It looks like Kamiya (Michael Blanc, Tieria Erde, Despair Sensei) and Kugimiya (Alphonse Elric, Nena Trinity) got upgraded from being the Best Supporting Actor/Actress of the 2nd Seiyuu Awards. I am not very well versed in the seiyuu world, and I suppose others might have more insight if this result is more impartial than what was rumored to be a rigged result from the previous awards (I don’t care, one of our songstresses is in this one!).
Too bad Aya Endo didn’t sing as Sheryl Nome, but at least Sheryl has also been represented here

Congrats, Megumi! I would think it’s pretty much a “no contest” thing – unless she was up against Megumi Hayashibara or something (who has had a longer footing in the seiyuu singing business, but Nakajima is better in terms of vocals).

@gaby – perhaps because she didn’t do much singing inside Macross F, and the Macross F singer is actually formidable in this category. Regardless, Maaya is still the better singer

Congatulations to Megumi but I’ve got to support Maaya, probably not for Triangler but for Ame ga furu or Remedy. Linebarrels may be a dodgy show but the end songs are gorgeous.
