Two deaths, back-to-back? And each younger than the other as well. Well, hope he died without any regrets and my condolences to his family.

I listened to her character songs a lot, especially the ones she had as Tomoyo.

I looked over her credits, and she had really recent roles too ;_;

I first thought the seiyuu died but read again, the seiyuu was the one to announce someone's death on twitter.
