In 2006, she was cast as the voice of Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮 ハルヒ, Suzumiya Haruhi), the main character of the anime series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The show’s public success would greatly aid her popularity and career in Japan. Her CD single Bouken Desho Desho? containing the opening song of the show sold out in Japan the very day it was released.
Aya Hirano is also noted and credited for her appearance in the popular anime “Lucky Star” also playing the voice part for a main character.
She has a notable ability to change her voice from her usual very high-pitched tone to lower tones to sound more “normal”. For instance, her usual voice sounds closer to that of Mikuru Asahina from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

なんでだろ あなたを選んだ私です
もうとまらない
運命様から決められたけど

冒険でしょでしょ!?
ホントが嘘に変わる世界で
夢があるから強くなるのよ
