SOS-Dan at Anime Expo

Not much to report yet, except what attendees have been kind enough to mention in comments on my last couple of posts. The only things I've found are a quote on 2channel (from an English-language source I can't find) and one blog post from a Japanese attendee.

Aaya, Gotuuza-sama and Minorin (Hirano Aaya, Gotou Yuuko, and Chihara Minori) were asked where they saw themselves in ten years: "Hirano hopes to still be doing the work she loves, TV/seiyuu work and singing. Chihara feels the same, and adds that she might like to be a good wife by then. Goto says in English: 'I wanna be married.' (She also wants to keep working, but notes that she's a bit older than these two - hence the desire to be married.)"

Aaya was asked if she has a boyfriend, and she apparently said she didn't normally talk about her personal life. But then she added "no," with a smile.

Neither Minorin nor Aaya had much English, but Gotuuza-sama seemed pretty fluent. She went to college to become a translator before dropping out to go into the entertainment industry.

By the way, I did find a shot of a page from the Sabra magazine feature:



EDIT: Found a couple more mentions:
The Great Elk was amazed that the three women's voices actually did sound like that, and thought they were very, very cute. Worry vs. Donuts had a quote of the day: "Will you be my friend?" an attendee asked Aaya, after he was repeatedly told to sit down. Now I know what the comment about the questions being so bad meant, lol.

On her blog this morning, Aaya has a picture of a big bowl of clam chowder, commenting how enormous the serving is, that one bowl of soup would fill her. Welcome to America, Hirano-san.

The Japanese blog, now that I read it in detail, says that there is (was) an SOS-Dan autograph session at ten this morning, and there will be an SOS-Dan live performance tonight. The autograph session did not appear on the schedule of events posted on the web. The "SOS Brigade Invasion Tour" will be at 4:30.
