Great to hear about new rising young tallent. Awful that it's from Japan. Even more awful that Umaru is her inspiration.

So why is it bad that she is from Japan and that Umaru was her inspiration? I see no issues....

Awesome for her. If she continues down this path, I hope she really succeeds and that we get to hear her in anime somewhere down the line. Though, there is at least a couple of seiyuu her age right now....(Rina Endou, Tsumugi from Amaama is only 10) so should could get in at anytime I guess

Also, wasn't "Lion" from May'n AND Megumi Nakajima? A duet

How I wish similar contest was here in my country. Only a small pool of chosen ones voices in pretty much everything, so you hear the same voices in TV series, movies, documentaries and of course, commercials in them. And this pool got even smaller thanks to this two years long strike-of-a-sort, so many talented VAs vere replaced by those who did not participated in this strike and life went on Sad

May'n did a solo version that's pretty dang awesome.

Also, good for this young lady. I hope she gets to meet her inspiration.

It's good that another child can follow their dream and not have to be in the horrors of the idol industry to get there. I hope she becomes successful someday.

You know, if they ever got a dub really I wanted Jessica Calvello to play the role of Umaru. Now, if there was an english version of this event, I would have chosen the little girl.

Congrats to her.

Now when does she get to start in her first ecchi, incest, harem, romance, school anime(All in one)? At 13 years old? Notable 13 year old at the time was Sumire Morohoshi(played a 12 year old) in OniiAi.
