Earlier this year, voice actress Aya Hirano, known for playing Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail, surprised her fans after announcing her sudden marriage to actor Masashi Taniguchi. The seiyuu appeared on “Odori! Sanma Goten! 3 Hours Special” of Nippon Television, where she revealed that she had been dating her husband for 0 days, at the beginning of the program Hirano smiled and said, “It’s only been 4 months and I’m so excited.”
Lucy Heartfilia’s voice actress on Fairy Tail reveals she has been dating her husband for 0 days
On the show actress Yua Shinkawa who co-stars with the same voice actress in Fairy Tail, Aya Hirano asked her, “You’ve been dating for 0 days, right?” to which Hirano replied with a smile, “That’s right,” then continued, “We didn’t want to start dating or anything like that, but we started by asking each other to get married right away. But that’s what I thought too” and added “We both think it’s okay to be together.”
Apparently, the Fairy Tail seiyuu and her now husband Masashi Taniguchi worked on a project together, but Hirano thinks that while one is working everything stays professional, she made it seem so when she commented the following, “While I’m on stage, I try not to have that kind of relationship and I try to keep it that way”, it was then that she thought she would ask Taniguchi out once the project was over, but Taniguchi had other plans because once they finished their work he asked her to get married.
“So, after about 3 months, I am married”, said with a smile Aya Hirano. We don’t know what’s in store for this couple, for the moment and from the seiyuu’s words we can assure that they are very happy. Returning to the incredible news of how their marriage came about, we can say that it was something that surprised many fans not only in Japan, but all over the world.
One of the things that is quite curious is that many fans did not know that Aya Hirano was married and so they did so in different forums where the most repeated comment was “Is she married?”, on the other hand, some people commented that this type of marriages do not last long “This is only physical” or “I have already seen something similar and it ends in divorce” is what they commented.
Also some people commented that nowadays it is not so strange that two people decide to get married without dating before, like the Fairy Tail seiyuu did. Even one netizen said that it is not necessary to date a person many times because when you have a connection with someone you feel it from the moment you meet that person, so why wait to date so many times?
There is no doubt that the story of Lucy’s voice in Fairy Tail and how she got married is quite special and very curious, we could also say it is quite funny, time will tell how things go between these two artists. On the other hand, if you did not know this voice actress, let me tell you that Hirano is a Japanese actress and singer who rose to fame after having played great characters that made her quite well known.
Among her most notable works we can mention: Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail, Konata Izumi in Lucky Star, the already iconic Misa Amane in DEATH NOTE, Migi from Parasyte or Lilith in One Piece, among many others, also Aya Hirano has dabbled a lot in the world of music, although she announced her retirement in 2012 you can still listen to her songs on YouTube, like her latest album Fragments. What did you think of this news? Do you agree that two people can get married without the need to have dated?
