(To Doi san: Please forward this post to the Seiyuu ML.
This is part of a longer post I'm writing for my blog.)

Greetings.
Don "Gamera" Chan @ Hong Kong here.

I'm Tsuru Hiromi fan since 1987 (TVA Kimaore, as she wasn't in the
Weekly Shounen Jump OVA Kimaore before the TVA), if not 1985 (OVA
Genmu Senki Leda), and I'm OK.

In the 1990s, she had one Japanese fan page (shrine), called Crane.
ISTR it was run by a female fan in Shizuoka or some-such.

After it discontinued, another male fan and regular at that fan page,
volunteered to inherit and host the contents of that fan page.
The second fan page was called Crane II or Crane Mk.II.

After the second fan page discontinued, I'd nowhere to report and
record Tsuru sama's new roles, so I reported her roles to Doi Hitoshi
san's seiyuu database site (thanks to his collaboration and patience).
I learnt some HTML, but I didn't have a blog, homepage, or site before
2011, when I began a Yahoo! Taiwan blog (now deceased, and emigrated to
Xuite Taiwan in 2013) to show the Senti Junrei photos I took in Japan,
in or before 2011.

Also, over the decade(s), I researched and reported her previous roles
to Doi san's site, which partly explains her roles (even event
appearances reported in my cache of 1980s to 1990s Japanese anime mags)
are very comprehensively recorded, down to exact episode numbers and
first air dates.
Plus, for a while, I researched other Aoni Pro female seiyuu who
co-starred in Tsuru sama's works: Hisakawa sama, Kanamaru sama,
Shimakata sama, Touma sama, &c.

FYI, my current blog has a photo album dedicated to OVA Genmu Senki
Leda where Tsuru sama voiced the heroine Asagiri Yohko dono (17),
and now to Tsuru sama herself:

I'm confident Aoni Pro will recommend appropriate replacements for
her regular roles as Dokin chan in Anpanman, and Bulma in Dragon
Ball Super, as had happened before.

She was Kusanagi Motoko Shousa in the Ghost in the Shell game for
Playstation, but Tanaka Atsuko replaced her in subsequent GITS anime.
Also, she was (duh) Ayukawa Madoka sama in TVA Kimaore, but (grr)
Sakurai Tomo replaced her in the Kimaore Original drama CDs.
(These explain why I didn't follow or watch the GITS anime, nor the
Kimaore Original drama CDs, although I collected practically all TVA
Kimaore CDs, including the drama CDs, when my Japanese was pathetic
back then.)

To be fair, in the Weekly Shounen Jump OVA Kimaore before the TVA,
Madoka sama was Shimadu Saeko sama, not Tsuru sama.

(BTW, when I was doing Senti Junrei in Japan, I usually departed
my hotel room before 7 AM, or my hotel before 7 AM when without
breakfast coupons.
But when TVA Anpanman aired at 6:30 AM, then I'd watch it past
6:45 AM to see if Dokin chan was in the second half of the ep;
and if she was, I watched it until it ended by 7 AM.
(I'm not a Dokin chan fan, and Tsuru sama's chara voice in cute
mode is... IMO usually disastrous, but (sense of duty as her fan)
I went to take a look at the Anpanman facility at Yokohama City,
Kanagawa Prefecture anyway.)
According to news articles, Tsuru sama recorded enough TVA Anpanman
to last until 2018 January.)

Lastly, as her fan, I always admit Tsuru sama can't really sing
fast songs, unlike, say, Nakamori Akina sama who has a similarly
demure (husky) voice. 8D
