Aww, would have wanted to see a live version of "Wings of Goodbye". Or maybe she already did it with May'n, and it's just not on YouTube...

I hope this means she'll focus more on her voice acting career. I want to hear her more in future animes.

Interesting... Didn't she say after Macross Frontier that she would mainly focus on her music career?

Nooo, Mamegu, why? I have been waiting for a new single but I guess this won’t happen any time soon… T-T

If she’s going to focus in her voice acting career at least I hope she will be appearing in more interesting shows not just anime that I would never watch.

I hope so as well, she has nice voice.
I don't care about music, singles, albums and all that, good seiyuu performances in anime are much more important to me so it's possibly very good news for me.

Yeah like much of the thread I also consider this a good thing if she gets more exposure as a Seiyuu now. I mean her music is okay, but it's her VAing I really like.

maybe she is overloaded by voice acting work already that she decided to stop her singing career for a while?

I hope that she receives many major roles :D

One thing that tsubasalover's first post did not make clear is that she would suspend singing as "Nakajima Megumi". The implication is that singing as an anime character is not ruled out. So her music career has not completely ended. Singing as, say, Ranka Lee should be perfectly fine.

But I would agree with most people here that the news came as a shock and the lack of reason (she did not disclose any on her blog either) only fuels speculations.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

^ True, but my main point is that it is still possible for her to sing as Ranka Lee if there is ever more Ranka songs being made.

So I don't know much about her singing, though I know she was Ranka from Macross Frontier. However, I watched Kimi no Iru Machi episode 11 and she was MAGNIFICENT as Eba Yuzuki. That scene at the pond may go down as one of my favorite anime scenes of all time. When Eba was talking to Haruto...it just felt SO REAL. The tone of voice, the pauses in her speech...so good. She gave it so much emotional power. Am I a sucker for dramatic romance? Maybe. I hope she does more shows that give her opportunities like that in the future.
