This saddens me immensely. She performed the open for The Fruit of Grisaia and The Eden of Grisaia (The Labyrinth Of Grisaia having no opening theme,) as well as the closing themes for Highschool of the DEAD and (most recently) More>Strongly for Reincarnated As A Sword, where she was reunited (in a way) with Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets, who did the opens for the two series. She had a beautiful voice and it hurts to think that all we have now are the recordings she left.
