Nothing much to say apart from this being one of the nicest pics I've seen of Aya-chan. Hmmmm. I sense something in the force. I sense that I'll be meeting up with Aya sometime this year... Interview with Aya and Down Town below - listening to her talk makes me melt. Image via Byonavi.

She is absolutely adorable, it's true. I hope she's as nice off-camera as she is on. As cute as her on-camera voice is, I really like her more natural voice, when she lets it slip.

Really liked her voice as Haruhi, and specially her singing voice. Had no idea she was so cute in reality though. Have to agree with you Danny, very nice pic of her that one, digging the brown hair.

This voice switching... stuns me everytime i see or realize it. I wonder if it's a japanese voice actor thing, i hardly have seen or rather heard it anywere else. (hardly as in none) I mean it's like two different people... not just high or deep voice. Surely amazing!
(ID #161562) Posted on 2008/03/26 08:45
Ok, I'm gonna be honest here. The reason why I started watching Haruhi Suzumiya was when I came across "this" exact video some years back. I was totally mesmerized at those words: "Dame Desho Hamada-San"

I was lucky enough to get her autograph at AX '07 (along with chihara minori's and goto yuko's) and watch the SOS concert front and center with some of my friends. Totally worth lining up hours for the autographed poster. Hope you get to meet her.
(ID #161578) Posted on 2008/03/26 09:36
I was there too. Waited a damn long time to get her autograph but it was absolutely worth it. I still remember the very moment. I got the Haruhi poster that they were handing out and it was Aya Hirano's turn to sign it. I said "Gokigenyo" with a slight bow and smile much like Konata did in episode 7 of Lucky Star. She then gasped in surprise, smiled and replied "Gokigenyo" in her Konata voice. Best moment ever.
(ID #162199) Posted on 2008/03/27 12:00
Oh wow she's such an amazing voice actor! And really gorgeous! Don't get mad at me, but her singing (not her voice but her singing) needs much improvement. She's off-tune, even off-pitch at times. D:

As you can tell from my avatar, I am a big fan of Hirano Aya. The following video is from an interview she did with NHK Anime Giga: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2613478 Love the panting sound she makes when Haruhi is running. Danny, when you do interview Aya-chan, let me know and I will fly over and help out ;-) Here is the entire interview (in 4 parts): http://youtube.com/watch?v=U5VyscGzX_E http://youtube.com/watch?v=gkSu2zVj3I4&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=vNXRq0oxdfw&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqCCCKUkIc&feature=related

Is that a wig she's wearing? I hope so coz I really like her much better with black hair. ^^ heheh...but nonetheless I'm such a big fan of her. I agree with some of the people here with regards to her natural voice. I like it much better when she's out of character (not portraying an anime char). Suits her the best. If you're really going to meet her Danny then you are one lucky trooper. Could you please say Hi for her for me when you do meet her? hahahah...I ain't joking. XD

i like the hair, but black suits her better, just look at my avatar. ^^ on the subject of voice and as mentioned by many, she has a cute on screen voice and a cuter natural voice which slips through every now and then. danny, best of luck when meeting her. and say hi to her from us.
