Like they say, she's the hardest-working woman in Japanese show business.
I mean, yeah, she's still getting parts. But the voice actresses for Misa Hayase and Lum are still getting the occasional job too, even though they were never as big as she was in the '90s.
How many roles has Hayashibara gotten in the past few years, compared to Mamiko Noto or Miyuki Sawashiro or especially Kana Hanazawa? True, her resume's bigger (though it seems Noto's caught up), but she's been in the business a lot longer. Can you truly say she works harder, right now, than HanaKana? She's still in the game, but her most prolific years are well behind her.
