Do recall that it's only been recently that they've been hiring Seiyuu with good looks as well as voice talent. Well, it probably helps that Nakahara Mai has more than decent looks.

Perhaps she pulled a bit from her Lovedol experience. deftoned: For more Mai awesomeness, see the Mahoraba drama CD from a while back where she switched flawlessly back and forth between several roles for the same character. Due to the format, she couldn't show off nearly as much as Satomi Arai did in the anime, but when Kojima Akira first heard Mai's version, he claimed the performance was so perfect for his character that he was nearly moved to tears.

It's probably an effect of older generation otaku growing up and remaining largely otaku and somehow raising the level of general just because there are more of them in society now. It also doesn't hurt when a rash of female celebrities "come out" and declare they're otaku. Maybe it's part of the whole "Densha Otoko" craze. As for seiyuu doing photo books, it's been done before. The only difference with Aya (in anything that she does) is that they're pushing down the idol road because she used to be one. It's a strategy to widen their audience demographic . Whether it'll pay off only time will tell. @Julius:

XD Hooray for Mai Nakahara! That TV Tokyo is doing this may signal a change of mindset in the Japanese entertainment industry. Previously, seiyuus were largely confined to voice acting, but this may no longer be the case, if Aya Hirano's photobook and Mai Nakahara's cameo appearance in this drama are anything to go by.

All of the main characters have dual/bipolar personalities which calls for some excellent displays of range from nearly all of the seiyuu. Definitely worth checking out. @hashihime: Incidentally Yamadera Koichi has successfully made the jump to TV and has been a few dramas to date. I'm really not sure the drama business is all that much better. The competition is greater and after all, seiyuus can do really well for themselves if they are popular. @moyism: That clip is a favourite around here. Could not stop laughing at how awesome it is XD @deftoned: Higurashi is an excellent showcase for profound voice change.
