It is only appropriate and polite manners to offer my condolences to her family at this time. Eighteen is truly no age at all for it to be all over for someone; with that in mind I extend my condolences to her many band mates {past and present} and fans at this time as wee.

I saw a thread in the catalog but oh well.

I don't really care about idols, but it's always sad when someone that young dies. I wonder what kind of disease can kill someone who should be as healthy as that. RIP

Apparently she died of the dreaded Japanese cold. Poor girl.
