A while back Aya appeared in a Gravure idol magazine, though luckily was clothed. Finally we have added the gallery of these photos from the photoshoot. You can find these stunning pictures here: Aya Hirano Gravure Gallery.

These are probably the most amazing photos of Aya we have come across yet, though I must say I hope these photoshoots do not become a common occurrence. I like the innocent image of Aya and it will be ruined if she resorts to these types of photoshoots all the time.

There has also been a new poll added to reflect these new images.

Aya’s most popular role is set to have a new series as a new Haruhi Suzumiya series has been confirmed. The announcement was made in another strange viral way that made you enter codes to get to the page with the announcement. The announcement was that the upcoming second season had been “canceled” and instead a new project featuring Haruhi Suzumiya will be done. Kyoto animation will still be animating the series and of course Aya will still be voicing Haruhi. You can read all about it here.

Thought I’d post the first two poll results. In our first poll, “Which of Aya’s roles do you like best?”, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya won by a landslide. Not much love for NANA or other shows outside of Death Note and Lucky Star.

The next poll asked “Which new single is your favorite?” with surprising results. I had been thinking LOVE GUN was the popular favorite among Aya fans out of her new singles, but Neophilia was a strong victor with LOVE GUN and MonStAR close in votes.

This week’s poll was a little more boring so far with most people selecting “both”. I’ll let it run until a week is up (Wednesday) and then add something new.

I also plan to release a new Aya Picture Gallery soon containing all photos that do not fit into one of the current albums. This includes photos of Aya found in a gravure idol magazine. So stay tuned!

Here’s another video of Aya doing an interview on Japanese TV. Its a short clip so if anyone has the rest of it send it our way!
