RIP Hana Kimura

😣😔😔❤️❤️❤️❤️🙇🏾😢😢😢  RIP Hana Kimura chan. I am so, so devastated by the news of you ascending. I started watching Netflix’s “Terrace House( @th_6_tv)” a few months ago to work on my Japanese studies and I adored your spirit Hana Chan.

I loved how open, and vulnerable you were. You also showed so much strength in how you shared your views and you didn’t fluff or hold back your opinion if you disagreed with how other people were showing up on the day to day.

I LOVED how your character came alive in the ring and your mindfulness of others was such a breath of fresh air. Hana Kimura chan, do you have the best dropkick like ever?! It was amazing to see how shy you appeared outside of the ring but once in there, you were resilient, strong and a true warrior!

I truly wanted to say “hi” the next time I visited Tokyo and I’m so sorry that the words from others took their toll on your beautiful, kind, thoughtful, supportive, vibrant, and beautiful young spirit. My adoration for you is so, so high.

I talked with friends about you so much and posted about you recently in my stories, just because I was super intrigued about your story. After 8 visits to Japan, I learned a lot from being fully immersed in the music scene under the moniker MeccaGodZilla. I run around with both full Japanese and half-Japanese youth (some are 1/4 mixed with other nationalities) often and they share with me the stories of what it is like to grow up, live, and survive as “hafu/hapa” in Japan. It’s not easy and what I learned about the level of psychological pressure there was eye-opening, to say the least. There’s an adage in Japan that shares “the nail that sticks out too far gets hammered back into place.” I don’t know the full story but, if the people cyberbullying Hana were indeed full Japanese acting upon the aforementioned ideal due to Hana gaining a lot of love and support for being on Terrace House, then it’s insanely unfair and I HOPE, the swift hand of justice finds all that added on to the pressure that eventually pushed Hana Kimura to make such a fatal decision. To me it is criminal and there’s gotta be some recompense in the form of justice because Hana Kimura was truly adored both inside and outside of Japan. It pains me that she is not here to see the outpouring of fan support right now. To my non-Japanese friends, I cannot stress this enough… bullying is wrong I don’t care where in the world it happens. BUT it is also so, so different here in the USA. Japan’s bullying is WAY MORE psychological BUT you will have to hit me up privately so we can have that conversation, it is way too much to get into right here but here’s a good entry point for you: Suicide in Japan.

Hana, I apologize for all that had harsh things to say about you. I’m so devastated. Your a beautiful spirit and the world will not be the same. Thank you for the light you shared with all of us. I’m so sorry humanity failed you. Please know it’s not you but EVERYTHING to do with how stupid, insensitive, and low frequency some people can be.

Because Terrace House has not finished streaming/filming the new season on Netflix, I am not sure if you found true love or not. I hoped so much that you would be able to find a partner that respected your lifestyle, would support you as a wrestler, and could see what many of us foreigners can see… not only were you physically stunning as a woman, but really, really beautiful as a spirit. Hana you have such a beautiful and pure soul – you totally cannot fake that on TV. From your laugh to the way your eyes smiled with excitement to you covering your face during bashful fun moments… Again, you just cannot fake that type of light on Television and I totally saw that your spirit radiated like the sun. I am deflated because I literally had you on my list to hit up. I am supposed to visit Asia again this coming December and January. I have lived in Japan before and I truly wanted to bring you something in hopes to creatively collaborate. My plan was to make wrestling music for you to walk out to. Today I went into my work notes on my iPhone and was crushed. I feel so bad about everything right now and truly won’t even have the chance because of cyberbullying… I just wanted to surprise you with the music already done…because of who I know in Tokyo, I know for sure I would’ve been able to say hi to you for a coffee or quick lunch to share… I still can’t believe this happened.

(above you’ll see “Hana wrestling music” with her agent’s contact email. The thing is with my connections in Japan, it would be easy for me to set up a meeting, not trying to brag, but I’m pretty lucky out there. I’m devastated by what happened 🙁  )

 

It pains me to no end that you secretly were suffering because of the words of trolls online. You truly made Japan, Indonesia and the rest of the world see what it means to be fully self-expressed with a light energy that was anchored not only from a place of love, but of truth, innocence and a shy willingness to grow. Much love, light, and respect Hana Kimura chan.

Rest In Peace @hanadayo0903MeccaGodZilla ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💎💎💎💎🙏🏿🙏🏿💪🏿💪🏿
