In my edit, I removed her blog quotes x 2, already purged and gone from Ja version when I consulted it. Probably too 1st pers. I sympathize though with some previous contributors feeling the need to address her sudden hiatus (losing signature roles like Prince Mackaroo and Jubei-chan), in some tactful manner. But given absence of any details, the best solution IMO was to just pass it over in silence. In case someone has interest/issues/suspicions the chopped sections were of following contents:--Kiyoweap (talk) 05:29, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

こうした活動と時期を同じくして、全てのTVアニメのレギュラーから降板しているが、この件に関して小西本人は、後に公式ブログで「降板や交替も本人及び事務所の意向でない」と表明している Around the same time she began engaging in these ["moonlighting" (TV appearances and professional singing)] activities, she dropped out of all regular roles on anime shows on TV. Regarding this matter, Konishi herself stated in her official blog that "dropping out [of these roles] and being replaced was not according to my own inclinations, or my agency's."

Konishi launched an official blog Risu to kurasu mori no naka no ofisu (「リスと暮らす森の中のオフィス」) "Office in the woods cohabitating with the squirrels" in March, 2013, expressing great eagerness to revive her activities as a "talent" personality in the entertainment business. In September, she posted the following announcement through a surrogate: "She received a report that the number of offers for her to work plummeted due to various false and unfounded postings over the internet, etc., as well as other acts that impugned her social credibility. Konishi does not habitually read or use BBS's on the internet, and this report seriously disrupted her normal business activities including her subsequent life routines; so activities of every kind is made difficult by the current state of affairs." But by December 2013, she released a new song "SAYONARA ARIGATO - Magician who Returned to the Forest-" under her own label, which on December 14 became Amazon's the number one new release rock music single, getting high ranking in its J-POP chart as well.

Article cleanup

[edit]

I did a major cleanup. Emptied out her biography since none of it is sourced, and then added sourced entries for the filmography. She does have a lot of voice acting roles back in the 1990s that are notable, but not sure how much of her singing career is notable as it would require someone digging through the old Oricon charts. Only her four most recent singles are on iTunes and no clue how notable those are. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 01:55, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
