Does Midorikawa like YAOI?

THAT is the question.
The answer is... who knows? Who cares? I don’t need Midorikawa-san to like it in order to revel in it myself, ne? (::cups hands around mouth and yells:: 2x1 RULES!!!! ::stops and clears throat::)
Mochiron.
Anyway… Hikaru-san’s (oh, don’t mind me, I’m going to be switching from last name to first name to -san to -sama at will… no offense intended, just me being lazy… besides it’s MY journal!) panel at Otakon was great. It was awesome hearing him speak in person… that voice straight out of some of my… oddest… dreams, not to mention my favorite anime. =D His sound effects were cool, and it was definitely sugoi to hear him do some of his chara’s voices. It was so exciting.
One of my favorite parts was when someone asked who his closest friend in the seiyuu world was and he answered that it was Okiayu Ryoutarou! (Of course, I knew it all along. I don’t know how it could be anyone else… they have done countless anime together, they were in E.M.U. together…. what more do you need in the way of evidence?) The other part I died over was when someone asked about Koyasu Takehito. (If you’ve been paying attention ::points finger up to LJ user ID:: you’d realize that I *love* Koyasu.) I forget just what the question was, but his answer was that Koyasu was a very odd person. LOL. That’s me, forever destined to fall for ‘odd’ people. Oh yes, I remember the question now… it was… damn, I forgot it again. Whatever. Oh yes! It was about a quote from a magazine! Koyasu had apparently said something about Midorikawa… damn, I lost it again. Maybe if I remember for real, I’ll post it. Anyway, the answer was about Koyasu being a very odd person, thinking that Midorikawa-san’s voice is "cute" (LOL) and always hanging about him… Hikaru said something about how when they’d finish saying their lines, Koyasu would come up behind him and whisper into his ear about how he loved Hikaru’s "cute little voice." God, I died over that. If Koyasu had made an appearance at Otakon I think I would have DIED. I really don’t know how I would have survived the fact that might heart would probably beat right out of my chest. I dunno… I probably would’ve come back to life just to get a glimpse of him. That bastard. But what I meant to say was that having Hikaru talk about him was doing a pretty good job of killing me all by itself. It somehow made Koyasu more real… he really is a person and not just a figment of the collective over-active imaginations of millions of fangirls across the country! My life has been validated! I can die happy now! Oh, except that I haven’t met him yet. I guess then I’ll be able to die happy. With things like that running through my mind at faster-than-light-speed, it’s a wonder I even got past that first mention of Koyasu from Hikaru’s lips…
But I did; I survived to hear that Koyasu is obviously the perverted YAOI hentai I’d always believed him to be! Another round of My life has been validated! ran through my mind. Even now, whenever I think about it, it tickles me to know that he’s even more of a freak than I had originally suspected/hoped. That bastard. Why can’t he live somewhere a little more accessible? Or at least make a visit to the states where I’d be able to see him… have him sign something of mine… you know, one of the five hundred CDs of his that I have because I’m obsessed, but don’t understand more than 5 words of…?
That bastard.
Whoa. When did this become a Koyasu rant? ::drags self back on-topic::
Well, as I wrote to someone over email, this is what happened with the whole Hikaru signing thing (as in, the autograph session?):
Hikaru-sama’s sig on Heero’s bare ass!

Well, as I wrote to someone over email, this is what happened with the whole Hikaru signing thing (as in, the autograph session?):
It all started a few weeks ago when I was about to bid on a 2x1 doujinshi that was up for auction on ebay. Just before placing my bid I looked at the high-bidder's ID and realized that it was one of my online friends who was high bidder. So I decided not to outbid her... and emailed her to let her know that I couldn't POSSIBLY outbid her knowing that I knew her. Well, Sharon won that particular dj. A week or two later she emailed me back saying that she ended up getting an extra copy of the same dj, so we'd simply HAVE to meet at Otakon so that she could give me the extra copy as a gift. (Isn't that sweet?)
In any case, we met at Otakon, she gifted me with a beautiful 2x1 hentai yaoi doujinshi with Heero in a frilly pink apron/dress with his butt-cheeks sticking out. ^_~ Well, if you were there, you'd know that eventually, the Otakon staff had us down to one item each to be signed by Midorikawa-san. Well, there was someone on line who was just waiting with his friend (fig-chan!), so I asked him if he could get my magazine (Seiyuu Grand Prix) signed by Hikaru and he so kindly agreed, so that was taken care of. What I had left with me to decide between was the hentai dj or a very nice GW/Heero shitajiki (the one with him alone, with the earth in the background).
I really wanted that dj signed, but I was WAAAAY too shy/embarrassed/chicken-shit to ask him to sign it, so my very bold/brave/shameless/Hikaru-worshipping best friend traded items with me. She had my yaoi dj signed and I had her Tamahome cel signed.
So, we finally got up to the table where he was signing and she put the dj down on the table in front of him and he leaned down as if to sign it, then actually SAW what was in front of him, jerked back in reaction, hesitated, giggled a little, said "Sugoi na!" and then leaned down to sign it right on Heero's ass! I was CRACKING UP the whole time! ::snicker:: There was a Japanese woman with him at the table, along with the translator from the panel earlier in the day. I don't know if that was his wife or not, but she was cracking up too. =D
Hikaru-sama’s sig on Heero’s bare ass!
