Maybe something's getting lost in the translation here.... all I'm saying is that maybe the scout deserves a break for not recognizing the Hirano Aya. A bunch of previous posts are all "zomg fire the bastard", but maybe the scout recognized her voice being good, but not as Aya's.

as for how she actually sounds sylph, go look up the God Knows performance live.

I've never heard her real voice. Now that this news made me wonder, mind posting a video?
Nobody has ever heard her real voice and lived.

Probably something close to this though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfsSLY-MYmg&fmt=18

She has changed her 'real' voice a few times in her career. Early voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtEdrqF5L7U&fmt=22#t=1m40s - Around 1:40 her 'normal' voice.

Nothing wrong with a little overreaction, she's a woman after all.


Yeah, becuz it's totally ok for a woman to overreact, it's not like she is being annoying while doing that, in fact she is being quite adorable!

Funny. I admit it might not be the most natural reaction but additionally to the rest I mentioned in that post, why not be a little forgiving.

Really, I absolutely loved her reaction, no pretentions. She probably had nothing else on her mind and spoke out of silliness. She probably shopped more out of shock or embarrassment.

Yeah, lets all quote this! Maybe we might get our so longed attention.

So, here is your beloved attention. now stfu.

i wonder why people got so surprised in such reaction.
Like mentioned before, she is a women.
Some do that, irl.

Lol @ people who think aya would be some kind of "different" women.

She is so good that she got scouted twice. That's quite an achievement.
As for the scout, he gains two. He scouted a pro. (Even tho she already is a seyuu. lmao), and he also is so into his job that he scouts anyone no matter if that person is already employed or not.

It was okay for her to overract in this situation. I mean, I would've been pissed too for not being recognized for the work I did the last few years. Especially by someone who works in the same business.

Good one Hirano-san!!

Buying lots of clothes eases frustration? That must had been a very expensive experience, getting scouted to be a seiyuu.. *laugh*

I can't decide if people thinking that is a normal reaction for a woman to have or the fact the women they know DO react like that is why the majority of MAL is single.

Guy probably didn't recognize her without all the make-up and air brushing in her publicity shots. Not a big deal either way. I'm amazed this topic has more pages than the weekly manga or DVD sales ranking.

There's not much to talk about in those threads considering it's the same anime or manga that get ranked every week.

That, and most people on this site probably care more about Aya Hirano than DVD/manga sales. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with that, I suppose...

And yet another Aya Hirano news post to be added to the ranks of Sankaku Complex. If it isn't already there.

But I thought it was funny nonetheless.

Hmm, that was a little embarassing on the seiyu scout's part. While I admit Hirano Aya did overreacted, she brought alot to being a seiyu so the situation made her feel underwhelm about her work. Hirano Aya certainly could have handle the situation better, but I understand where she is coming from though. ^^

It'd be different if he told her she was pretty and told her to try out for a modeling job.

Indeed. It would probably be worse.

She may be famous for her voice more than her face, but I would argue she's got an abnormally high media presence. Still, though, I have to agree it was an honest mistake by the scout... It's not like she was wearing a name tag -- she was probably dressed casually and trying to avoid attention (until some silly guy walked up and surprised her).

I suspect that Aya dramatized it a little in her blog, though... for the sake of added moe. She had probably planned to buy a ton of clothes to begin with, but having an excuse to flaunt it didn't hurt. ;P

Lesson

1. The scout probably should memorize the faces of some famous Seiyu

2. The guy obviously must have some talent for recognizing talent. He gets props for that.

3. The Seiyu is an arrogant self centered gas bag. Seriously, the right thing to do in that situation is to make a joke out of it. Play along with the guy and you'll get a funny story that you can tell others about.

Actually, that's exactly what she did.

久しぶりに109に行きました!

スカウトみたいなキャッチの人をブッチして歩いてたら、

「声いいから声優とかどうですか?」って言われたー(;口;)
ガーン(__;)
「もぉやってます!」って言ってダッシュした…(ノд<。)゜。
そのせいだかなんだかわからんが、すんごい大量に買ってしまいました…。


He walked up and asked her if she might want to be a seiyuu, she had a brief surprised 'teardrop' moment and then answered, "moo yattemasu!" -- basically "I've already given that a try!" -- as she dashed away.

She didn't stay around to have a nice chat with him, but I think her response was actually perfect... it's more polite to the scout than embarassing him, and is cleverly scarcastic. And it gave her a nice story to share on her blog. :)

Now that I read the actual text, I'm still thinking the same thing. I see nothing cleverly sarcastic about that. The dashing away part makes it seem rude.

well, she did say mention it was crowded... rather than dashing, she probably just walked away between other people. It would be funny if he never even realized it.

edit: I don't think anyone could run in here:
