[edit] What’s missing from this article?

What’s the big deal about Sakai Izumi? Why should Wikipedia readers be interested in reading about her? What did she do besides sing? Did she have a big impact on the Japanese music industry or the “music scene”? If so, what was it? Why was she popular? Why were so many other singers and a baseball player so grieved by her death? Was she controversial? Why did fans like her so much? How many records/albums/CDs did she sell?

Without answers to these questions, the long, drawn-out description of her death and funeral(s) are meaningless to people who are not already fans (i.e., most readers of Wikipedia). Please try to provide this kind of information, and attribute it to sources more reliable than tabloid newspapers and fan sites.

今のままでは、一番大事な情報を欠くこの記事は百科辞典にふさわしいものになっていません。それでは坂井さんは可愛そうです。ここでいわんとしていることがわからないときは、talk pageへどうぞ。説明します。Jim_Lockhart 15:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Progress

For those of you interested, I tried my best to put more information in perspective of who is Izumi Sakai and why her passing caused an uproar. Right now, the article is still in the stage of information gathering and there many leaks coming out now that she is no longer here. So I suggest that the article should just absorb the information. Once there are enough info, then there can be a better structure to organize them. twunga 08/30/2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tw4unga (talk • contribs) 00:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
