She also said: Quote:
Forgive me for being blunt, but when you think of her, do you picture her "twenty fucking albums" post-SDFM, or Minmay? I rest my case. Also, she seems to act harshly towards fans, depending on her mood, and that's a big no-no with me, as well. Will Smith backhanding a stupid reporter that tried to kiss him on the lips is one thing; treating your fans badly, no matter what they like you for, is quite another.

But then, I'm a huge Macross nerd. I have met people at her shows how have never seen or heard of Macross (admittedly, I doubt they're in the majority of her fans). Quote:
So yeah...I wish she'd...how to say it...somehow make her peace with Minmay and make it stick. That said, I do find her frustration comprehensible. And some of her "fans" have, over the years, been astonishingly rude to her for NOT being Minmay. Again, it doesn't EXCUSE anything, but I think it helps create a context for the outbursts.

Perhaps a little off-topic - not to mention that it was filmed as a spoof and with full cooperation of the actor in question...
But might I suggest googling "Bridget Jones Interviews Colin Firth" for an idea of what the past 30 years might have felt like to Mari? ----- Personally, I think I can understand both sides. But since I don't know the particulars of what has actually happened, it's not something I can really comment on...

Don't worry. Though Mari came before my time, I followed her music outside of Macross. But even I don't have all the facts behind her troubles. Still, she should be thinking about others. Less this be like Charlie Sheen...

^LMK please read these tropes: Type Casting and I Am Not Spock to get a better idea of what she is going through and why she feels that way.

When I referred to that, I was meaning towards the history behind her outbursts. Since she was before my time, I don't really have information as to whether or not this has happened before. And my reference to Charlie was meaning towards she isn't the first person whose gotten typecasted. So I really think she should think about others less be like her character of Minmei and think only of herself. But thank you anyway.

It wasn't until about 3 days that I finally found out what happened and why she put up that announcement on her official blog:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...tus-from-music http://otanews.livedoor.biz/archives/51969510.html I was like, "WHAT?"

I didn't even know she was a singer. I had always thought she was only a VA. Her songs in MF were OK but nothing to write home about. When the studio decided to bring in Maaya Sakamoto to sing the OP for MF that should tell you right there singing isn't Nakajima's strong point. I don't understand why they didn't simply hire Sakamoto-san to VA Ranka.

I'm surprised, as well. Not that I'm a huge fan or anything, but I do not dislike her, honestly. Well, hope she feels better about it, later.

I wonder if this has something to do with her vocaloid?
Or maybe she just decided that she needed to focus more on her VA career, I mean she's still being typecasted in roles for Loli characters, maybe she's trying to escape that. She's doing okay so far, but its not as if her career blew up like Maaya Sakamoto's did. |
