It's been November 18 for more than a few hours in Japan, but screw time zones! I would like to wish Minori Chihara a very happy 29th birthday and to celebrate it in the only way I know how: by making a borderline creepy online post about her with too many images.
You've probably heard of her from her breakout role as Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but she's provided the voices of Chiaki from Minami-ke, Kagura Tsuchimiya from Ga-rei -Zero-, Minami Iwasaki from Lucky Star as well as many others. And she's as cute as a button.
What did I tell you?
She's also a pretty good singer, and enjoys playing her acoustic guitar, which she calls Go-kun. Long time fans of her may remember her playing on the streets of Akihabara, although the last time she did that was a few years ago.
Anyway, as she nears her thirties, she's still looking fantastic, and once again, happy birthday!
Now play me off, Minorin:

She was awesome in concert. Does she have a 2010 calendar at all? I have the 2009 Aya Hirano calendar at the moment, but I need a 2010 one. Minori~n is superior to Aya Hirano.
live comments!
Who made everyone else sound inferior in both the live concert and on CD.
