Izumi Sakai, the vocalist of ZARD, died

Izumi Sakai, the vocalist of ZARD died at 3:20pm JST, May 27, 2007. I have a couple of CDs of ZARD and I sometimes sing her song at Karaoke bar. Oh my goodness, she had a cancer, but she plunged her death at the hospital. It was a kind of inexplicable death. Good God!　I believe she is one of the top female song writers and vocalists in Japan.
