Roughly translated... a friend just told me about this, she's a fan of ZARD. I barely knew about this band, but many people had told me about how great was Izumi's voice.

Rest in peace.

There were some reasonable fact/info to show that the incident happening to ZARD - Izumi Sakai was not by suicide or slip. Another possibility might be somebody bumping against her.
