Miyuki Kanbe Passes Away

[Chibi Jen]

I found out about this yesterday via Moonkitty.net

Miyuki Kanbe who performed as Sailor Moon in the Third Stage Sailor Moon Musicals has passed away at age 24 on the 20th of June (yesterday). Apparently on the 18th she had a heart failure which resulted in her passing yesterday.

She was made famous by her role as Sailor Moon (she was personally my favourite) in the Sailor Moon Musicals and also starred in (the highly recommended) Kamen Rider Hibiki tv series (which also starred Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon's Jyouji Shibue).

aww.. that's sad =( 24 is really really young too...

I heard about this a few days ago. It's really sad that she died so young.

Yeh, reports said that when she left, her whole family was with her, and she seemed to go peacefully...so that's good to hear.

Miyuki

She was my favourite Myu Moon! She was always so lively and energetic. She had the most beautiful big smile I've ever seen. I can't believe she's died (I have been out of the loop so to speak for a few months now!)

Think I might just go and cry now. I'm so upset!

When she graduated from Myu and passed on the Princess Tiara to Marina, she was so funny (Lalalalala desu!). Her backstage antics were great to watch also.

Oh I'm sad now...
