Miho Nakayama (54 years old), eternal super idol, “shining for 40 years,” “I just wanted to cry” all over Japan

The untimely death of a superstar

The sudden parting made me just want to cry.

On the evening of December 6, the whole archipelago was shaken by the news of the death of Miho Nakayama, an actor and singer. Actor and singer Miho Nakayama passed away at her home in Tokyo. She was 54 years old, and her 40th anniversary was coming up next year.

Ms. Nakayama was found in the bathtub of her apartment, face submerged in water. Her office announced that the cause of death was an accident in the bathtub.

A woman in her 70s who lived near Nakayama’s home told FRIDAY, “I think it was after 12 noon.

I think it was after 12 noon when a fire truck and an ambulance came with sirens blaring, and about five minutes later someone was carried out on a stretcher. I didn’t know Miho Nakayama lived there.

Another woman living nearby had seen Nakayama before her death.

There is a Life and a Meidi-ya in the neighborhood, and Ms. Nakayama was shopping at the more commonplace Life. She was wearing a cap, but she didn’t seem to be in disguise. I was impressed that she was standing in line at the cash register looking the same beautiful figure we see on TV.

Her sister, Shinobu Nakayama (51), who rushed to her sister’s side, bowed her head to the press, including a FRIDAY reporter, with tears streaming down her face.

She said, “It happened so suddenly that there is nothing I can tell you now. …… I’m sure I will be able to speak to you again. I am sorry it is so late. ……”

She will serve as a pallbearer. The superstar’s untimely death was reported around the world – and the world.
