About Izumi Sakai
About Wikipedia, I read that some years ago if I remember well (about 2013), but then, there were less info. I have re-read both Zard and Sakai’s wikipedia entries now and I have learned some new things like her first live was the cruise live in 1999 (I watched that concert in youtube some years ago, but I never expected it was her first live since is from 1999 and Zard started in early 90s).
about your post, most info seems to be about she being already dead (memorials, etc), some links expired and the others are in japanese (I am studying japanese but my level is very low yet). I’d love to know more about her travels, life experiences, hobbies (I know she was a gamer since she appeared playing with a playstation in a video), way of thinking, etc.
Again, thanks a lot Rika. Every info about Sakai-san would be wellcome
