Dear Mr.Wilson, I am sorry for your loss. I became a fan of Honda Minako's when I was in Japan 1991-1994 and she remained special to me. While Seiko Masuda's fans may have longed for their idol Minako's fans genuinely loved her. We would have given her a kidney if she needed it, stood in front of her to take the bullet were she attacked by an assassin. I am convinced that millions of us still love her in that way. She was beautiful, talented, sweet, sensual, a complete human person. We all knew this just from C.D.'s and videos. I believe she is singing to Amida Buddha is the Pure Land now. She is also, in a real sense, a kami, a window into the inconceivable for many who would otherwise lack spirituality. The universe itself must sense the goodness her fans and her friends like you saw in her. More than an angel, as Brian May referred to her, a Bodhisattva and a goddess. How could any woman embody talent, beauty, warmth and sensuality any more fully than she did? I must seem very naive for a 59 year old man from the USA, but I am convinced that millions still feel what I do for her. She was incomparable and I regret that you had to lose that dear person who was your friend. In your own way I wonder if you don't suspect the sort of positive new life unfolding for her that imagine through the auspices of the Buddha's Pure Realm of Influence (O Jo Do).
