Former Morning Musume member, Ogawa Makoto tweets a message to Yoshizawa Hitomi and the victims from the accident

Former Morning Musume member Ogawa Makoto posted a tweet for Yoshizawa Hitomi (after her arrest for negligence and driving under the influence).

Many Morning Musume members have went silent in regards to Yoshizawa’s accident, but Ogawa is the first Morning Musume elder to go public with a comment.

吉澤さん…

本当にショックで、苦しくて、つらくて、悲しくて
怒りの気持ちも込み上げる

まずは何よりも事故にあわれた方が、大事に至らなくて本当に良かった…

私の心、時計は止まっているかのようですが
それでも、世界は、世の中の時間は止まらず進み続ける

今日を一生懸命に頑張らないと…

Ogawa tweeted:

Yoshizawa-san,

I am shocked, it’s painful, sad and it’s really hard to understand and I am very angry.

First, those who were hurt in the accident, I am very glad they are doing well.

In my heart, I feel the clock has stopped, but even so, the world continues on and I have to work hard today in order to keep myself moving.
