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.

廊下を横切る影が
あわてて駆け寄る午後も
あまりに普通で退屈だし
扉を開いた後
座るのはいつものトコ
頬杖ついたら思いついた名案!
あたしはずっとあたしだけど
いつのまにか

みんなのパワー期待してたのかな
Let's go my land!
SOSならだいじょーぶ
ドキワク・ハラハラ・サイン
SOSって騒いだら夢が近くなるわ

誰でも楽しさもって
そのままで待ってるのね
やらなきゃ行かなきゃ
なんでも本気なのよ
瞳の中のあたしが笑顔
いいね、みんな
歌いたいな歌いたくなったよ
Happy for you!
I,MY,MEから始まって
ワキアイ・ニコニコ・ムード
I,MY,MEでも我が儘も
明日を呼ぶ準備よ

SOSならだいじょーぶ
ドキワク・ハラハラ・サイン
SOSって騒いだら夢が近くなるわ
SOSほらSOS!
だいじょーぶだからね

面白いことは大歓迎
夢が近くなるわ

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "SOS Nara Daijoubu" by Hirano Aya introduce the vocalist observing the shadows creeping in the hallway. Afternoon boredom drives her to open a nearby door and sit in her favorite place. Her thoughts then culminate in an idea that grants her control of her immediate environment. She reflects on how she has always been herself, though it is possible that she had all along depended on other people's support. She then embarks on a journey with everyone's power, confidently using a "Let's go my land!" exclamation to further illustrate her optimism for what's ahead.
