She was at her friend Nakagawa Shouko's live performance recently, as well as at her friends Granrodeo's Budokan live.
Aya recently appeared live at the opening of the movie Bungaku Shoujo, starring Hanazawa Kana, in which Aya plays Miu.
She continues her roles in Fairy Tail and Jewelpet Tinkle. Neither show is of much interest to me, but I'm glad she continues to have solid gigs, even during this difficult time.
Her enjoyable radio show, Hirano Aya Midnight Radio, is on every week (link to Nicovideo audio; Google "register nicovideo" for registration instructions).
Aya also continues to see Sasaki Nozomi for meals and moral support now and then. I can't help thinking of Nozomi, the sociable former shrine maiden, as a kind of Shinto therapist.
But it was rather sad to read Aya's comments about the Budokan live:
"I went to Grandrodeo's Budokan live! Budokan at last! It was moving. I was jealous of them crashing around on that stage. I was happy that it was a good performance, but I regretted that it wasn't me v(>ｗ<)v"
Granrodeo consists of seiyuu/musician Taniyama Kishou ("Kishow") and musician Iizuka Masaaki ("E-zuka"). Aya is close enough friends with Taniyama that they were once rumored to be an item.
