We also lost Kaori Fujita around the same time. What has this world come to? Maybe a tribute to Golden Sun in Smash would be nice to keep his spirit with us (it would at least be nice).

And here I thought having a Golden Sun headline on the frontpage was a good thing </3 R.I.P. to the guy, I enjoyed Golden Sun a lot thanks to it's design choices. He did a great job.

Shocking news indeed. That said, however, we all have to kick the bucket sometime. I'm just glad to have been able to behold his excellent work. Part of living life is all about creating something that will outlast you.

Maybe is because we are a bit older now; and many artists too. Its a shame; but everyone finds their end in one way or another.

Farewell Mr. Kajiyama; and rest in peace.
