aya hirano feature in newtype usa

“As soon as I grabbed the paper, my other hand immediately went to my hip. Haruhi just makes me do things like that. Even during the recordings, I felt like I needed to strike cocky poses right in the middle of the recording booth. But I recently noticed that Haruhi’s a bit pigeon-toed, which I think is very lady-like… it’s so cute!”

Aya Hirano’s the Francisco Liriano of seiyuu. I’d be shocked if she doesn’t crank out a few Cy Youngs over the next few years. Upcoming starring role for Aya is for Sumomomo Momomo: The Strongest Bride on Earth (starts Oct 5), adapted from the manga of the same name. I know nothing of this show except it has a website.

(Though technically, isn’t Miki’s mom the strongest bride on Earth? Who or what could top her? I scared…)

  1. I wouldn’t call her a Liriano, but more of a Brandon Webb or a Roy Oswalt, who have been around for at least a few years, but went under the SportsCenter radar until now. Whereas Liriano just busted out this year after only pitching like 20 innings last year. Enomoto Atsuko circa 1999 or 2001 would be more like Francisco Liriano I think.

  2. That. is. so. awesome.

  3. pigeon toed =?

  4. aya looks soo cute in that picture! :3

  5. Haruhi’s cockiness plus Aya’s cuteness…Oh yeah…

    pigeon toed: having (or standing with) your feet inward.

    Haven’t seen Haruhi doing this tho. Have to check the episodes again…

  6. >> I wouldn’t call her a Liriano, but more of a Brandon Webb or a Roy Oswalt

    Great segue for my AL pennet race rant… I think that the Twins would be leading the AL Central now if they started with Liriano at the start of the season like the Tigers did with Verlander. Liriano would be worth at least 3-4 extra wins by now.

    As for ROY, I’m going with Verlander. Liriano gets much better run support. Morneau and Mauer or Pudge and Ordonez? As for Weaver, he shares too much of his brother’s choking DNA.

    As for the Hirano comparison, while Aya did work on KG, she was like 13 at the time. So it’s like Liriano in the minors. Then Always My Santa would be her stint as a reliever. Finally, like how Liriano busted out with that 11-1 streak, Aya busted out with Haruhi. Aya’s current college years could be like Liriano’s current injury. (Worse case scenarios for both are also similiar… imagine Liriano undergoing Tommy John surgery or Aya hooking up with the Japanese Kevin Federline… *shudder*)

  7. I demand Aya to cosplay as haruhi while doing this pose! it would make my day!

    Come on let’s dance, come on let’s dance baby!

  8. >>>Haven’t seen Haruhi doing this tho. Have to check the episodes again…

    She does it in the opening sequence at the last bit. I haven’t noticed any other time.

  9. Sumomomo Momomo is one of the funniest mangas ever in an AoMM (or more like lolitron) way

  10. drool

  11. Ayashirosama is wearing a shirt I can easily picture Oharuhisama wearing! Not to mention, I want that shirt… I need more Japanese clothing.

    Anyways. I figure JASON is the perfect person to ask this. I’m creating a manga, and what do you say to a Pink Pigtailed Loli Yakuza? Bad idea?

    And there’s another character who lost her memories and thinks she had a twin she akogare’d. I just need someone mindlessly saying “Oneesama” every page she appears on.

  15. A guy… with a butterfly for a mask? A guy… with a BUTTERFLY, for a mask?

  16. Heh, I just read this article about half an hour ago.
    Newtype USA subscription… probably the worst 90 bucks I’ve spent this year… D:
    But Aya Hirano is worth it…
    Isn’t she?
    ;_;

  17. >> Anyways. I figure JASON is the perfect person to ask this. I’m creating a manga, and what do you say to a Pink Pigtailed Loli Yakuza? Bad idea?

    Wait, I’m the meido expert not the loli one… so I think a pink haired loli meido-yakuza would be best.

    >> Newtype USA subscription… probably the worst 90 bucks I’ve spent this year… D:

    Agreed. As I said before, I’m switching over to Megami.

  18. >> Wait, I’m the meido expert not the loli one… so I think a pink haired loli meido-yakuza would be best.

    True. Good thing I asked though, or I would have forgotten to include a meido in there somewhere.

    But in any case, I think you’re the best to ask these sort of things to…

  19. >> But in any case, I think you’re the best to ask these sort of things to…

    Damn scary thought. You’re going to let me read this manga? :)
