I wanted to do this sooner. THis entry will be sad. #MatsukiMiyu
It was announced last week that seiyuu Matsuki Miyu passed away from medical complications from her pneumonia on October 27, 2015. She had been forced by her medical condition to take a hiatus from voice acting earlier this year.
She had many roles that were loved by fans, most recently as Anna in Shimoneta.
She turned 38 in September on the 14th. She wrote a very touching blog entry about her 38th birthday party.
In the entry she wrote "私、この病気が治ったら、本気で婚活するんだ…！"
"If my sickness is cured, I am seriously going to get married... !"
Translation of her birthday blog entry:
>Thank you
>I turned 38 today!
>I got a lot of messages and well-wishes, as well as response from my agency.
>Thank you so much!
>The truth is, a birthday even was planned and prepared for this year, too.
>To everyone who looked forward to it in support, I'm sorry.
>Please wait for the day when we can all enjoy one together!
>My 38th birthday was a day I'll never forget.
>My main physician told me repeatedly that it was impossible and thought of all
sorts of ways to make it happen, since there were lots of restrictions on
location, time, number of attendees, and etc. I got a special permission for the go-ahead!
>Here's my 38th birthday party!!
>A couple of my friends became the organizers and met the restriction requirements and got
together the birthday party somewhere in the city.
>There was a lot of decorations at the place!!
>And a lot of friends!!
>I was in the dark about what was going to happen until the day of.
>First, I received presents from everyone.
>A patch with a Maisen logo to show that I'm 38.
>Why Maisen? It's for the snack that I eat the most: Maisen's hirekatsu sandwiches.
>We had time for a rep speech from my friends and chatting, and then, I couldn't believe it--
>...I got to cut into the cake all by myself.
>There was a wedding welcome board on the table and it totally felt like a wedding ceremony.
>What a wonderful solo wedding.
>When I get better, I'll work hard toward getting married...!
>Then I got a lot of message albums and other gifts, and the party came to its climax.
>I never noticed that they'd put up a screen and they played a video as a birthday gift from everyone.
>It was from people here at the party, people who weren't, other voice actors, staff members, and personal friends.
>A lot wore golden kimonos and wigs and sang a parody of "Matsuken Sanba" on stage.
>They sang "Matsuki wa Sanba (38)"
>and broke into dance.
>It was...was...was an amazing video...!!!
>E-E-Even the vocals was a full recording...!!!!
>There were a lot of scenes of various people eating Maisen's hirekatsu sandwiches during it, and of a lot of voice actors, staff members, my family, and even Ponta and Chii who can't eat hirekatsu sandwiches!!!
>I laughed so hard and bawled my eyes out. My mind went completely blank.
>Oh, oh my god, oh my god, I'm really, really...
>I wouldn't have worked so hard if I didn't have everyone here.
>Because they've been supporting me all this time, I was able to get to where I am today.
>I'm filled with nothing but hope now.
>I'll be fine because everyone's with me!
>And thank you so much, as always, to my many friends and staff member who couldn't come today.
>Thank you so, so much to everyone who has always waited for me and supported me.
>Even in this condition now, I can say this with confidence this year.
>I'm glad I was born as who I am.
>Thanks truly.
>The video was amazing, I can say it was almost like a PV for Maisen's hirekatsu sandwiches!
