S.H.E cares for people

S.H.E. made a very thoughtful thing in Taipei this Tuesday.

They made Mooncakes in a charity organization to raise money for Cancer children.

The 3 girls were really proud that they could realize the dream of the young children by making and sharing Mooncakes.

That’s sooo sweet. I care for them. Good job S.H.E.

Fumi Kusayanagi was found dead by hanging herself at her Tokyo Apartment on Tuesday morning. She died at the age of 54 and since there was a note left it was thought as a suicide.

Kusayanagi lived with her mother on the 46th floor of a 54-story building. Early in the morning, Kusayanagi’s mother couldn’t find her daughter and asked a security to help her search. Finally, they found Kusayanagi hanging by her neck from their balcony, dressed in her pajamas. Later on she was taken to the hospital, where it was confirmed that she was dead.
