And this is news, how?
there've been less worthy news stories.
annnd since my last comment on this I have seen the episode. Cried all the way through it, and not just because of this ;_;
It is a great, fun song and it's true that it does personify what K-ON is about. Ichi, ni, san, shi, gohan! ;w;

Well I was just wondering if this was worth reporting.
I mean I don't want to belittle her death or anything, but yeah people die, so that's nothing new. Furthermore, seems to me nobody even heard of her before this, she has no MAL entry and only 2-3 people here commented on her work besides "Gohan wa Okazu". And my bet is that if she was alive she'd have remained a nobody and the song would have been credited to Yui.
It's one thing when an author/director of some series passes away but I'm just saying that it shouldn't be news JUST because of K-ON (which is how this looks like to me). Before you know it we'll be reading about a friend of a friend that may or may not have watched K-ON who sprained his ankle.

At least she left quite a legacy.
And this is news, how?
How is it NOT news?

I like to think of it this way, she died, and they chose to pay homage to her by making an episode dedicated to her song and the girls crying while being optimistic.
If this is true, it's beautiful.

What's up with people dying after a recent finish of works?
Like Heath Ledger dying after the Dark Knight. I forgot his name, but he worked on the cutscenes of Metroid Prime 3. He died after the project too. And now this?
Is it because they overworked of the recent projects, or is it that they were sick before, but felt like finishing this last work, and be content when it's done?

At least she lived to see her last works aired in K-ON.

Heart attacks really happen too darn often these days. Just a week back a wrestler at the age of 29 died from heart attack too. Must be the level of stress in the world today.
Have you ever heard of Death Note? Just saying.
Also, R. I. P.

She still worked in the industry, limited publicity notwithstanding. It's not like we are reading about the death of some random otaku.
Yes But I'm wondering if this would have been reported as well if she hadn't been working on K-ON. It certainly wouldn't have as much replies and attention. It seems to me that the fact she did some work for K-ON is more appreciated than her/the actual work.

Very true, I've thought about framing the news article where we're told that Hirano Aya was stressed and went on a shopping spree to relieve said stress.
