I just saw this in the news. I didn't realize she was still that young.

Well, also paying respects, didn't expect the creator to be that young.

And I did catch the series stateside where they aired it back in the day (on the channels I used to see it on), so...yeah, this hits a little closer to home.

Why not just end the show instead of continuing due to the passing?

It never happens with programs like this.

This pretty much can be said about the creator of any long-running and well-loved intellectual property. She should lived a few decades longer.

There was extensive coverage of Momoko Sakura's passing, her legacy and breast cancer on NHK News Watch 9 this evening, including tributes from voice actresses.

You can add Robin Leach to that list also. This has been a cruel month.
