This is getting strange. What's with the sudden uptick in voice actresses retiring?

I wish her the best. I loved her songs in Kore wa Zombie Desu ka.

Good luck to her, but she wasn't in that many things anyway.

You're probably right but FWIW ANN's database isn't 100% complete even though many fans naturally assume it is so there could be some roles not on her page atm. And for all we know she may have done Japanese dubs for Hollywood movies/TV Shows or even some hentai/eroge work under a different name. Average seiyuu is usually involved with a bunch of JRPG or mobile games too but it's not always widely known unless the game gets localized or some fan posts the credits for someone else to translate & ID. |

Not just voice actresses. There have been other Japanese "geinoujin" that are suddenly deciding to retire like Hiroki Narumiya. |

Honestly it looks like she retired years ago.

Welp I misread as "Rie Kugimiya retired from voice acting", glad I was wrong.
On the topic, I don't remember her much from KoreZom but it's too bad that she has to retired quickly, still so young too. Good luck to her career in the future. |

Nope. Her last anime role was in this year, a minor role in Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama, but before that her last appearance was in 2014, in one episode of CARDFIGHT!! Vanguard G, where she played Boy 1. In videogames it was about 1 role per year (no roles in 2015, though). Her dub roles are all pretty old. |

For what it's worth, this is her Japanese wikipedia page: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/山口理恵 Usually a bit more complete. Anyway, I wonder why she is quitting. I hope it's for good reasons and not something unfortunate in her life, or on her part. I wish her the best of luck though! |

She probably can't make a living from either voice acting or singing, and wants to change careers. Good for her. |

Maybe. Considering how much they get paid, it wouldn't take too much work for her to be independent though. There is also the option of working a part time side job along with seiyu work. Seems strange to very publicly state that she's getting out of it entirely for that reason. |
