The general public might not care about the personal lives of the seiyuu, but the seiyuu otaku do! (^_^; Probably almost as much as the idol otaku. Aki and Aya are major enough (in seiyuu terms) that they can't be taken down that much by some anti-otaku. But other minor seiyuu (and idols) aren't strong (popular) enough to survive negative attacks. -- Hitoshi Doi " this space for rent " http://www.usagi.org/doi/ doi@usagi.org
