She sang well for Frozen. RIP
| Quote: | Even according to Hollywood Reporter: "Why 'Frozen' Was Such a Big Box-Office Hit in Japan"
- Japan's love of both animation and Disney is no secret — Tokyo Disney Resort has seen well over 550 million visitors since it opened in 1983, more than four times the population of Japan — so Frozen was expected to do well, though nobody foresaw the social phenomenon it became. Walt Disney Studios Japan scheduled the home entertainment release for July 16, clearly expecting the film to have left cinemas by then.
One factor that helped contribute to the success of Frozen was the local voice and song casting. Anna and Elsa were voiced by Sayaka Kanda and Takako Matsu, two singers and actresses whose performances received almost universal acclaim.

Probably a first time ever there for an English-Japanese duet.  |

I was listening to “Smile for you” from Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale movie the other day. Sayaka Kanda has a beautiful voice. She will be greatly miss.

Police are investigating a possible suicide. We'll probably never know. She was an amazingly talented woman and TRUSTICK was one of the best bands IMO. |
If suicide you likely will not hear anything more about this. If was homicide you will hear about this non-stop for next XX years

Horrible news. Was just listening to some of her music a few days ago from SAO. Go too soon, such a shame. Rest in peace.

Seems like an accident too much like the prologue to Idoly Pride, that just sucks even worse.
RIP
I worry that this new idol trend might be cursed.

If the powers that be ruled it would be a suicide, why might not one open more about it? Is it out of respect of privacy to her friends and family and the already sensitive issue of suicide?

And likely because suicide is all too common in Japan which ranks near the top of the OECD league tables. (For some reason data.oecd.org is not working at the moment so I can't show you the tables.) Suicides among teenagers have been especially controversial and have been increasing even while the overall rate has fallen. Being stuck at home during COVID is thought to play a role in the increase.

This is a little surreal, she was one day older than me.

Given she was already recently noted as being in poor health, it very well might have been neither. She may simply have succumbed to illness. Whatever happened, I hope she has found peace.

That is not possible with how she died, which was falling from her hotel room. She was impromptu replaced when staff tried contacting her for the performance and she did not show up

Her last twitter post was December 8 and she posts several times a week. For her to not use social media for like 10ish days, likely meant she was in poor health. I don't think this was an accident. I heard the way she feel, it is more in line with suicide. Also the method is fairly common for suicide, and Japan is fairly known for suicide. Given her connections to Idoly Pride, SAO, Frozen, and a huge amount of plays, they likely do not want to bring up the circumstances of her death to avoid others following suit.

What possible signs might the investigators find to conclude it was a suicide and what possible signs might those investigators find to conclude it was a non-suicidal incident? While we might not ever know whether it was suicide or a non-suicidal incident, we do know how she died which was a fatal fall.
