I find it absolutely inexplicable that Shizuka Itou was omitted on all lists of the previous page. I have to admit that I'm biased, since she's usually voicing the characters I love the most, but I could listen to her reading the tokyo phonebook and not be bored for hours.

Lately I'm starting to like Ayana Taketatsu from K-ON!and MM!....
And I always love Yui Horie's voice same with Rie Tanaka. I like Saori Hayami's sweet voice too. But my most favorite seiyuu is Kana Hanazawa I love her voice so much. She can express the emotions of her character so well. |

Sixth Annual Seiyuu Awards
These apparently are just the first set of awards to be announced, but I'm happy to see my favorite male actor, Sakurai Takahiro, received the "overseas award" this year. His resume

The complete list of seiyuu awards was released. Yuuki Aoi won best lead actress with Hirata Hiroaki winning best actor. A sad award in memoriam to Kawakami Tomoko, the voice of Utena, Air's Misuzu, and Hikaru (no Go).

Sorry for bringing a new discussion. It's kind of important for a new trend.
There seems to be much more than usual seiyuus albums debut this year. Is there a reason to jump this bandwagon? Are they really believe AKB48 and such going to seiyuu business hurt the overall seiyuu market? I was afraid they will ended up being another LiSP. |

Take Mizuki Nana for example, she just had her first concert in Tokyo Dome and practically broke records, I supposed the other record companies wants to achieve the same success too. These record companies seems to forget how difficult it was for the veteran seiyuus to release debut albums back in the days. Nana, Yukarin (Tamura Yukari) and Hocchan (Horie Yui) amongst others spent at least 10 years to pave their way up to music stardom. Nowadays if the seiyuu has a nice face and a decent voice-- bam-- new debut album. I don't really find it fair...

Take Horie Yui for example, she debuted in 1997, and her first anime tie-up single was 1998! That's no more longer than the majority of the new debutes that's been happening, in fact probably a lot shorter. Tamura Yukari - her debuting role was as the heroine for a *Macross* radio drama. Yeah she got her shot at singing with just her debuting role. As for Nana-chan, her debuting role was for a galge (Noel) in 1997 and again on that she was able to release mini-album under the name of the character. The new batch of seiyuus aren't getting any special favours. Both Yuuki Aoi and Hanazawa Kana could be considered veterans since they were child actors, and Hanazawa had debuted as a seiyuu for a very long time (2003). Taketatsu Ayana also debuted back in 2007 and only just got her break due to Oreimo last year so she getting a solo debut single now could be even considered late. To me it seems to be the other way around - the agencies are running out of fresh blood to replace the old veterans as well as new fans who would spend on the seiyuu so they are pushing any popular girls out there in hope that they would lap it up regardless of how well they actually sing. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel, and the sad thing is the otakus - as always - will lap it up, and with how poorly CD sales in general are today, selling ten thousand copies is now considered respectable and a worthwhile investment and these new debutes are providing just that.

Spoiler for Possible Spoilers. Read at your own risk:
As for those whose characters never "won", there are many. Just look for the seiyuu with short lists of voiced characters, and who always get just supporting or minor roles.

Not every female seiyuu has to appear in a harem romance, you know. I can't think of any such conventional roles voiced by one of the best women in the business, Kuwashima Houko. In the only harem I can think of that she appears in, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Kuwashima's character is the center of attention with a bevy of adoring guys.
