    damn
    may you rest in peace

    Her son Hikaru shared the news on X today, apologizing for revealing the parent-child relationship in this way.

    not sure what the implication means but they must be in a difficult/weird position if they have the need to apologize

      Not necessarily. Japan is ‘weird’.

      It may be considered proper to be introduced by your parent/elder.

      edit Could also be a mistranslation. Perhaps he ment ‘sorry for finding out about her death this way.’

      It’s a weird translation, the original text is something like, “It is with great regret that I have to inform you of our parent-child relationship in this way.”

    My wife remembers her as Kaine from Nier, since she played in Japanese and it was pretty influential in her childhood. This news hits her especially hard.
