[万歳! Wedensday - Seiyuu Corner!]
Name: Chihara Minori (茅原 実里)
D.O.B: 18th Nov 1980
Official Site: http://minorhythm.jugem.jp/
Also known as Minorin by fans, Chihara Minori has her own career in Jpop and is also one of the popular seiyuus who have done some popular roles in various animes. Her history goes as far from 2003 when she started as an assistant for a radio program.
Her first seiyuu as according from her website, started in 2004 when she did the vocals for the character Natsume Aya in Tenjou Tenge and in 2006, her role in Nagato Yuki was mentioned to be a breakout role for her, similar to Hirano Aya who did Suzumiya Haruhi. Her popularity arises pretty much ever since and this was pretty much when I am aware of the anime characters that she had voiced and also the songs she had performed.
In 2007, she performs in Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekisou, a live concert event where SHnY seiyuu gather and sang their own character and theme songs for the anime which further heightens her popularity in her songs and also a seiyuu. As a artiste in jpop, Minori does well in fast paced as well slow moving songs too, something which I like as my fave seiyuu as well.
Her recent achievements involves the voicing of Minami in Lucky Star, Toa in Dragonaut and of course, Minami Chiaki in Minami-ke. (seems like Minami and Minori blends well :P ). Fans around the world is aware of her latest album - CONTACT! which will be released at the end of this month (24/Oct) and her tour Live which will start somewhere in November.
Lastly, Minori FTW! :D

Nice report. Thanks. I’ll add one thing to it: she also plays Nanaka in the current Da Capo II, and had an insert song in episode 3. Busy, busy, busy.
