Scandal stricken seiyuu Aya Hirano has announced her new agency (“Grick”) and pledged a new fan club after closing her old one – but soliciting names from her “fans” on Twitter may not have been the brightest of ideas…
She went so far as to acknowledge the least offensive of the suggestions (“Aya Style” from her famous bikini blunder and “Lifeliners” from her “fans are my lifeline” speech, as well as chirpy quote from her post-scandal quit announcement):
“I’ve got to think up a name for my new FC, it’s pretty tough… I have to think something up soon!”
“Lots of fans were kind enough to send suggestions – if you have any, tag it and send it over please!”
“As expected, AYA STYLE came up.”
“And yes, Lifeliners also got suggested. Are you being serious with me?”
“Your kind suggestions may or may not be used – thanks everyone.”
Not surprisingly, asking 235,000 of what appear to be the Twitter equivalent of ambulance chasers to submit these names may not have been well advised – though at least she did not ask 2ch:
“I laughed at ‘sex tape ignorers’…”
“That one got banned pretty quick.”
“It’s not funny that even she recognises the lifeliner one…”
“At least think up your own fanclub’s name yourself.”
“We won’t give up until ‘sex tape ignorers’ is the top candidate!”
“Stop it, my sides ache…”
“That is going a bit far even for her. Still, she’s the one ignoring it, not us…”
“I’m starting to wonder whether this is actually her tweeting now…”
“How about ‘Kiss shot’?”
“NyanNyan!”
“Screwing about bitches!”
“Life Liners Style (LLS)”
“A loser and her loser comrades!”
“Leave her alone already!”
“She’s just mocking her fans now. It’s too late if even she’s talking about some of this stuff…”
“Will it have any members? She hasn’t offered a word of explanation about the leaked photos.”
“Just how many fans of her as a talent rather than a seiyuu are there?”
“This person’s threads are always endless. She certainly attracts a certain kind of attention…”
In other news, the level of harsh treatment meted to Hirano by her old agency seems to suggest more than a little acrimony – not only are they the prime suspect in leaking her sex photos in the first place, they have apparently forced her to abandon her old fan club and even stripped her of her old official domain, which now helpfully redirects all her traffic to Yahoo.
Rumours of her having been humiliatingly forced to grovel on the floor in front of her old agency’s staff in the traditional Japanese fashion, by way of atonement for sexually exploiting her band, seem increasingly believable.

"Forehead Defenders"
"Forehead Troopers" sounds better...
Now Aya's trademark feature is "forehead"?
...Interesting..
so the Forehead Mole-ster. Sounds good to me :D
All of 2ch noticed it when they were validating the leaked pictures...
We're too busy looking to see which eye she's crossing ....
What? Nobody notice her mole near her eyes?
4-Headers.
lolpun
Forehead Defenders
Facepalm Division
Deko Hogosha Dan
I like yours.
Sounds like a minority ethnic group.
Oh crap.And I thought there won't be anymore Aya news here in Sankaku.
dude thats not england lol
fail England is fail
oh wait...
lol good one : )
And ROFL on the jokes here and above... 2chan seems to be losing a lot of its vitriol, guess the shock effect is wearing off.
Which is good, laughter is right before forgetting someone.
She's got bad work ethics, but she doesn't deserve most of the hate... hopefully we can all forget her after that
You mistake my jabs. In no way do I want to forget her or see her forgotten. The work ethic you say is 'bad' is better than most people you will ever meet. She is a seiyuu and wanted to expand herself and tried as much as she could, but perhaps she pushed herself too much and spread herself thin. Most people you know will stick to their jobs that they hate because they're weak-willed and 'comfortable' rather than being what they can be.
Only pathetic failures blame others for trying and failing, and those are the people who hate Aya for trying. If she continues to make the same mistakes now, however, then she will prove that she hasn't learned much. I just hope that she will take a lesson and move forward.
