah...it's gotta be the money.
She doesn't need money.
hhahahha sadly, as much as i dun want to admit it, she probably dated older men cuz they are not as childish as you. older guys provide more security as well as money. Looks like i gotta polish up on my maturity as well ahhah
Older men also use more Viagra. And have less stamina. And may suffer cardiac arrest from over-excitement.
Moar?
Shippoyasha: yup.
This is where we get to the difference between shallow otaku and actual fans :3
They aren't as rare as you think, they are just slowly catching up.
I see Aya doesn't need those weird 2ch otaku at all to be successful. Good. ^_^
Either way...As long as Aya is happy, that's the important thing...
Aya was a hate figure? Not for me folks
Not true.... the otaku subculture is not just a japanese culture... it is now officially globalized for both foreign and local patrons.....
GOD BLESS ASIA!
HOLY COW those fucking tooths again! NOOOOOOOO!
クソビッチ始まった
TL: "Let the bitching commence!"
Um... no. I was referring to the video in this post:
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/08/06/aya-hirano-fans-rage-at-betrayal/
He doesn't know how to read.
And nothing of value was lost.
Her sexual target knows she wants to fuck them, even up for multiple at the same time and she's decimated the number of unwanted creepy otaku.
Just according to keikaku.
Yeah you're right, Just look at that second photo. If my eyes are not blazed I see tons of middle aged men.
But you're wrong at some points. Anykind of otaku are creepy and unwanted.(LOL)
So... there are still people out there who want to fork over their hard-earned money to her?
Talk about dedication o.o;
Why the hate to begin with? Must seriously lack a life to hate on celebrities...
I agree with you, and I feel good for you, and imma let you finish, but Kanye West is one of the most hated celebrities of all time!
Of all time!
And thus, a reason to hate (celebrities i.e.)
I honestly don't care about celebrities, so my money will go towards something beneficial instead instead of shitty idol merchandise... like Chilled Shimapan :p delicious
Yet at the same time, you call idol otakus people with no life.
Either you love them or hate them, it's all the same.
(sarcastic) yeah because all female Japanese voice actors are suppose to be virgin maidens that have not been touched be the hand of man.
Yes, for all creepy seiyuu otakus dream on deflowering them themselves.
Keep dreaming.
The truth hurts.
Those otakus have double standards:
The girl must not be a slut, remain a virgin until marriage and marry late.
However, they want to fuck her and imagine doing so, then the girl must have some fairly low standards to fuck an otaku or just be a slut and fuck anybody for money, especially since she has a lot of fans who want to fuck her.
Even better is the dreaming about fucking an intelligent character. Disregarding that the character does not exist in reality (well, this is imagination), do you really think that, say, Kagami from Lucky Star, Suzumiya Haruhi or Misaka Mikoto (if they existed in real life or it would be possible to go to their worlds) would go out (and have sex) with anybody, especially an otaku? Most likely they wouldn't even know about the otaku, because he would spend all day in his room watching anime.
Well, I don't have such delusions. I know that since I spend most of my time in my room, I most likely won't meet any girl, especially one who would be interested in me, and even if I did, I most likely would not have time for her, you know, my hobbies tae a lot of my free time. Also, the on,ly way for me to be able to have sex with a celebrrity, like Hirano Aya, would be to kidnap and rape her, and that is not going to happen because I do not want to spend a large part of my life in prison.
You should write a book, man. Who knows, maybe you'll end up 21st century Bukowski or something.

Woah, thats what I always thought, too...
You put that into words better than I ever could :]
It would be nice if that were the limit of the truth.
It gets much sadder when you realize that not only the seiyuu have to be virgin flowers but that otakau will even foam at the mouth if their favorite fictional character may be "second hand".
I think anyone would get angry suddenly finding out the girl they thought was pure, isn't.
even non otaku (though probably more insane since they aren't self aware of it) in Muslim country's get up in arms about it.
The retarded thing is that they will refuse to like/stop liking a character if the voice actress becomes second hand. Derp.
I thought the issue was the whole "seeing more than one guy at a time" thing. Not that she wasn't a virgin.
No, you say a women is a virgin and they go ape shit that there waifu was fucked by someone else.
They started raging and screaming before that.
I bet most didn't even watch anything after the "Virgin? lolno" part :P
