The world of Seiyuu is just like any other Entertainment Industry throughout the world, full of their own internal politics unseen to the mass public. Those hungry and desperate for success ill resort to any measures to get ahead including selling out their own bodies, blackmailing, backstabbings, etc.
So, that cute seiyuu you idolise might not have been so innocent as s/he have made herself out to be. s/he is human afterall.

Basically :-
Quote:
It was reported years ago that the sound director of Z Gundam, Sadayoshi Fujino, and Yukana Nogami had an affair causing Fujino and the original seiyuu for Rosamia Badam (they were married), Kayoko Fujii to divorce. Nogami went to America for a year to escape the negative press, and changed her stage name to just Yukana after coming back.
When Z Gundam: A New Translation came about, many of the main female characters had new seiyuu, and surprise, Yukana had the role of Four Murasame and Fujino was the sound director. It later came to light that Saeko Shimazu (according to her official website) was never properly contacted for an audition for the role of Four Murasame in the movies (and neither was Yuko Mizutani for her role as Sarah Zabiarov). Fujino gave the excuse that he tried to contact her at her home, but the proper way would be to go through her agent/management office. Tomino said that he was deceived by Fujino at one point, but in another interview he said he wanted new seiyuu for the female roles, despite roles like Reccoa Londe, Emma Sheen, and Beltorchika still having their respective original seiyuu.
So it may seem possible that Tomino may have wanted new seiyuu for some roles, but the facts surrounding Fujino still make him look quite suspicious, and there's also rumors of him using other seiyuu he's fond of in anime he works on. So who knows what his relationship was with Yuu Asakawa, who ended up as the new voice of Rosamia...
