Nearly every day in April, people have been killing themselves with hydrogen sulfide gas - some of them go quietly while some end up harming others with the gas. The latest person reported to kill herself was Miyuki Asou - a gravure idol who turned to making AV movies..
"This 22 years old woman had been a stages actress when she was a high school student. Later, she entered in the show business world, and until recently, she’d been active as a gravure idol. However, she couldn’t become so popular, and this February, she challenged to a porn video. And thanks to her past career, she could become one of popular actresses.
But it seems this change and transfer was a stress to her, and on March 18th, she killed herself in a bath room at her apartment. Before she passed away, it is rumored that she had notified her suicide on her blog, but her agency has already closed it, so there are no means to confirm it."

You must be psychic Danny I only just read about this on someone's blog via Otaku.fm and you posted it.
Man this was sad. And though she is already gone I quite question her move into porn, that would have made her lose even more self-esteem real quick. Poor girl.

I was wondering where the hell people were managing to get enough H2S to kill themselves with, then I checked wikipedia:
Hydrogen Sulfide has been used frequently in Japan, created when mixing a detergent with a shampoo. Inhalation of the compound is lethal. The Japanese government have been battling an alarming surge in suicides using this method.
Thanks wiki!

kinda forget after this many years... :P
and if i'm not mistaken, even mixing two different brands (probably not all, i guess)of cleaning agents will end up lethal too O_o

Sad, and more than just pitting the fact, I think society should rethink about what is happening to people like her.
You know, it's not a mere coincidence that she was a young idol, and ended up the wrong way.
I think there are lots of people being submitted to things they shouldn't at young ages, and the result of that exposure eventually leads to stuff like that.
Need more examples? Britney Spears, Mcauley Culkin, Michael Jackson... among others.
Now, it's not that kids, young actors/actresses or idols should be forbidden to do their jobs, but the industry have to rethink the way these kids are being dealt with.
And if they don't find a way, yeah, then it should be forbidden.

everyday is a sad day then, tons of people commit suicide daily, about 80 people per hour probably. I feel sorry her will was too weak to live on after all she went through. She probably couldn't deal with the fact that she ended up as a AV actress.

Not necessary its an easy way.
Taking away one's own life needs a lot of guts and determination. I'm sure most of us will think twice when we are half suffocating, that we want to live another day.
I've come close to near death situation when I almost drowned in a pool - was pushed in the deep end by a colleague who didn't know i couldn't swim :D When ur gasping for air and the lungs r filled with water, its not easy dude.
May her soul rest in peace.

She tried so hard in her career and completely lost hope in that...
I hate the "People"'s world because of that... A ruthless environment full of vultures and hypocrites. She was a victim of that.
She did want recognition and fame via hard work but rivalry in that domain is intense. Even more because in societies we are raised and trained to become generic humans (provider of labor, taxpayers and customers broadly) and not unique people. The individualistic side and the interdiction to show one's feelings of pain and suffering.
I also wanted to say that extreme despair is something no one wants to face, but it happens in our world, can happen to anyone, at any place and any moment and is closer than anyone would recognize.
Anyway... May she rest in peace.

Wow, thats sad and depressing. Theres nothign in the world that is worth your life.
In times like this I like to post the words of Rocky Balboa. Im not joking, I follow these words closely. Whenever Im down i remember them and I get better...
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you!".... Rocky Balboa

When pain comes, physical appearance (and if relevant, beauty) does not matter.
You should not have that kind if bias.
No one should live suffering like that or give up on their lives.

Been thinking of what to say, but nothing comes to mind that will do. She should have taken more time took stock of her life. Other people have led worse lives than her, and many never even got a chance to do so. She could have been able to turn hers around... My prayers for her soul. So young.

Ouch. My condolences.
The human mind is fragile, really. Ultimately, it's ourselves that make or break us. That choice to sleep in the dark, or to continue in the light... Well, I guess no one really knows until that moment which would be chosen. I mean, I might be saying that I definitely won't go suicidal, but ten years down the road and the window would have a whole lot more appeal to me.
Life is THAT unpredictable.

i cant pity anyone that commits suicide. shes cute, but stupid. there were infinite possiblities for her to do something about her life, but she chose the easiest way out. if she could hack it in high school she should've hacked it in gravure, since she didnt why not move to something better, like going out of the country, going out of towm, going somewhere where no one would have recognized her. build up again and come back.
of course my suspicion lies in the AV people who may have forced this life on her, kind of like raping her to submission. there are many pornstars in america that have went like this girl, shes another one in a very long list of AV/porn suicides.
like i said i cant pity suicides.

My condolence to her family and friends... Hope her soul finds the peace and happiness that this world wasn't able to provide.
Like they say..."Death is not a choice. Death is giving up."
Me, I refuse to die...I'll linger in this world until my body can no longer sustain me. But until then...I'll live as happily as I can...despite my life being far from perfect ^^;

See doesn't look like the type that fits being an AV idol to me, so her move to pornography might have not been deliberately her own idea from the start.

What my question is...did she get any help and/or support from her family, friends, etc? I know that in Japanese culture that it's hard to open up to others about personal problems, but a lot personal issues could be solved.
Such sad news. Until the next world....
