The End of Aya Hirano: “I Quit” “My Fan Club is Closed”

Aya Hirano has announced that she has “decided to quit” her agency Space Craft, and that she has closed her fan club (which apparently still had members) as well.
In a lengthy (for Hirano) update on her official blog, she claims that in fact she intended to quit her agency all along, having been engaged in stalled negotiations to leave since last year.
Hirano’s explanations have not always accurately reflected the actual course of events, but even her explanation does seem compatible with the leaked explanation that she was stripped of her musical career as punishment for having sex with her band and sexually harassing her recalcitrant bassist, only to be liquidated by the agency by way of the recent leaks, all of which seem to have come from sources close to the agency itself.
In fact the only allusion she makes to the scandal that has engulfed her is a conspicuously oblique one:
“I had intended to officially announce the closure of my fan club via this blog and Twitter on the 20th, but due to a variety of overlapping and astonishingly unexpected circumstances, so as not to further worry fans I will be bringing forward the announcement.”
The letter fans received today:
It is not clear whether the closure of her fan club was forced by her departure from her agency, or whether it was simply down to the sheer difficulty of maintaining a fan club in the absence of actual fans.
She gives no specific information as to the future direction of her career, although apparently she still entertains the notion that there will be one:
“We’ll be arranging future developments here after on a daily basis, so there should be happy announcements to follow.”
On the other hand, the only concerns being voiced by “fans” at this stage appear to be over whether Haruhi should be recast and when Hirano will make her appearance in an AV…

Amen.
I'm really glad her career took a massive hit for this.
It's not that she's a whore that bothers me. Many/most if not all women behave in the exact same manner. Fucking for money or fame.
My problem here was that she advertised her image and herself to be this pure unattached maiden in order to build up a fanbase, all the while she was fucking people for money and/or fame while keeping it a secret (as a public person).
If her public persona was true, the fact that she whored around constantly, I would have been fine with it. It's the duplicitous bullshit lying that makes me glad she's going down in flames.
Main problem with that is, that's how their business operates, same with the casting couch.
What you think she did all those geezers just for the money? That's not how it works. You want that role? You gotta give a little sugar to convince the "nice uncle" to play ball.
So in how far was herself duplicitous and in how far can you point towards the system just being a corrupt hellhole, which is to blame for all this.
You shouldn't generalize people... Sure, there are women who abuse the system with their bodies. B
yahoo serve that slut right
That's just plain ignorance.
No it isn't. The agency didn't fire her for sex with numerous people, that she had been talking about on TV.
They fired her for sexing up her band.
so...no more aya news in the future? yay!
I wouldn't be so optimistic.
somehow it doesn't seem important.. it shouldn't stop her from voicing Lucy I guess than ^^
sigh...if time could be reversed
yep... perhaps, maybe i can refund my faps back
Will miss the her news in sangaku
no, no we won't
We might.
Better than IshitHara. We only wish him Dead or in a coma and Aya to make an AV debut.
... best of both...
Ishara died from heart attack during sex with Aya AV out soon..
everyone wins?
I could just imagine from the line 'sexually harassing the bassist', that he was a 2d lover whom liked haruhi more than 3dpg, so she used the voice on him.
I told you all, but you wouldn't believe me even though the first article said 'aggressively pursued sex'.
Anyway, good comment lol, but maybe he didn't like Haruhi at all or had a girlfriend or way gay or just didn't want to.
Does this mean we will finally get a break from news about her? I know how much the writer is tsundere for her.
not rly.. her new management office has already been decided.. ^^
But DOES THIS mean we will finally get a break from news about her?
huh actually it should get worse =/
Well she's better having a news(AV Pls!)here than an annoying news from I-shit-Hara's antic in Sankaku.
honestly, I'd rather hear more about her than more stupid top 10 lists. But that was a hard choice to make.
No. There will be at leas one news about her everyday until we don't scrape enough money for author to fly to Japan and fuck her. Only then he will be satisfied.
I think the Author wants to be known as Aya's last remaining fan. He's hoping she'll fly to England and fall in love with him now that he's a successful blogger and she's unemployed (but still rich probably).
