“Reborn” is the catchy headline for the Aya Hirano interview published in December’s Rolling Stone magazine (Japan edition). In the interview Aya will discuss how she is dedicating herself to starting over after switching agencies this year amidst scandal and controversy. She will also discuss her thoughts on the many issues facing Japan this coming year.
Aya spent much of the early part of 2011 in a negative media spotlight – announcing she would be ending her music career and no longer taking on new anime character rolls. Photos were leak of her in suggested sexual encounters with her previous band mates. Her agency stated they ended her contract because of these behaviors. This same agency had seemed to be been pushing Aya into more of a “celebrity” roll with many television appearances and other media generating efforts for the past 2 years.
Though it is unclear if Aya wanted this new direction also as she herself seems very adept at generating media conversation via her many and often questionable twitter postings. Aya’s new fanclub even goes by the name of twitter hash-tag like #AYAMOTO

Hirano Aya (24) celebrated the launch of her new fan club #AYAMOTO with a live performance at Roppongi Nicofarre in Tokyo. The official name of the event, ‘New Fan Club Launch Commemoration & Birthday LIVE’ was the seiyuu and singer’s first live performance in 10-months. She treated 300 of her fans to 14-songs, including the opening theme song of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, “Bouken Desho Desho”.
Aya also announced that she will release a new CD sometime next year and declared to the audience, “I will continue my work as a voice actress.” These announcements are welcome news to her fans and in contrast to her antics and statements made during the past year that ended in her leaving and signing with a new agency. Though followers of Aya will clearly see her love for Twitter is stronger than ever as she strategically uses a hash tag for her fan club name.
