Said it before, I'll say it again...it's amazing what sound engineers can do for a poor singing voice. Studio recordings have nearly killed music.

    I think what he means is that the Aya's singing has been edited.. I'm not too sure of the process myself, but here's what I imagine: they record her singing the songs a few times, and take the best bits out of each version, and combine it til it makes the whole song, then they edit it. That way, the singing sounds perfect.
    Because.. honestly, even though I'm a fan of Aya-chan, her live singing is not very good.

this song is used for the ED of Nijuu Mensou no Musume.
didn't realize that hirano aya voiced the main chara until i heard the ED song. i thought that if she do the ED song maybe she do the voice too. so i checked it out and it's true

Pretty good, I'm not an Aya Hirano fan, but this song is outstanding... well not so good as God Knows, but very addictive

I was at Aya Hirano's oncert at Anime Expo last year. It was awesome. But at the Haruhi event,it seemed like she was put aside and left out not knowing what was going on.

Great! I'm not much a fan of J-pop, but anyone can see she really has a talent there.

But there are so many Jpop bands out there that I can only say she excels over everything else on voice acting...

Also, I can't help but remember how cute her real voice is... very Konata-ish.
