  1. Singer-songwriter Sayuri passed away on 20 September, aged 28, and her death was announced on her official X page on 27 September

    Sayuri’s husband, Mr Amaarasi, said: ‘I would like to respectfully inform everyone who has always supported Sayuri.Sayuri passed away on 20 September. She was 28 years old. The funeral was held only for her relatives and related persons in accordance with the wishes of her bereaved family”. The funeral service was held at the bereaved family’s request, with the relatives and related parties attending.

    In addition, as Sayuri was active as a freelancer before her death, fan letters and other correspondence have been sent to the office of the live production company. We would like to ask for your kind understanding that we would like to respectfully decline any condolence messages and other such offers of support.

    Sayuri made her major label debut on 26 August 2015 with the ED ‘Mikazuki’ for Fuji TV’s ‘Noitamina’ anime Rampo Kitan Game of Laplace.The rough-hewn beauty of the song was intensely linked to the world of the work, and it received tremendous support and became a hit from its debut.

    On 24 February 2016, they released their second single ‘It’s like a small light’ for the ED of the Fuji TV ‘Noitamina’ anime ‘Boku wa dake ga inai machi’, and their first full album ‘Mikazuki no voyage’ was released on 17 May 2017. She is a new generation artist who boasts popularity mainly among men and women in their teens and twenties.In July this year, she was diagnosed with functional dysphonia and announced on her official X that she would suspend her singing activities for a while for treatment.

  2. I never actively followed her musical career but I was able to recognise her performances in anime related works from the moment she started singing, her voice was instantly recognisable and I’m truly sad to find out I won’t be able to do that or enjoy anymore performances from her. I hope she rests well knowing she made a mark on the world no matter how short it may have been.
