"I don't know what to say. I can't listen to Izumi Sakai's voice anymore. ZARD was always on my side since I knew of her in the early 90's when I was still a high school student. I used to always practice singing YOU AND ME by ZARD, it was also the first song I sang in a studio. It is the same as losing a teacher for me to have lost Sakai-san. I am sincerely praying that Sakai-san is being carried up by an angel to heaven."
