Aya Hirano’s “Lifeliners” Remain Steadfast

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.

    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!

    They have been German since 1714. Kaiser Wilhelm II was Queen Victoria's grandson.

    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.

    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.

    Older men also use more Viagra. And have less stamina. And may suffer cardiac arrest from over-excitement.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
