Sad news this Xmas Eve ...

Ai Iijima was found dead in her Tokyo apartment at about 3:30 p.m. (JST) today.
Police are currently investigating her death.

Some of you probably know who she was.
Those who don't can see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_Iijima
or this: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=0t49-fQlH ... re=related

I already missed her since her rather sudden and complete retirement
from the entertainment world a couple of years ago,
and I only hope she died peacefully and with friends.


Goodbye, Ai-chan ...

that sucks & sorry to hear of this. i had just discovered
Time Traveler Ai at SDCC last July.
