I believe so as long they fit well with the characters same with KugiRie.

One of the several little-known old-timers who just went out. Condolences.

Thanks for that, can't wait to take a listen to these songs. She won me over with her songs from K-ON.

Might as well share this event here:

Komatsu Mikako First Album THEE Futures Live Event [niconico].
Time: Now :P

Edit:
That was short. Only 5 songs? Another event tonight [nico2]. Time 2030 Japan Time.

Honestly, I was expecting Yousei Sakusen announcement or something, considering the event was held at Shinjuku Station, where Sakaki met Nobu. Oh well, Happy (early) Birthday to Sasamoto-sensei.

Edit: That was fun

Is there a schedule (a convention) for the Puella Magi Madoka Magica voice actresses?

Emiri Katō as Kyubey
Kaori Mizuhashi as Mami Tomoe
Ai Nonaka as Kyōko Sakura
Eri Kitamura as Sayaka Miki

Sad news: Chieko Honda has passed away. Gundam fans will know her as the voice actress for Ennil El in Gundam X and Elpeo Plu/Plu Two in ZZ Gundam, and Shoujo fans will remember her in a lot of roles. The one I'll remember is Meroko from Full Moon o Sagashite.

^ I read that earlier today. It broke my heart. She was only 50

Favourite Seiyuu....

Ohara Sayaka. I'd have her babies if it were possible. Not even joking. After her comes Paku Romi. Followed by Inoue Kikuko, Nana Mizuki, Itou Shizuka and Itou Miki. Oh, Nabatame Hitomi too of course!

If having a seiyuu harem was possible, that would be mine.

[Chiibi]

Meroko.....poor Meroko...! I'm still in shock...and so is Tanemura Arina.

myco, Mitsuki's seiyuu writes: "We were supposed to go on a trip together...no way no way no way! This can't happen!"

[Karasuba~Maya]

Chieko Honda

RIP.

Today (for those in the Far East), Feb. 25 is Kana Hanazawa's birthday.

otanjoubi omedetou!

[GDiddy]

How old is she anyway? I know a lot of them are in their 20s...

[Frailty]

I checked her profile, she was born on the year 1989
so she turned 24 today

happy birthday Kana-chan~

EDIT:
coincidentally, her birth year is a Snake which is what this year is as well
she must be so lucky this year

[Kanon]

Happy birthday! May she get a lot of roles this year as well.

[sikvod00]

I learned a while back that I share a birthday with another fav seiyuu of mine, Minako Kotobuki: September 17th.
Unfortunately I haven't seen (heard) much from her in any of the shows I'm currently watching. It's even worse for Houko Kuwashima, whom I've only recently seen in Zetsuen no Tempest, with a minor role as young Yoshino (really, a boy?). Ever since CLANNAD I've wanted more of that voice.

Rumi Ookubo (Tsumiki in Acchi Kocchi, Chinatsu in Yuru Yuri)

Best Vocal:
Ushiro Kara Haiyoritai G (Kana Asumi, Miyu Matsuki, Yuka Ootsubo)

Best Personality:
Mitsuo Iwata (Itsuki in Initial D, Marchosias in Shakugan no Shana. No Idea what radio/tv program he won this award for.)

Haruka Tomatsu (Ichika in Ano Natsu, Shizuku in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun)

Most Voted:
Hiroshi Kamiya (Natsume in Natsume Yuujinchou, Penguin in Shirokuma Cafe)

Best Actor:
Yuki Kaji (Shu in Guilty Crown, Amata in Aquarion EVOL)
Incoming shitstorm...

Best Actress:
Kana Asumi (Naruko in Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, Yuno in Hidamari Sketch)

Unsurprisingly, no one I voted for won their respective awards. Kaji... I saw that coming, but I actually didn't want him to win despite being a huge fan of him, not with the characters he's associated with in 2012. >_>;

No Ohsaka for best new actor makes me sad. =( Next time!! For sure!! lol @ Kazutomi Yamamoto for best new actor. Nothing on his (really small) resume stands out at all to me. His only leading role was Kio in Gundam AGE. Was he just that good at it?

The rest of the misc. awards over here at ANN's article.

Anyway, congratulations to all the winners!

[Kirarakim]

Well I am always happy to see Kamiyan get another award.

I've grown to tolerate Yuki Kaiji more now that he has gotten roles other than the whiny male teen (I really enjoy his performance as Satoru in SSY especially) but Shu was definitely not his best role at all. That's the type of voice I hate of his.

And I agree Ohsaka deserved that New Actor award.

As for best new actress how about Megumi Han? I would have also said Asami Seto but I am not sure if she is considered new.

[Mura]

As a Kaji Yuki fan I am pleased with that though I may be in the minority....

I am also glad to see Asumi Kana win best actress.

[mistress_kisara]

I'm happy with the results especially for Kaji Yuki and Haruka Tomatsu! Good job guys!
