It’s that time of the year – 3rd Seiyuu Award
The award ceremony is suppose to be this Saturday, but naturally all the magazines already knew who the winners are so they can do their interviews to make it in time for publications. So while surfing image boards a small picture of the upcoming Voice Newtype came up and shows us that their winner cover special has these people:
So that almost certainly means Kamiya Hiroshi and Kugimiya Rie won best actor/actress respectively. I would think that Kamiya Hiroshi got it for Zetsubou Sensei, but on the other hand I have no idea what the Kugyu would have gotten it for.
The smaller words below also shows names such as Sugita Tomokazu (looks like his picture in the second from left too), Tomatsu Haruka, Nakajima Megumi and Fukuyama Jun. Third picture from the left looks like Endo Aya to me (the kanji just above the picture seems to read as her name too). I think I can make out Sawashiro Miyuki above Sugita’s photo as well.
Speculations and flames on what roles they’ve won it for welcome. ;)

Did the awards just get cleaner or did more agencies/companies get in on the corporate incest thing this year ^^;
Makes me laugh that Kugimiya won, I can’t imagine what for – Shana, Louise or Taiga? Endo Aya for supporting is weird too, she’s clearly the lead for Macross F so it’s like Kugyu’s support award last year all over again.

At least Kugyuu got what was rightfully her’s from last year. ANN’s got a full list of who won what. But no mention of the overseas polling thing.

I’m thinking it’s just because there were no major Kadokawa releases last year. lol
I think Kugyu won it for Louise, ToraDora came out no long before the cut off date of voting so it makes no logical sense for her to win it for that.
As for Endo Aya/Sheryl, I called that one! At least it can be argued that Sheryl/Ranka were double leads in the show so neither were above the other, Nagi of Hayate no Gotoku was just a big facepalm.

Houko: Five of the winners are involved in Frontier. Jun Fukuyama’s a long shot but there’s a connection.

* Hiroshi Kamiya
* Tomokazu Sugita
* Aya Endou
* Megumi Nakajima
* Jun Fukuyama
Jun Fukuyama’s a long shot but it’s still a connection.
