El inesperado fallecimiento de la actriz Takeuchi Yuko (Saitama, 1980) ha dejado a sus seguidores y a la industria audiovisual en shock. El domingo por la mañana su marido, el también actor Nakabayashi Taiki, se encontró con la intérprete muerta en su apartamento de Tokio. Yuko deja a dos hijos, el más pequeño un bebé nacido el pasado mes de enero.
A sus 40 años, Yuko era una estrella en su Japón natal y en el resto del mundo, donde era conocida principalmente por su papel en la película de terror Ringu (1998), cinta original en la que se basó el posterior remake estadounidense The Ring (2002).

While Takeuchi left no note, death by suicide is being presumed. If that is confirmed Takeuchi’s demise would follow other recent suicides by well-known Japanese talents, including actress Ashina Sei earlier this month, actor Miura Harumi in July and reality TV star Kimura Hana in May.

Everyone has the same worries, be they famous people from the past or great philosophers. Don’t think you’re the only one with worries – spit them out, get help. You’re not alone.

Online commenters have mentioned post-partum depression, the pressures of Japanese show business and the lack of mental health support in Japan as possible contributing factors to Takeuchi’s suicide. “Japan is cold in the way it thinks about the mentally ill,” wrote one TV Asahi news site commenter. “In terms of spiritual happiness, Japan ranks extremely low in comparison with the rest of the world,” noted another.
