Aya Hirano’s virginal seiyuu credentials are at an all time low after her TV admission that she thinks it best to marry at least three times in life, presumably by getting rid of any inconvenient husbands with a quick divorce when they get too old.
The statements come by way of a recent talent appearance:
”Do you have plans to get married?”
“No.
But I can’t say I would never do it.
If you think of marriage as being a once-off thing, it’s really hard.
So, I think marrying three times in your life is enough.”
She goes on to reiterate that all her lovers have been older men…
2ch is unsparing as ever:
“She doesn’t want to get married!?”
“Aya’s an angel!”
“Stop talking about your love life or it’ll be another debacle, Aya…”
[After her “3 times” statement:]
“Why does this girl feel it necessary to use bitch appeal all the time…”
“3 times…”
“She says she’ll marry at least 3 times??????????”
“Divorce is assumed!”
“What a bitch!”
“What the hell is with her marriage plans.”
“She’ll have already planned the divorce when she marries?”
“She has it all worked out.”
“Even more bitch utterances… Aya’s hobby is getting married!?”
“She’ll probably never marry once anyway.”
“Lifeliners all dead.”
“Marry me once!”
“You guys are in with a chance.”
“Does she think there are people who plan marriages on the basis of a divorce?”

She's like the Brittany Spears of Japan.
i couldnt of described it better myself
Leave Aya alone!!!!
SHE'S A HUMAN BEING! LEAVE HER ALONE!
Oh she will be left alone, that's for sure.
When she herself is 45, bald, out of money and loose on pussy, she'll wither away in a hospice, dying from disease brought by HIV.
And 12:51 ruins the reference.
I see what you did there. Lol.
Sometimes, I think Aya should not talk about these kind of things. She's a nice voice-actress, but talking about these kind things is not her forte, she doesn't know any subtleties. Just keep your own private life private. Anyway, I thought only house-wives who watch Desperate Housewives would talk about these things like divorces etc..
Yeah you don't know anything about women.
Except for Aya is attractive.
heck yea
three times a lady, that one
she is not respected by me. she likes attention too much and saying something like 3 marriages is juuuust right, isn't something a woman would say and honestly believe. girls dream of the perfect romantic thing and want it to last forever. in example their "first true love." they would never want to part with him, unless he was unfaithful. sounds to me like she is trying to be "cool." but hell, if she thinks it's cool to get married 3 times to be happy, i'll be glad to shack up with her and get half her shit in the divorce.
7:29 knows nothing about women and sounds like a twelve year old.
@Anonymous 7:29
Perhaps she is just being realistic and realised that most people nowadays don't have a succesful first marriage. It's true most women think that they'll have a perfect marriage and nothing wiil go wrong, I know most of my friends do. I for one like to think that one, marriage is pointless nowadays, and two, if I ever get suckered into it, he probably won't last as statistics show. Plus since I'm under 27, there is an even bigger chance of divorce.
Marriage being 3 times sounds like it's coming from a woman from this new generation. Modern perceptions on marriage are in recognition of the fact that people change. I take her statement to mean more like she recognizes that people do change, and as such, sometimes at those points in life you reach a state where being with that person through certain scenarios isn't healthy for either side.
Labeling it as a certain number of marriages is probably just her trying to truncate that idea and not articulating it well at all. To many of us younger people, the 'eternal' nature of marriage is quite idiotic. Myself included. If you meet someone who can adapt to how both your lives change over time and stick together, then one is enough. If you are faced with difficulty and one decides they can't change to be the new person they need to be in the relationship over ten years or so, then it's time to separate.
Marriage is always a choice, it's not meant to be a binding contract like it is now. The eternal nature is a wonderful concept, but when it becomes a prison through circumstance, and one side or the other is not open to adapting to the changes that naturally come with life and relationships, then I believe they should be respected and respect each other for knowing that their time together in that form of relationship is complete.
That said, the problem is so few people know how to communicate anymore that most are completely unaware that they even are in a phase where they need to adapt, thus they sabotage themselves. So it's dependent on the couples' awareness level.
I think you give her too much credit as to think she would be that insightful about anything.
Wish she return as Haruhi Seiryuu in a new season.
in a new endless eight ?
