Waiting for the Official Japanese Announcement
We at Néojaponisme have all been totally shocked by the reports of Japanese art director Noda Nagi’s sudden death last Sunday.
I hope to have a chance to write something about her very prominent role in recent Tokyo creative culture soon. For the moment though, I have been wondering when any announcement will be made to the Japanese public? So far, only English language blogs have reported anything and facts are hard to come by. Is this kind of delay normal in the Japanese media?

Someone had updated the J-Wikipedia entry on Noda in the last 24 hours.

what happened ? isn’t the old spirit of marxy rolling in its grave screaming ‘die pakurist, die’.
it is shocking indeed , the sort of thing you might come to terms with were it a rock’n roll dude,, but a graphic designer !?

You really think I wish the death of people?

no, sure no. i’m talking about an ‘it’. and of course i’m exagerating ; in a rather distasteful direction too.

Don’t want to be too cynical, but this came out the day after her MEG single hit stores.
