Ayako and Mamimami

Weird that Ayako's car is left hand drive. Japanese cars are RHD if i remember right (haha), but i did see quite a number of LHD cars on my trip to Osaka some years back. According to our guide, most of those are imported continental cars, which are preferred to the cheaper Japanese makes. Why? Expensive things make better status symbols. I wonder what the artist was implying. =)

Well, Ayako (and Mamimami) supposedly earns ¥6,000,000 a year, which translates into more than $5,000 monthly and that's assuming Japan has exorbitant tax rates. This is peanuts compared to the superstar singers/actors, but poor rierie earns only half of that. FYI, the annual costs for the army to employ a civilian executive with Specialist equivalent rank (read: typist/telephone receptionist) is about the same as rierie's annual earnings.

Therefore, i suggest they sack one of the more irritating chief clerks and hire rierie instead. They can let her man the army hotline; suicide rates among servicemen will drop to nothing. I'm sure even the most zetsubou NS boy will find new meaning in life after a chat with Maria/Lacus/Claudia. Or she can pull out her Suigintou act and scare off all the poor guys calling in to lodge complaints. Either way the army stands to gain.

Rierie can help out in disaster-relief operations too. The next time a space colony falls onto earth,
the army can broadcast videos of her singing Fields of Hope, thereby preventing mass hysteria and rioting. What the fuck, we might as well let her sing the next national day theme song too. Since we're all so enthusiastic about foreign talent nowadays i'm sure nobody will mind if one sings at the next NDP.

Hiring rierie is a freaking bargain really. If you had to choose between a bijin tsundere seiyuu and a cranky auntie who costs the same, who would you hire? The auntie of course! No one understands Japanese in the army (besides Major Irene). The vernacular there is more along the lines of KNN&(*&^$#@. Even the well manicured ladies strutting around on heels slip up at times and mouth the occasional "FO". Ah well.

Btw, if they sacked the Chief of Defence it would free up enough capacity to hire the entire cast of Hayate no Gotoku.

Hahaha! Army hiring Rierie! What... she earns roughly $2500/mth? That's quite low... They don't receive royalties for their song CDs do they?

Pulling off 1 Suigintou act and everyone's gonna flee from NS as fast as their little legs can carry them. Heee hee hee hee!

Rierie for NDP! Ayako can join her too =D

And lastly, Isumi hired as NS nurse! Hurray!

I dunno about royalties, but Rie hasn't been doing much singing lately besides those character CDs. Seiyuu singers with more mainstream appeal (like Mizuki Nana) seem to earn quite a bit more.

You can't flee NS. Unless you jump bail.

They'll have to get rid of a 3 bar to employ Ayako. Maybe you can forego your allowance so we can have both Ayako and Rierie for NDP?

Pervert.

Mizuki Nana is the one voicing Kotoko in ItaKiss isn't she?

Suigintou can most certainly instill enough drive for poor SG males to jump bail. But I could use more Suigintou and Suiseiseki.

Well, I'd rather use my allowance to employ them MYSELF. Though I have no idea what to do with them anyway. So nah.

And Nagi as MO, Hayate as medic, and Hamster as cook. Yay!

Ya, and Mizuki Nana plays Allison too this season.

What do you mean you have no idea what to do with them? Didn't you learn anything in Physiology 101? *struck dead by missiles from Ayako and Rie fans*
