Celebrities pay their respect to Saijo Hideki on their blog and on social media

With the death of Saijo Hideki (who passed away due to acute heart failure), celebrities are paying their respects to the singer/TV celebrity.

Hayami Yu wrote on her blog:

I am surprised to hear about Saijo Hideki’s passing.  I will cherish the time when Hideki made his debut at the age of 20.  I also had the opportunity to co-star with him in a drama.  Hideki was always energetic on stage.  Even after having health problems, he worked hard on rehabilitating and I will always respect Hideki 100%.  He was always very friendly, always had a gentle smile.”

In the bottom of the photo of Hayami and Saijo, she wrote, “Every year, I am always looking forward to going to Hideki’s concert!  REST IN PEACE”.

Singer Diamond Yukai wrote on his blog:

When Saijo would take the mic stand and sing “Bara no Kusari”, back in elementary school, I was copying Saijo and imitating him.

Even to this day, I would take the microphone stand and sing like him.

He will forever be a star.
