R.I.P Miyu. You will live on in RPGs.
:-(

[DarkOcelet]

She died so young :(

Rest In Peace Miyu.

[UserNameIsNotTaken]

No.. 3:
I loved her in Shimoneta as Anna, dat Cookie love will always make me smile and laugh :3

[Skate-AK]

Ah very sad.

[Genuine-User]

Rest in peace

[Activemessiah]

pneumonia? bloody hell... I had no idea it kills.. R.I.P

[pasta_spice]

Yeah it can kill...although it is usually only considered life-threatening to the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. It's rare for someone so young and presumably healthy to die from it.

R.I.P Miyu.

[Mikefizzled]

Slightly off topic, Do you think Japan has a weaker immune system on a whole? Since it's not uncommon to see people wearing breathing masks.

[3-4-5]

Mike you may have Japan confused with China.

[MazzingerZ]

Many are unaware they have weak heart...that's mostly the reason behind it...if you get a disease that really stresses the body and you happen to have a weak heart then it's really dangerous and we are not only talking about diseases...it's enough that you lately have been working really hard or being nonchalant when it comes to sleeping enough, eating well, in other words, taking care of yourself...hell! a really bad hang over combined with one of those diseases can kill many.

She probably had bad luck and caught her with no defenses. Too young.

[Mikefizzled]

Just checked because I knew I wasn't mistaking Japan for China. http://www.japantoday.com/c...

@Mikefizzled

Actually wearing a mask is considered common courtesy when you have a cold or cough in countries like Japan so as not to pass the germs onto others.

In most first world countries and Japan is one of them the majority of children are immunized against the most common diseases, however some for a variety of reasons op out and even though those non immunized people are more susceptible to disease they usually don't encounter the disease since most people are immunized.

Of course there are exceptions and even an immunized person can still fall sick to a particular disease although the probability is much smaller.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Pneumonia kills many many people per year. Look up a list of notable people who have died from it and you will probably be a bit surprised.

[inStereo]

I believe Jim Henson died from some form of pneumonia, as well.

[Mikefizzled]

Regarding the beloved Mr Henson, "The official cause of death was first reported as Streptococcus pneumoniae, a bacterial infection that causes bacterial pneumonia. It was later classified as organ failure resulting from streptococcal toxic shock syndrome."

Not the same but sad nonetheless.

[Narutone66]

It starts out like a common cold, but the person infected are not getting better and are getting weaker and weaker. My daughter got it earlier this year, we rushed her to a hospital and she was confined for almost a week.

[rainslacker]

I lot of people just think it's a really bad cold(similar symptoms early on before the lungs fill with liquid), and many people don't seek treatment for a cold. Typically it gets pretty bad before seeking treatment, and it's not always possible to treat after a certain point.

Mike also pointed out it can be toxic to the organs at times, which can also cause death if not caught soon enough.

[MeliMel]

Usually when it kills someone young. Its due to underlying health issues. Something else that the pneumonia made worse. R.I.P. Im 36 so when young people die it. Puts mine into propective.

God Bless her and her family.

[UnHoly_One]

Yeah no kidding. I'm the same age as her. :(

[JohnathanACE]

A good friend of my dad caught a rare form of pneumonia and passed away so yes, it can be very deadly depending on the type of pneumonia.

Also R.I.P Miyu Matsuki. You died way too young.

[knifefight]

Way too young.

[nitus10]

Unfortunately there are many people who die even younger from many different causes.

From my perspective she died way too young and my sympathy goes out to her family and friends.

[TwoForce]

Rest in peace. 😔

Our Physical Experience Ends Here ...But a Beautiful New Limitless Life Begins Elsewhere.

Gone Too Soon /

[slappy508]

RIP, you are now with the seraphim (Tales of Zestiria reference)

[nix]

Rest in Peace.

[MasterCornholio]

:(

[donwel]

She did the voice of Anna in Shimoneta and Cthuko in Nayruko. Such sad news and so young as well :(

[DafunkyRebel]

NOOOOOO not Anna, she was my bae

[Gazondaily]

Rest in peace. So young as well :(

[jokerisalive]

Such a beautiful girl. Life hits us hard sometimes and it just doesn't make sense. Rest in peace Miyu.

[TwoForce]

I agree. The reality do hit us hard, very hard.

[Chaosdreams]

Rest in peace.

[Vandamme21]

Rip

[DittoHefner]

That's sad. R.I.P.

Man, death needs to be cured somehow, it's basically just a disease.

We were all born in the wrong time...

[SilverClock]

Omg I'm still playing Tales of Zestiria...damn.

[Aceman18]

Yea same here this I sad to hear.

[MrSwankSinatra]

I'm not familiar with her work, but rest in peace and my condolences go to her family.

[StormLegend]

R.I.P

[ISHU]

R.I.P

[Jide]

rest in peace

[benji101]

I live in Japan and we have had a really bad chest virus here for a year. I caught it and was hospitalized. It seems like a normal cough with mucus, but it can easily get into the lungs and become much worse. This and the very dry air is a bad combination.

[ColonelHugh]

Even Saiyans aren't immune to heart viruses.

I've been long awaiting more Nyaruko-san, but now it wouldn't be the same without Cthugha.

[Eejanaika]

rest in peace : (

[Edito]

People love to disagree here... RIP.

[SegaGamer]

Yeah, what the hell is wrong with some people ? Disagreeing with people that are saying RIP is just pathetic.

[FlyingFoxy]

Yes, trolls have to ruin everything unfortunately. They must lead a sad life to have fun making people feel miserable.

[TWB]

My guess:

1) Trolls or such
2) Some people think that you caring much more about a famous person and his/her death than tons of people who die in third world countries is bad.

Which I disagree. Even if you learn to know the person as a fan you still know and care about that person even though it will never be completely mutual on a personal level.

Some people just are dcks.

[yewles1]

I just finished Shimoneta... T_T RIP

[hiredhelp]

R.I.P
Furious at the low lifes that disagree on ppl showing there respect.

[Chinkyinc18]

She had one of those unique voices that really stood out in the world of seiyuu. You could recognize it the moment you heard it, and I loved it especially in the more loose, comedy driven animes. It's gonna be weird never hearing it again in future animes. She shall be missed.

[jznrpg]

Sad to hear , condolences to her family. I just picked up Zestiria and read this. Too young to leave this existence.

[Dee_Blessed]

God rest her soul

[Germany7]

Rest in Peace.

[SynestheticRoar]

I know her work, never saw a picture of her. She be missed. Rest in peace. God bless her family and help them with their lost.

[DivineAssault]

So young too.