Just kidding.
What do you mean by attractive ?
Her bald spots ?
her thinning hair ?
her wrinkly face which is sub average for a japanese woman ?
When I ride the subway I see way hotter japanese girls and aplenty of them so whats the obsession with her all about ?
I think she's decent
but if you walk through any decently busy street in Japan, you'll see one considerably more attractive girl than her per minute, at least.
Well, at least her teeth are above par for a Japanese woman.
By attractive I mean attractive dumbshit. I've seen plenty of attractive girls who had problems with their hair, and she isn't wrinkly. Also, the majority if girls in Japan are fugly. You must have one hell of a subway ride because the majority I see look like shit. There are idols, and then there is reality. In all my time in Japan I've seen the unfortunate reality and the stupid foreigners who think it will be idol central.
I wish I could hear Aya say that in her Konata voice:
"Once you reach that 'FLAG' in marriage, it's time to take the alternate route and dump your husband for some NTR (Nettorare) Ending~"
@Kyo
"She's like the Brittany Spears of Japan."
Except unlike Brittany Spears who shaved her own head bald, Aya's hair is balding on it's own...
That said, Brittany Spears never VA'ed in any cartoon, anime, or videogame characters...
They are both bald?
I lawled.
No, she's the Charlie Sheen of Japan.
NOT WINNING.
Who the hell is Brittany? You mean Britney Spears, right?
Well, she's not. Aya hasn't been divorced even once or remarried, doesn't have children, doesn't have all her hair cut in a weird mood, is not an alcoholist/drugsaddict and is certainly not controlled by her boyfriend(s) like Britney Spears did.
Well the world knows Britney Spears is trash.
its funny cuz ppl actually can't read sht.
she says:
"So, I think marrying three times in your life is enough.”"
it means it shouldn't exceed 3 times.
learn to read b4 joining the bandwagon and u guys might sound more sophisticated
And perhaps I'm looking at it through rose tinted glasses, but she doesn't even say that this is her intent, as so many are claiming in the responses.
Could very well be that she's taking into account that the first marriage could end up being "a mistake" that shouldn't have occurred because the partners weren't compatible in the first place.
And before anyone starts shouting BS, please keep in mind the divorce rates in the Western World. Heck, in the US it's a 50-50 chance that your marriage will fail.
Leaves marriage 2 and 3, with 2 possibly being aimed for long term, partners actually being compatible, but then one of them dies.
Would that otherwise mean that they'd have to stay a widow/widower for the rest of their lives?
Enter marriage three, at which point the person in question should've figured out what they want in a relationship, what they're capable of offering in return etc etc.
Because she does have a bit of a point with regards to: "If you think of marriage as being a once-off thing, it’s really hard." If you only get one shot at it, then it's just as liable that you'll end up too paralyzed to actually make the jump, in fear of making a mistake and ending up with someone you end up loathing for the rest of your lives. (See also the declining marriage numbers in Japan)
Now granted this does raise the spectre of divorces and all the legal ramifications as well.
But what it boils down to is. You're allowed one mistake, two is insurance for unexpected natural mishap (aka death), but three is pretty much the limit of what one should do.
Fairly arbitrary nr. mayhaps, but three is considered a magical nr. after all, so it's logical that she'd end up there from a social-cultural/historical pov.
Penultimate paragraph has the synopsis. :P
Usually the case with long responses, check the last or the penultimate paragraph for the summary.
Troll me baby one more time!
No she looks as house wife from 70 - something like in Fallout 3 - except darker hair.
I can *bet* that Wendee Lee is too forever-alone to dare to say this in public.
...Thought she's already married...?
...Forget it, my specialty is LatAm dubbers, and her life is too obscure for me to know that. Which remembers me, I can *bet that Rebeca Gómez wouldn't dare to say this in public. ;D
"presumably by getting rid of any inconvenient husbands with a quick divorce when they get too old."
And? What girl wants an old, balding, wrinkly, inactive man when she can get a hot, young, energetic Japanese guy? This seems like a no-brainer. Especially with as many guys that want her. Haters gonna hate.
Then she should marry the hot young energetic dude the first time then retard.
