I believe she said she will only sing songs written by her under her own name.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS

several dickings

a contract with victor entertainment

But she sings the Asterisk ED, and that was written by Rasmus Faber.

She won't sing character songs because they are credited to the characters and not the seiyuus. She's sung OPs before, but unfortunately all of Monogatari's OPs are character songs. Maybe with the movie they'll break the pattern and she can sing the credit song.

She also sang the OP of Rahxephon and that was written by Yoko Kanno.

There are far more older examples than that. I was replying with the example of a currently-airing show under the assumption that it was a new policy of hers.

>>133550185
So she's just being a retarded bitch. Fuck her, then.

>>133550185
I think it's more of a problem of who's name is credited on the album.

I think it's just a matter of contracts between companies. Horie Yui is a popular singer too and she didn't mind singing 3 Hanekawa openings.

>>133549462
She just refuses to sing Character Songs.

These are written by someone else but performed by "Sakamoto Maaya." If she did a Monogatari OP it would be performed by "Oshino Shinobu" and she would be singing in Shinobu's voice.

>>133550056
I thought she didn't want to sing because she was bad at it, but the Asterisk ED is my favorite this season.

>>133550481
She's sung a ton of OPs and EDs from as far back as the 90s. She has a career as a singer as well as a seiyuu.

>>133550481
I don't think they care if they're not singers anyways, they had Sawashiro and Mizuhashi sing openings too...

>>133548075
I think it may be because her normal/singing voice is much different for her voice as Shinobu. She probably doesn't want to perform using that voice.

I really hope she has a more mature voice when we get to see her as Kisshot.

Ohara Sayaka is being cast as Kisshot
