Aya Hirano has angrily told her fans to stop calling themselves “lifeliners,” inciting the usual storm of opprobrium.

The background to her remarks is that Aya Hirano’s remaining fans are now universally known (unkindly) as “lifeliners” after she said on Twitter that “Stop telling me to die or saying you hate me! I’ve finally got a lifeline to everybody!”

Aya Hirano is evidently not pleased with this:

Also, won’t you stop it already with the “lifeliner” stuff?

I only meant to call Twitter my lifeline. I think you’d understand if you read what I originally wrote.

Why is everyone interpreting that in such a warped way? It’ll cause another fuss so I’ll not say any more!

Her increased irritation with fans is probably the result of the sceptical reaction to her taxi story.

Hirano actually now has over 100,000 followers, although it seems likely most of these are the Twitter equivalent of ambulance chasers…

One of them subsequently pointed out that the term has stuck, and she immediately changed her tune:

Indeed! I suppose there is something to it after all! Well, I don’t really mind them using it but I wonder what they’ll do if they become tired of it.

Who cares what they think, call me what you will! The haters got really worked up over what I just said too…

2ch naturally snaps up the bait:

This person has 0 resistance to which way the wind is blowing, doesn’t she?

More fuel!

Hirano needs to give up Twitter… and her ability to resist the influence of others is nil.

Her agency probably thought it would be a good idea for someone like this to take up Twitter…

If she doesn’t periodically stir the pot like this she’ll be forgotten.

She’s doing this deliberately, she’s actually a genius at manipulating 2ch!

Who could have guessed 6 years ago that she would end up like this?

You guys love her way too much!

Aya Hirano is everyone’s toy!

Damn, she’s really using the haters…

This is all because of the taxi stuff – she came off as being mentally ill there.

Hirano: “The taxi disturbance has stopped so I’ll start another little fire to keep things going!”

Why does she always talk to the people who hate her?

Why does she keep pouring oil onto the flames like this?

I’ve started to like her. She’s moe like this. Aren’t weird girls nice?

She’s probably checking the threads about herself on 2ch as she does this…

You guys are playing with Hirano too much – what are you going to do when your toy breaks?

How many followers would she have left if she told everyone but lifeliners to quit following her?

    Its not her ability to resist others, its her obsession with keeping as many people around as possible to feed her attention seeking disease.

    But as if being a following fan of a person in particular wasnt creepy enough, giving yourselves a weird and creepy name as well just makes it worse.

    I understand neither party.

    How do you know she have this obssession to attention? She just tweets anything she wants to her followers, is not like she's starting threads in 2ch asking for attention. If one don't like her, just don't follow her.

    I dislike Justin Biber, so, I'm not waiting his next tweet to madly badmouth him, I don't give a fuck if his gay or going to moon with a horse, srlsy guys, calling her attwhore but seeking her tweets, whathefuck.

    I think she may be calling out for attention without her knowing.

    It is actually somewhat the same thing for me at times too. Everybody who posts online has a certain personality and stance and tries to work around the communities and have their voices heard.

    It just looks to me like she just may not be as sly at using it. Perhaps naive in her approach to the sheer amount of sarcasm and cynicism of the net.

    But I agree. If her tweets are popular and she wants to voice things out, more power for her.

    If SHE is an attentionwhore, then I am too, for occasionally cracking jokes online.

    Key words: obsessession[sic], attention, tweets followers, "starting threads"

    Can you piece together the logic here?

    Thats Japan for you. They set a fantastical bar on what normal life should be but when reality catches up to them instead of coping they just commit suicide. Its sad but i think Aya Hirano is on the way to that end. Thanks in part to both "lifeliners" and haters pushing along the way.

    No, they love you for the characters you do that feeds thier fancy. They don't love you for being you. Every crazy fan knows their favorite voice goddess has a 'real' life but they don't need to have it shoved in their face.

    Not because she is a seiyuu, but it's because this wonman is a absolute attention whore that many people get sick of her. By the way, you still stands for her, lifeliner? She doesn't need you anymore...hahahahaha.

    Normal people loves to tell the world that she hate thick condom, love playing with guy's nipples, was throw out of the bar because of making sexual voice, dating several men in a row, have brain tomour that suddenly disappear, etc? Wow... interesting meaning of normal people.

    I guess she just wants to end her celebrity life and cut all ties off. Well I hardly believe thats ever going to happen, should have stayed as a seiyuu, but what do I care not my life... T_T

    Had some high profile roles like Haruhi and Konata I guess.

    I still like her for some reason. Maybe it's coz I don't mind weird people and disagree with Japan's unreasonable expectations for seiyuu to be this beacon of perfection.

    Out of her old roles, i really only liked Konata. But nowadays i wonder how much of her performance was her own acting and how much was the influence of others.

    As far as Haruhi goes, i'm going to frank and say that i never thought much of her role. The other seiyuu of that show, especially Tomokazu Sugita deliver a stellar performance but Aya could have been replaced by many other talents. That's my opinion.

    All her other roles, especially her more recent role in Fairy Tail as Lucy are nothing stellar.

    She's a good seiyuu with an easily recognizable voice. I don't think she should be named alongside the true legends of the business.

    Right now, her time to shine is gone. Whether she can get her hissy act together and start doing something respectable agian...only time can tell. Though i can certainly do without the batshit crazy stories of hers.
