Japanese singer-songwriter Sayuri has passed away at the age of 28. She had been on indefinite hiatus as of July this year due to vocal dysphonia. For those unfamiliar with her work, she left behind two wonderful performances on the YouTube channel The First Take, Koukai no Uta (About a Voyage) and Mikazuki (Crescent Moon) (English captions are available for both songs).
Also known as Sanketsu Shoujo Sayuri (Hypoxia Girl Sayuri), she was an active busker in Tokyo both before and after she was picked up by a major record label. She would start off her public song performances with the introduction "I am Hypoxia Girl Sayuri. I will sing one song, please give me 5 minutes of your time!" She recreated this atmosphere for her First Take performance.
As an artist, she was most well known for her songs that became anime EDs, including About a Voyage which was used in Season 4 of My Hero Academia and more recently the ED for Lycoris Recoil, Hana no Tou (Tower of Flower).
She married her husband, Ama Arashi of the duo Misekai, in March of this year. Three weeks ago, the group released a song Fleeting Girl (English captions available) which gains new context in light of the recent announcement.
Here is a sampling of some of her tracks that are well-loved by her fans:
Furaregai Girl (written by Youjirou Noda of RADWIMPS)
Sore wa Chisana Hikari no You na (Like a Small Light)
Heikousen (Parallel Lines)
Reimei (Daybreak)
Raise ni Aou (Let's Meet in the Afterlife)
