Aya Hirano – Stairway to 20 Review
Hirano Aya’s first photobook – Stairway to 20 has been selling very well since its official release on the 27th July. It seems to be doing very well in the charts too.

Initially, there were some mixed responses amongst the otaku community. Some felt that it contradicted her image and people were even saying in 2ch that “Hirano Aya-san has turned into a gravure idol”. But after looking through the photobook I must say that its a very nicely done one that will really help to boost her idol image.
I have posted some images from the 96-page photo book to show you why the book is selling well on the charts.

Even though theres no photo that has Aya Hirano in any state of undress, she still look sexy and cute.
My favorite is the photo of her during the Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekisou concert.

Overall the photos are really nicely taken. I would definitely recommend it to any Aya Hinano fanboy or just any plain idol fan.

Finally, here’s a final message that is found in the photo book to her fans.

So go get your copy now! =P


I’m waiting for my copy to be delivered. But I think it’ll take awhile for it to restock. haha. Didn’t really think I would want it, until the first few reviews started coming out
=x theres no need for girls like aya to undress to look good.
i ordered mine a week ago too from yesasia. the book is out of print rite now, and yesasia hasnt found me a copy, will their be a reissue?
will kino be bringing it in?
I think its so hot that they will definitely reprint it, but it will take some time to be delivered.
@pp: but any state of undress is always nicer ^_^
@ tiny Red Man: thats a good question, my guess is that even if they bring in, it will be sold out in an instant