Maybe a richer, younger, fitter, hotter energetic dude will come along later. Women do the choosing in relationships, and there is no reason an attractive woman should restrict herself to one guy. *shrugs* Women do this all the time. I don't know why people are getting on Aya's case about this.
People usually don't blatantly speak like a gold digger out in public.
Yeah but people know it happens. She just happened to say it. If a girl is attractive, MOST of the time this is what will come out of it.
...I smell feminist narcissists in this thread...
...I smell women in this thread...
Yes there are women who do this all the time, I didn't say that was right either now did I? Marrying someone for their money is fucking evil. Being with someone even if you don't get married, for their money is fucking evil. What the fuck ever happened to love in this world for fucks sakes.
So it's totally cool for you to marry someone with lingering intention of getting divorced?
I don't feel comfortable myself talking about about love and morality on a site like this, but as a guy, I DON'T EVER wanna marry a woman who actually thinks that she'll dump me at some point in our lives. That basically defeats the whole point of marriage. Think of all the 'compensation' charges made on court based on the assumption that 'whatever income he makes is something we did together, thus I deserve half of everything he ever got' bullshit.
If you don't plan on committing to a guy, just don't marry him. Fuck him, shave him off, whatever. Just DON'T GET MARRIED. Legal complications are more complex that you think, you cocksucker.
So you're okay with it as long as they don't get married? Are you stupid? You're no better.
lol, you think dating is the same thing as marriage? Guess you are still in puberty stage huh?
So you think divorce is as simple as a slow talk that ends with the words, "Let's don't see each other anymore"? Unless you live in your own country with your own rules, divorce has a lot of complications.
If the man wasn't legally bound to the bitch by marriage, at least he can opt out just as easily as the bitch want to. He won't have to face risk of the bitch playing desperate and claiming compensations just because she was his former wife.
13:13, like I said, you think it's okay to discard people like that just because you don't have the title of "husband" or "wife?" Are you guys really that stupid? You're no better than Aya if you seriously think that's okay.
No one said anything about divorce being simple. What the hell are you talking about?
You can live a relationship with someone, in the same house, like a married couple. You don't need to get married to do it.
And yeah, beside the whole ceremony and the legal implication, it's pretty much the same thing.
@Anon14:32
You make it seem as if legal implications are trivial matters. What are you, 16?
You fucking idiot. No one said anything about legal matters or divorce. Only you are bitching about that because obviously it's a soft spot for you.
We are asking why you think it's okay to discard people regardless of whether or not they are married.
one comes to mind, Katherine Zeta Jones
She's waiting for him to die to get all that money while keeping her good image.
Haters gonna hate? Lol.
Presumably she wants an old guy because he has money, revealing her gold digging tendencies. You'd think she'd have at least have the decency to stay with the man until he dies.
Well it's a vicious cycle. The only reason a "hot, young, energetic guy" would want her in the first place would be because she's got money (that she got from her previous husband).
..........Is your icon a pirate dog?
you are a horrible person obviously
All the men here are hypocrites. Let's just go back to the articles about pedos and molesters so all the men can start cheering the person on again.
Or let's go to all the articles where the men think it would be cool to be fucking more than one woman while in a relationship.
But no, only women are horrible people.
You guys are fucking stupid. xD Of all the sites to act high and mighty on, you clearly chose the wrong one.
Well, because women are a one use product only?:)
@15:58: What do you expect from a site full of bitter trolls and a webmaster that makes absurd headlines just for page views?
WTF is a one use product? If I get a good girl I'm not letting her go. Damn basement dwelling virgin.
22:11 thinks making stupid comments like that makes him look like a cool, masculine man.
Oh wow you're so awesome. We all really respect you now.......
"presumably by getting rid of any inconvenient husbands with a quick divorce when they get too old."
I think Artefact has this all wrong. She's admitted to preferring "older men", so I think she's aiming for quite the opposite. If she marries a rich 90 year old, in a few years he'll die, and she can cash in on his estate. Then, marry another rich 90 year old, and repeat. By completion of the third marriage, she figures she should be set for life. No divorces are necessary, though she might have to expedite the process with an "accident" or two if someone happens to stick around too long.
