Aya Hirano’s latest episode sees her skirmishing with her 60,000 followers on Twitter.
The exchange came about after her followers started rubbishing her for saying she was no good at ad libs – she was criticised even for responding.
Soon she felt the need to bash back:
To the people bashing me or the ones saying not to become fully of myself just because I’ve been on TV a few times.
You know you can stop following me?
[…]
I’m calling myself a seiyuu because I want to be a seiyuu. There’s no rule which says a seiyuu can only be a seiyuu, is there now!?
Not the first time her creepy otaku followers have been a cause of irritation to her and doubtless not the last.
Of course, one of the first responses to this episode on 2ch is “You know you can stop being a seiyuu?” Others repeat their unkind speculation as to how long it will take her to appear in an AV.
Meanwhile the extra publicity seems to have earned her more followers, although their interest in her may be less than flattering.
It seems Hirano may wish to avoid the sort of direct and unmanaged contact with her “fans” occasioned by a Twitter account – at least if she is intent on making odd remarks about her sex life on every other TV appearance.
Lifeliners or those looking for sport can find her Twitter account here (incidentally, Sankaku Complex’s Twitter account resides here).
Lol. Tits or GTFO
I have to agree with Aya on this one. She works because she wants to. I admit she’s not very smart for speaking about her sex life so openly on TV, but if people want bash her, why are they still paying attention to her and following her on Twitter, etc?
If its not out of any remaining loyalty as a fan, what is it? To humiliate, terrify and torment her? Seriously WTF is their problem? I find it kind of sick if these so called ex-fans have this urge to follower her and torment Aya Hirano, after they cut ties. Seriously, its really twisted. I don’t want to say anymore, this just has me appalled.
Gee, I dunno, they might be a bit upset about how she milked them for money selling them a dream and then exposed her sex life at a high resolution.
Yeah, do it to someone less respectable like Justin Bieber!
yeah leave her alone.
Aya please continue your seiyuu work. the 2nd season of Kimi ni todoke was just recently announced hopefully you voice Kurumizawa, Ume again 😀
They pay her bills, and for everything she has, if they didn’t exist she would be broke.
she is just fag, a product of the past. Now that she has lost her value, it’s time to discard her.
Maybe she should ask God Haruhi to create a paradise world for her to live in.
