Seiyuu Awards
微妙。
…………
(laughs ass off) in the end I only got 2 ; or rather, 1 1/2 correct, but hey, half of them awards were dubious. And having joint winners is lame. Ishida?? Miyata?????? Kakihara????????????????? Kano???????????????????????????????? The others are more or less OK I guess. Oh well, if Nana-chan hadn’t won that I’d have eaten my laptop. Yay for Kallen and Mikuru.
Best new male: Morita Masakazu - Ichigo (Bleach) , Kakihara Tetsuya - Mikoto (Princess Princess)
Best new female: Hirano Aya - Haruhi (Haruhi) , Kano Yui - Momoko (Sumomo)
Best personality: Asano Masumi (Anispa)
Best singer: Mizuki Nana (Justice to Believe)
Best male support: Ishida Akira - Athrun (Gundam Seed), Miyata Kouki - Kazumi (Yoshinaga)
Best male: Fukuyama Jun - Lelouch (Code Geass)
Best female support: Koshimizu Ami - Kallen (Code Geass), Goto Yuko - Mikuru (Haruhi)
Best female: Paku Romi - Nana (NANA)
I wouldn’t take this sort of stuff seriously anyway. “Who the hell is Kakihara Tetsuya?” crops up more than once on the Futaba-channel thread I read. Indeed, Kakihara ahead of Mamo, Sugita, Ono Daisuke; or even Irino Miyu - inexplicable. I guess there must be some behind-the-scenes politicking going on…. you scratch my back, I scratch yours? Though I have no idea what the winners get out of these awards anyway. Reminds me of all those Asian music/television awards - the winners are always those who actually bother to turn up for the ceremony.
Morita’s reaction - “I’m a newcomer? Shit, I’m 35-years old this year. I feel sorry for all the other kids (NOT).” More politely, of course.
Hirano’s reaction - “Shit, I’m not a newcomer. Why the hell am I getting this? Anyway, thanks a lot.” More politely, of course.
Happy that Gotu-za sama won.
I’m a little surprised Kyon didn’t win 0_o
Picture from Akiba, click on it for bigger pic. There’s also a short news segment on the ceremony at NHK’s site. Morita’s hair!!!!
Edit: Loved Paku Romi’s appearance on Anispa. She’s über cool. Nana on Comcha was dull, though.

Yeah this award is really….^^; Hirano’s been doing this like junior high right?(Tenshi no Shippo is the earliest I can think of) Obviously this has alot to do with current popularity.
There’s one thing puzzles me quite a bit… So…Paku Romi gets best female award base on her role as male character or female?^^; I do like her female roles(my favorite one is Nayuta from Gakuen Senki Muryou. Very loveable character then again pretty much everyone in it is like that.^^) though but she just doesn’t do that much though.
As for Fukuyama Jun gets best male I guess ok to me since he’s not that bad plus he’s actually been doing this for just a little over ten years now?! Didn’t know that until I heard one of Busou Renkin radio broadcast. Seems he just get expose quite a bit only the last few year around series like Futakoi, To Heart 2, Onmyou Taisenki…etc. Good for him all these years paid off.
Anyway, I can’t really say I care about that award much any award I suppose since I never been a fan of those at all. I guess I’m weird?^^;