But I will be her Forehead Trooper/Defender as long as she keeps trying her best :P
I still fail to see why that's actually so much of a problem. It wasn't... until it was made one. It's not like she could get ahead by sleeping with them. It's all that 'purity' bullshit that 2ch has imposed on idols and seiyuu. So I don't honestly count that against her at all. As far as I'm concerned, it's pretty funny for her to just completely violate that and prove that women can like sex too. They can't even fathom it and think she's evil or something.
Either way, it's not very professional I guess to sleep with band mates, but... if we didn't know about it, then would it ever have made a difference?
It wouldn't have made a difference at all but I don't blame her for needing a release though. She's gone through a lot and still has much to go through. No doubt this has done damage to the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise. Fans have already said they didn't want someone like Aya to "taint the purity of Haruhi" or some BS, never mind if she's good or bad at acting. So there's that to deal with, at least.
"Bad work ethics refer to her sleeping with her band and destroying them from within."
Cry me a river. I'd love to be "destroyed from within" if you know what I mean.
Bad work ethics refer to her sleeping with her band and destroying them from within. Not her trying to go into acting.
^how the hell could anyone miss that?
do not shit where you eat. or 'don't fuck ppl you work with esp if you are aya hirano'
Why is this website so obsessed with this woman???!?
The "author" is tsundere for her, thats why.
And now a post where she was accused unfairly?
I also never understood Aya mascot...
With so many Idols in jp that she is special?
Fanboy sankako on the team?
I'm positively against "Band-bangers". Too obvious.
Band campers
How about "The Golden Rule"?

NyanNyan Boys Band.
Man 2chs are pathetic.
Shes a grown woman, who cares who she sleeps with. All you should care about is how she does her job.
But she quit her job to act... but failed.
This, Agreed.
I don't know why you keep repeating this same drivel when it has nothing to do with the article.
I love her dress! Really pretty Qipao!
P.S. She's still a pretty and talented seiyuu.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. "Switch to hardcore porn!". I'll become a fan.
Harem Route!
regardless of all this she's still a great voice actress and i hope her career makes a comeback
She still can continue as job for being a voice actor for those anime that need her.
Come on she did a great job before, why should she deserved like this?
I wonder when will some whiny trap called Kurissu Kurokkeru come up with a new video titled "LEAVE AYA ALONE!".
ambulance chasers ? wuts that..
Aya Hirano
AGAIN?????!!!
Instead of Hirano, I'd rather read an article about the new Panty & Stocking Worst Album that came out recently and blows everything away.
Artefact, please make it so.
We could use some quality reading every once in a while.
>“A loser and her loser comrades!”
oh look who's talking 2ch
lol
they really love hating so they can stop feeling miserable about themselves for a moment...
whenever i read stuff like that i imagine a guy to be maniacally laughing in front of his computer for a while until the tears start coming and it goes slowly but steadily into sobbing from there on until he ask himself
>what am i even doing here? *sob* ;_;
What? You never insulted anyone over the Internet about what they do? Oh wait, you just did...
1. i never excluded myself, i'm not that much in denial
2. i still think what 2ch does in this particular case is a different level that an occasional trolling
Is the anime industry this starved of people to blather on about? Or is it the people WE know, are this pathetic that we can't stop making Aya seem to be more than she is.
How did it all come to this?
Looking back at the articles this past 12 months in chronological order under the "Hirano Aya" tag on SanCom paints a sad story of how one got so blinded by her own hype that she ended up being the architect of her own downfall.
Starting from her performing seiyuu career suicide by admitting she has a lover before she even turned 30 last August. And then going into a Twitter spat with her dwindling followers, but the coup de grace to her seiyuu career has got to be the spectacular bust-up with her agency early this year.
I really don't know what to say besides being exasperated by it all.
"the future harem"
suggest that
As strange as this may sound, I really DO begin to like her. I mean, she's acting like a REAL LIFE PERSON is and not some kind of made up uber-idol like every other seiyuu out there. At least she shows human features. Plus she successfully trolled all those otaku virgins which is just awesome, too.
Spacecraft exploited her from the time she was 14 right up to now, and then made her grovel. She may be foolish, but they are scum.
I'm SankakuComplex and I HATE AYA HIRANO.
She's totally a hitler.
I guess. not really.
