it happened last winter, i think before christmas.
i have some friends who were close friends of hers, its a fucked up thing. to go on tour and not come back.
i went to a farewell party for china with my friend who was friends with her. she wanted someone to go with. i felt awful. it was full of people who were friends of hers, famous underground japanese musicians and just everyday friends, and i was there, id never met her, i felt so wierd, like i shouldnt be there. i think i was the only none japanese there. still it was quite touching and i felt very sad.
i think she was in relationship with seiichi yamamoto. i went to see him play with phew not so long after and he didnt perform. it must have really had a massive effect on him, as it would for anyone in his situation.
R.I.P China
