Does this have something to do with her singing career?

She's the one that dropped voice acting to try to do mainstream work. I thought she didn't care about VA anymore? Does she want to come back or something?

Oh Aya, you're so crazy.

Who knows whether this was her decision or management's... whatever Aya does stirs up a huge pot of controversy for no reason >.>

That's the life of an idol.

She's like a doll. And if even a single lace is misplaced, a shitstorm passes by. Then again, even in the idol world filled with jackasses and lifeless perverted radicals, she's something of a rebel that just tends to do whatever she wants. You have to at least give her props for that.

I think she mentioned she didn't want to do VA work while I believe she was going to appear on stage in a production of "Wuthering Heights" I could be wrong.

I can't imagine her manager's being like, "Hey, the last thing we want for you to do is get easy money and let us shave a portion of it off the top. We need to bring that to a stop immediately."

Wasn't there something of a kerfluffle not too long ago amongst her Japanese fans when it was revealed she was dating somebody? (Naturally, if she's dating somebody that cancels out the .00000001% chance she'll stumble onto a fan in the street and it shall be Twu Luv instantly.)

I remember reading it being thought she was backing off VA works and doing more live-action stuff while people's memories faded a little or she simply came to the conclusion that them otakus be crazy.

I have some of her CDs, a couple of photobooks and a couple of idol DVDs. I stopped getting them when I realised I was only really interested in her voice, not her looks, and tended to skip most of her non-anime music when it came up on my player. I wish she would return to being a regular seiyuu, although there are plenty of new talented voices around and the last new role of hers I cared about was Chiko in 2008. I wonder if she will be returning for Kizumonogatari given that her character didn't actually speak in Bakemonogatari anyway?

I remember hearing something about that too. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that is what keeping her from doing VA work. Those radical Japanese Otaku really need to remove that stick out of their asses.

...I'd wager most, if not all we see her do she was simply told to by her management.

I doubt she has much freedom at all (not counting her private life), else she wouldn't be acting disappointed/unhappy on twitter about being "banned" from playing new anime roles.

Sankaku complex delight in posting every rumour about her career and personal life.

Wow, she is so full of it. All she is doing is trying to get more attention and rebel without a cause. SHE is the one who decided to pursue other ventures while insulting her anime fans in the process. Knowing the consequences, SHE is the one who chose this path. I am so sick and tired of her antics.
