Hopefully sooner, but I won’t keep my hopes up with her crazy schedule. But it’s possible.

Just look at how the announcers reaction to the crowd for a rough idea. As for the future, she'll go down eventually, just like the ones before her, it's inevitable. While all these achievements she's done is good for bragging rights like "Hey I told you she's got it to make it big" type of talk, in the end it really doesn't matter to me on a personal level. What matters is only when what she does no longer entertains me. Though I don't see that happening anytime soon.

In other words, while I\'m sure we\'re all very happy about how things are now, will this be the case next year? Next 5 years? What\'s next for a girl who\'s made big in an industry where you either go up or you go down? > Simply put, I just love the infectous raw energy and directness she has. That\'s what reminds me of Ichiro Mizuki :) Call me cynical but having a sold out show and keeping everyone standing the whole time is the bare minimum of a good live musician.

Farther and further? It's certainly possible as she is building up more and more mass appeal. As a seiyuu idol personality she's already out-classed the big names of yesterday, I really don't think she has anything more to prove and from now on what she does is just going to be trying to set more new records and precedents for the next big idol seiyuu to topple. While I'm happy that she gets recongnition which she surely deserves, it has nothing to do with how appealing she is to me personally. Simply put, I just love the infectous raw energy and directness she has. For the last 3 years I've been going to her concerts 3 times a year and I still never get bored nor tired of going. Everytime I go to her concerts I can just forget about everything and let myself be drowned in the atmosphere (not unlike some of the fans in the video, but not the crazy one pumping his hands in the air like mad :P). In the end that's about the only thing which I want from an entertainer, someone who can have my absolute attention and deeply move my feelings. All the other qualities - her cuteness, her singing etc - are really just more easily understandable reasons to explain her appeal to others who don't know her that well. Put it this way, someone who can bring 8000+ (this was Budoukan) people on their feet and keep them on their feet for 3 hours all the while jumping and cheering *has* to be special. > Seiyuu3, what do you say?
