Aya Hirano’s latest episode is even stranger than the last, with the troubled idol vowing to quit Twitter over accusations of tax evasion and familial harassment, only to return to it as soon as her attention span lapsed.
The latest storm began with one of her usual inexplicable remarks:
“I had a Japanese meal. I was hoping to treat someone but I was treated myself! I got the receipt too! Sorry, father. I’m full, thanks to you!”
The leading interpretation of this is that she is using her father’s receipts for tax evasion purposes.
She ignored the resulting storm of opprobrium but later provided some damage control:
“My parents were upset thanks to a recent tweet.
People aren’t just bashing me, they are bashing my parents too… I was really shocked when they said it would have been better for them not to have invited me to dinner.
Honestly, I’m really sick of these tweets sometimes.”
[…]
“Even so, it didn’t feel right to give it up at this stage so I started tweeting again. It’s my fault they were able to find fault like that.
I feel really guilty about what happened to my parents, but I can’t easily wipe that away so I’ll try to maintain a healthy attitude.
Sorry for worrying you all with my absence.”
It should of course be noted nobody actually knows who her parents are.
2ch as ever marvels at her stirring of the pot:
“And of course she never bothers to explain just why she was collecting their receipts…”
“Perhaps it would be best for them if you weren’t there?”
“Her father was probably shocked to find out about his daughter’s tax evasion.”
“This is even worse than Yurishii…”
“Is there some rule which says celebs have to use Twitter now? Even CEOs come off the worse for wear when they start…”
“Just stop using Twitter for goodness’ sake!”
“Aya, you’re so cute! We’ll always be here for you – we’re all your supporters!”
“So she’s just saying ‘it’s all your fault’ and not accepting she did anything wrong.”
“Twitter is pretty amazing. You can watch Hirano and the haters do battle directly… I’m an anti so I hope she sticks at it.”
“She’s probably provoking these storms to promote herself. She’s so sly I’m going to puke…”
“Lately everything she says just looks like lies designed to attract sympathy.”
“I think she just enjoys your reactions.”
“Is her agency deliberately having her act as a crazy character? Usually they would have put a stop to this sort of thing…”
“Aya Hirano and Square Enix… the term ‘finished contents’ applies so perfectly to either it’s scary.”

Oh
...
...
Okay.
Who is Bashing her dad? Otaku are really Weird. If they really do it.
God I hate Twitter.
It's almost as vapid and retarded as people who report on twitter.
Although I don't really Care if she quit.
But I admit I'll miss her random tweets.
So sudden, so weird, so random...
AYA STYLE!
But don't quit voice acting girl, seriously...
hey aya hirano, i hav a simple advice fo ya: just quit twitter and get on with ur voice-acting career! ☻☻☻☻
@Sylar Yeah. Aya's getting overrated, especially here. Why can't SanCom post news about Aki Toyosaki, Yoko Hikasa, and other great seiyuus?
Her tweets are usually weird...
“Aya Hirano and Square Enix… the term ‘finished contents’ applies so perfectly to either it’s scary.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH GOD IT'S SO TRUE! HAHAHAHA~
OH! Sankaku you just can't resist making 99999999 articles about Aya.
Maybe Twitter is her best (and only) friend.

Oh look, it's her pedo-smile again.
A lot of people need to quit twitter so they stop saying crap without realizing it...
can someone explain to me the tax evasion? i dont get it.
"vowing to quit Twitter over accusations of tax evasion and familial harassment, only to return to it as soon as her attention span lapsed"
I see Aya needs her daily dose of twitter.
in my country we have a (I guess) similar thing, where you collect receipts from restaurants, cafeterias, etc and declare them with your personal income tax, so you get discounted.
people are implying that she's using other person (her dad) receipts to get discount in her tax.
Baka Aya!
But..omg... so she thanks dad for dinner and mentions getting the receipt...this is morphed into tax evasion?
Baka Life-liners!
I dont get the whole concept of Twitter anyway. Why would people want to share all this random crap with people they've never met. Then to make it even better, get bitchy when they realise the internet can be a fairly hostile place where 'Nothing is Sacred'.
People with 'feelings' dont belong on the internet. Attention Whores...
everytime i see stories like this i think 2ch is becoming less and less entertainment and more and more just a few people leading a crowd of noobs. like watching cows lined up for slaughter being led by a loser.
Just focus on your voice acting and shut up.
@notracist1 Even better: Aya, just quit Twitter and start a porn career already!
R.I.P. Aya's Career we'll miss you T_T
This is starting to give he a huge headache on sight, why why why...
Aya should stop twitting though I don't really blame her for anything those stupid followers decide to accuse her off, I swear they can be so damn bratty at times I don't even...

no prove.shes just wanting some attention.if shes really sick using twitter y still using it?

Candidate for "best comment of 2011"
“Just stop using Twitter for goodness’ sake!”
This.
m'kay
A big meh over here. Don't really care what she does. It's her life and no otaku or normal people should judge. I'm pretty sure they themselves does it and, maybe more worst things, and are no saints themselves.
brb, bashing her dad so that Hirano can stop nagging in Twitter
have fun~
"Aya Hirano’s latest episode is even stranger than the last, with the troubled idol vowing to quit Twitter over accusations of tax evasion and familial harassment, only to return to it as soon as her attention span lapsed."
I lol'd ^
I'm surprised she hasn't found an old business man to settle down with yet
my remedy for her: hot dickings
Her VA skills will not be missed. I was always a Nagato fan more of a Haruhi fan.
Bitch, shut the fuck up.
Second to that:>
yeah, she needs to stop.. ASAP..
Attwhore. Aya is trying too hard to promote herself. I don't give a shit about her at all and she isnt that good as a VA either.
Pretty much this.
Aya, please quit Twitter. Then all problem will be solve... well most of them..
and continue become a good voice actress...
People would be happy if she quits. They are probably just following her to troll her anyway
perhaps she is trolling us with her attention whoring? O.o?
Or whoring for us to troll..... eh?
wait
are you saying she is deliberately whoring to receive trolling? why she would want that?
for more publicity?
oh her fail logic~
Yawn... Next please
"I’ll Quit Twitter!”
<<<
Go ahead, make my day.
Raise your hand if you care!
....
*puts hand up*
*gets shot*
...but seriously, even though she is becoming quite the attention whore, it's amusing while it lasts. wonder what she'll come up with next? a cab driver "abducted" her parents?
I love how the phrase, "I'll quit twitter," was supposed to hold some kind of weight. I mean does that even HALF count as a threat?
A cab driver abducted her parents which activated her brain tumor. Later she found out that the cab driver was from twitter, so she's quitting twitter, but she'll come back later because her producers made her do it.
I'd like to see her quit.
Seriously, she's bluffing, tweeter is pretty much one ofthe only few things where people still give a fuck about her, so I'd like to see her try...
just quit ur publicity-whoreness act or quit on living
Aya needs to learn how to Tweet from one of the most cordial and fan friendly Tweeters..
The head-punting Randy Orton:
http://twitter.com/randyorton
This may sound like a joke, but it isn't. Randy is the epitome of the most fan friendly personality on Twitter. I love Aya and her anime work a ton, but she just has a knack for inflaming. At this point, it kind of seems like she's using it as a stream of thought. Even on the net, you have to conduct yourself. Especially as a celebrity.
Wow. There's no other word for it....
He's nice?!
Yeah. Off the wrestling persona, apparently he's one of the nicest guys ever. Also, if you interact with him on Twitter, he will DEFINITELY respond to you.
The furthest thing from the psychopath he plays on TV. XD
