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.
