My neighbor has throat cancer, and he can speak, it just sounds really raspy and quiet, so sometimes I can't understand what he says.

This is the first time I've seen a picture of Tsunku since 2013, so I'm really happy. This man has dedicated his life to music, and I'm glad that he's not letting cancer get in the way. Go Tsunku!

ffs. T_T But he looked very healthy, and that's the most important thing. ;~; Lost weight though.


I had no idea that Tsunku wouldn't be able to speak again. I'm sad but I'm happy that perhaps this means the canser won't return? Wow.
I used to have a Tumblr about Idols...

You can still whisper-speak, of course, and you can almost reach a conversational volume if you put enough breath into it.

Through rehabilitation, there is a possibility of producing voice with esophageal. You will sound very differently than what you used to be but be able to communicate in daily life.

This is so sad...but glad he is healthy again.

Come to think of it, we all saw the signs this was happening:
music production came to halt for a few months, other songwriters taking over, he had someone read a message to Berryz before their final concert, etc.

H!P Leader Yajima Maimi comments on Tsunku

そして、
本日、つんく♂さんが、癌の摘出手術を行い、声を失ったことを発表していました。


私たちがお会いする時も
いつもケータイに文字を打って、伝えて下さっていました。


ケータイに打たれた文字からは、いつも
私たちの事を凄く考えて下さっている事が伝わってきます。


今回の新曲の中の1曲
『The Middle Management~女性中間管理職~』もつんく♂さんが作詞をして下さいましたが、


長年私たちを見てくれているつんく♂さんだからこその、詞がそこにあると思って、とても嬉しかったです。


つんく♂さんの作って下さる歌を歌える事に感謝して、これからも大切に歌い続けて行きたいです‼︎

Such awful news. To have his vocal cords removed must have been the toughest decision he's ever made. I just wish him all the best and I'm so glad he's still with us!

A Japanese friend of mine who has no interest in Jpop at all brought up the subject of Tsunku and was saying how tragic yet inspirational he was, and how the audience just broke out in applause when he said he would press forward with things he was able to do.

Online version of the Nikkan Sport article that Amped just posted. http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainme ... 57051.html
It seems that all Hello! Project members did not know that he has lost his voice until yesterday announcement. Only Sharan Q members and his closely related staff knew about it. H!P members were told by their managers/staffs while doing their duties yesterday. Maimi implied on her blog that Tsunku has been using texting on cellphone to communicate with the member for awhile now, so they probably just thought that he could not use his voice as a requirement for a treatment.
