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).

Someone needs to tell her to stop giving a damn for people none of 'us' give a damn for either.
Fucking losers that spend all their time and lives hassling women in media, they mean sweet fuck all to us, why should she care about them either.
She's still committed to being a seiyuu! Yes! there is still hope in her.
So if they make more Haruhi, will Aya still be in it?
Honestly, I don't give a shit about people's private life, if they're a good actor/actress is all that truly matters.
They didn't give Yuki's seiyuuu shit when she said she fucked her younger brother.
Wow.. You really believed that?
VZ is completely right. What counts is if she's good at her job, not if she's good in bed.
She's actually making it worse by commenting on it. And while it's every fans right to bash celebrities, celebrities are also human beings... last I checked.
ugly bitch
damn, her tits disappeared.
Did she add a "To Artefact of SanCom" somewhere?

I only agree with you that as a human u need to handle critism. But YOU ARE AN IDIOT if u think following someone and throwing shit at them without any morale or without any construct arguements is a normal act of person behaviour.
Oh, but assholes are a part of modern life too.
I'm so tempted on saying 'NO U' in reference to speculating that I'm an idiot, but I'll take the higher ground than you by not calling you anything that harsh. 'Naive' maybe?
She is in a situation where, even if she wants to continue giving every single kinky detail of her sex life, she should just shut up against the trolls. It's just the Internet: At least, no one has been anonymously sending pizza to her home, or no one has been cracking all her 7 passwords. I've never her about her being outspokenly cussed in real life.
Instead, she lost her temper and smacked the beehive with a crowbar by retaliating. If there's one thing trolls exist for, is attention.
And she's giving them every loving piece of it.

more more aya more, now we know that you care about us
She should learn not to feed trolls. I'm not sure what she was expecting. I pity her.
Interestingly, if she reaches her goal of becoming a famous nationwide idol, she won't be working as a major seiyuu anymore, for better or for worse. She'd be too expensive.
Why is she getting all worked up?
-
Those aren't even her legitimate fans, rather that those are merely more trolls doing what they do best: "Trollin - Trollin - Trollin".
-
Now if she's going to let them get to her, then the only thing I have to add is - she gets what she deserves - Woman get over it, those are just a bunch of fugly trolls with no real lives of their own!
-
Da shes a babe, but its kinda sad that she's so shallow to let the trolls get to her, talk about gullible & feed the trolls.
GEEEZ!!
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.
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 :D
They pay her bills, and for everything she has, if they didn't exist she would be broke.
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!
About fucking time if you ask me.
she should tell her naysayers to just fuck off. And that they are a pack of petty retarded fucks who want her to die over minor shit.
Has she done porn yet? I'm waiting, given her current career decisions.
I say we all log in to her twitter and give her our support. Even if you don't really like her, do it anyway to piss off the creepy otaku of japan
what are you, retard?
yeah let's do that!
she is just retard tell me any other famous peoples that don't have haters ?? example like MJ , Bieber , Usher,Bush, Obama etc
haters everywhere :)
only bashing I want to do is with my cock...
I know Aya's a dirty girl...
"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!?"
I'm not sure what that means.
I thought she hadn't been doing any acting recently?
PR stunts usually don't include hissy fits on Twitter. Why? Because the people posting there are the worst of the worst. She's just feeding the trolls and the deranged.
shes just digging her grave deeper and deeper, it doesnt seem to stop. i feel bad for her but shes just making it worse lol
Aya and her fanbase both seem to be fucking imbeciles, so let's all just learn to stop giving a fuck.
Aya is history. Period.
History that is doomed to be repeated again.
history tends to repeat itself. And aya still got her Period
She uses her words in order to form a defense mechanism against those people that keeps bugging her. Let her be and just be a bystander and watch everything unfolds whatever she does in her life. I still have a confidence on her.
facepalm
*rate my down if you agree*
Nice try.
(rated down for bad grammar)
Oh FFS...
Who the hell cares what she does? The only reason people are bitching is because they had some prancy-shmancy pretty virgin image of her in their heads, and all of a sudden it got disproved. It's like when a character in a game who has never had a voice is given one and people bitch over it "not fitting the character" WHEN HE HASN'T HAD ONE SO YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ANYWAYS MORONS.
If these people are going to get that worked up over something as dumb as how someone with no relation, no financial hold, and no direct influence over their lives spends her time and lives her life, they need to grow the fuck up. You don't see craploads of American fans bawling and whining and throwing temper tantrums if an actress/actor they like does something different - they accept that as being part of the trade.
No they do, there have plenty of actor/actress stalkings and American fans can be just as obsessive, look onto any actor following community on the web and you'll see they complain just about all the same things, who they date, what they said, what they believe in, didn't John Mayer just get heavily criticized for all those statements he made in those interviews? Isn't the same like Aya he gets ragged on for making stupid statements.
as opposed to you getting worked up by something that about everyone here already knows.
take that argument to 2ch and be sure to post the results ^^
Except she's not an actor/actress.
A seiyuu's fanbase is a different demographic and so they have different expectations.
Besides, you're getting worked up yourself. It's hilarious how fervently you're defending her.
For there are people that hate Lindsay Lohan, there are still some that like her. You fall into the latter category.
I'm not ranting on Aya's behalf. I'm ranting against the utter stupidity of her "fans". I can't stand people who do things so utterly nasty and without a logical reason. So she has a sex life - doesn't that kind of come with the territory of being a young woman? I find it highly hypocritical for her "fans" to be getting on her case over something as natural as that. All they're really whining about is that they wanted her first - too bad, so sad, welcome to the real world foks.
Why should a seiyuu's fanbase be so different from an actress/actor? That's what a Seiyuu is really.
You can have a sex-life, however I'm pretty sure it's something you should keep to yourself, it's a private thing and if you want to go talk about it on national TV then what do you expect to happen? We all just accept it? SHE exposed herself, SHE took it upon herself to tell everyone about it, SHE violated her own privacy, she could've easily just said "It's none of your business" like every other person and the Otaku would've accepted it.
I don't think anyone gave a fuck about her sex life. She was the one that kept on talking about her sex life over and over.
And what about keeping to yourself your personal life?
Why do you have to shout in TV: Oh look, I'm having sex!
that makes no sense to me
Honestly I really can't defend Aya here, it's like what did you expect to happen? Sure she's human but if you go on national television and tell everybody how many people you had sex with and then complain when they call you a slut then don't say it in the first place, that's a private thing and if you don't want people talking about it then don't tell anyone, I'm pretty sure it's not within her human rights of privacy if she herself exposes it.
Not that I wanted to defend Aya or something but sometimes people just say bullshit and then realise: "Aw, gawd, what did I just say?" And the more you want to fix it, the deeper in the crap you are.
Aya is only human. I bet most of those haters have fucked up way more.
It's more of a case where they never fucked
Yeah, that might have to do with it. ^_^
Some otaku are just too obsessive about "their" seiyuu, that's the problem.
Considering the impact of her blunders and how shit like these travel over the Net at light speed, I'm betting that at least 60% of her 'detractors' are just trolls.
She needs to thicken her face, DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING and think more than 2 seconds before disclosing details of her private life.
