I’m a huge fan and the same age as him. I feel strange about someone as talented as him passing and being almost the same as me.
He’s with the digital diva from now on, hearing her song for eternity.
SO young 🙁 and it’s been a growing problem over there – was it cancer? Those reactors are still a huge problem and wouldn’t surprise me to learn that they are affecting the general populace.
They are. I’d say more, but I don’t want to clog up the comments with people in denial arguing over simple facts.
I may have not enjoyed this man’s work but others did. Plus we lost another young man who made appealing media, meanwhile like always were stuck with politicians/govt officials who spend half their time ruining lives worldwide and refuse to end up like the soldiers they happily send to their last moments.
this really is very sad, and just recently another fairly well known Vocaloid producer died as well
Agreed. It’s a pity that most of the community here is toxic with their comments towards someone that just died. As well as not having any sense of respect for others.
Shame, talented people dying one by one in japan with no one to replace them.
