Why Did I Think Sayaka Ohara Retired?
Because Sayaka Ohara didn’t. She did announce that she is getting married/is married, late last year.
The equally-fab-but-less-historied, yet-also-35-year-old Erino Hazuki plays Yamamoto-sensei in Hanamaru Youchien. As you may notice, Hazuki is not a frequently-heard voice in the sort of anime we watch. Her voice is somewhat distinctive, and it is not hard to pick her out if she has any notable roles. I mention this because it makes the handful of main/secondary character roles she plays notable.
The thing is, in Hanamaru Youchien, Hazuki plays an ara-ara onee-san/okaa-san type, Hanako Yamamoto. Yamamoto-sensei is also the type of character you typically find Sayaka Ohara doing.
So if you’ve watched Aria, you might recall the ending of season 3. Now read j1m0ne’s splendid spoiler.
I am sure what I am pointing out is a coincidence. But it makes the mind wonder, doesn’t it?!
We need more of Sayaka Ohara’s Beato just to throw us off further. Why lie. :3
Sayaka Ohara does one of the voices in Tartaros Online!
I’m always a bit surprised when I am reminded that the same person voices Xxxholic’s Yuuko and Aria’s Alicia.
I think since her Layla days I knew she could do something like that. It’s just a matter of her landing those roles.
Looks like Sayaka Ohara and Erino Hazuki shares the master-student relationship of Alicia and Akari.
I wonder if that applies to Kikuko Inoue and Sayaka Ohara by a Virgilia-Beato relationship? as both V.A.s are common to onee-san charaters
Ohara Sayaka is best in leather (Moyashimon).