So Hirano-san, if you're reading this blog,
Please just go out with Artefact so we can stop hearing about you all the time!
HAHAHAHAHA rich. She's anything but rich.
1:15 Anon, 1:17 Anon, 22:50 Anon.
I smell samefag.
No, here is the headline for the next news with her.
"Aya Hiranos (hardcore)porn debut"
Have phun
could happen,
my penis is pleased by those words
Then the unthinkable happens. She has one.
He was probably the last remaining fan club member...
We're all still secretly tsundere for Aya.
F#ck u Artefact for making Aya articles!! "Clicks anyway"
I was hoping Artefact would finally shut the fuck up about her, but apparently that's never going to happen. :\
Not while you keep reading these articles, I'm afraid.
Hey Artefact? Notice how none of all these Aya-lovers ('cept me) noticed the whole sexual aggression thing in the first band article you put down.
HAH!
Anyway, we're not going to keep reading Aya articles about nothing y'know, I can't imagine how she can top this while outside the businesses and I doubt she can stay on variety shows for long either once the shock effect wears off (if she's good enough for them). I guess she could be a troll full-time but that won't pay the bills and get her in more trouble, so... I think you've got 6 months left then it dries out over the next 6 months, at best.
Why dontcha post some goshdarn galleries?
We MISS them.
anyway, thnx for making all these articles on Aya, and making me care about something I never cared about before I knew I should care about it ;P
(yeah, I know I'm letting myself excite by a tabloid on purpose, at least I'm not wasting my time turning my nose up at what I'm reading like most of you readers are)
still tho, I think the lifeline of this topic is over....
When each Aya article has 200+ comments... I doubt it.
den y u here den?...
...I'm never using lolspeak again.
He won't stop. He is crazily in love with Aya.
It is sad she won't be able to work anymore, and it is a result of her not being able to keep her screwing outside of the workplace.
The Otaku are hypocrites, but so is Sanku too, her agency has been reasonable, they don't mind if she talks about her sex life on TV.
sexually harassing her recalcitrant bassist
OH WOW. This is what I said! HAH!
That is, I'm not surprised, but pleased it is being stated so clearly.
Well, just remember, sex is ok but it should generally be kept out of the workplace, and men can be victims too!
(everyone was downvoting my comments on earlier articles because I dared to have sympathy for the band members...
and it turns out SHE DID IN FACT sexually harass her subordinates!
Told you that you were all deluded and hypocritical too.
She should be allowed to have sex as much as she wants as long as she keeps it out of the workplace.
That she used her authority over the other band members to get 'em to do it with her is only one of the many negative issues associated with such conduct.)
well, in FACt...
one of the first articles did say so:
AGGRESSIVELY pursued sex
y'all idiots who can't read lol :P
NO REBUTTAL AFTER - 2 - days on SANKA?!?!?
MWUAHAHAHAHAHA
srsly tho, it would be nice if she keeps voice acting despite this excretable behavior, and that her life isn't ruined (though she deserves to face sexual harassmen charges)... but I wouldn't mind if they found a replacement either.
Oh well, maybe Artefact can start reporting on other Seiyuu again...
Not a chance I tell you. Pretty soon we'll hear something about some crazy idea she came up with and the shit will fly again with fresh new force
good riddance
Not going to happen, the guy is obsessed with her, why else would he keep posting every scrap of detail about what kind of toast she had in the morning?
But we can hope.
Why do you people keep coming back to watch the death throes of her career? Unfortunately nobody here displays so much as a fraction of this interest in other seiyuu...
Any news on Kugimiya Rie? <3
Sakamoto Maaya got married to Suzumura Kenichi.
They were co-seiyuus in several anime together including Gundam Seed Destiny, Black Butler II, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Birdy the Mighty Decode.
So There! :)
Can't you instead cover the life of Kana Hanazawa?
I read these Aya articles because I read everything on sancom, so I suppose viewer counts don't completely represents if the subject is liked or not.
I read it because its written in juicy tabloid style, no more no less. I'm losing interest now though, but she's good for another few months.
Wasn't Rie involved in a sex scandal recently?
No news on Kugimiya Rie. Her life is quite shrouded in mystery.
Please post more news on other seiyuu, Artefact.
