F*#k F%&k F@$K 2020 to here and never back again! This cannot be happening. I…..just…..I can’t. I feel like I’m burying loved ones on after another and it’s inconceivable why it keeps happening. J-ent has reported that top J-actress Takeuchi Yuko has passed away at 40 years old. The cause of death is apparent suicide in her own home in Tokyo. She leaves behind her second husband Nakabayashi Taiki, a newborn son who arrived in January 2020, and an older son with first husband Nakamura Shido. She has SOOOOOOOOO MANY doramas and movies under her belt I can’t even begin to list it but of her more notable works with got broader attention were her two doramas with Kimura Takuya in the ice hockey romance perfection Pride and their reunion in doctor dorama A Life: A Love. She got her first big break with Lunch no Joou and even went to darker fare with Strawberry Night. Most recently she had a memorable supporting role in the two most recent Confidence Man movies. I’m beyond heartbroken to hear of her passing and honestly please please anyone everyone who is feeling down please reach out, call your country/city suicide helpline, call friends and family, heck even email me. If you want an out, please know there is another option other than the final one.
The picture above is her from last public appearance. T__T
Paying homage to Haru (Spring) and Aki (Autumn) from Pride, please watch THE BEST OPENING SEQUENCE EVER from any J-dorama. I will fight you ugly style if you quibble with this. Turned me into a Yuko fan and a Queen fan.

I love love her. Especially her and Kimura Takuya. Pride is my MOST favorite Jdrama and I still watch it every single year as a tribute and reminder why I love the Jdrama and the KimuraTakeuchi duo so so much. How I feel so sad and lost with this news of her. I will miss her dearly. What a shock and blow to my emotional state right now
How utterly tragic! Bara No Nai Hanaya is one of my top 5 East Asian Dramas from anywhere or any when, but what a terrible loss for her infant particularly. :(
What the...I am speechless right now!! What the hell is going on 2020?!
Sunday... opening this is not ....... May you rest well.... for those who are having a hard time, call the hotline for help.....
I saw her name trending and i was like no no no :'( even saw a clip of her and Haruma Miura TT Pray they can rest in peace. I'm going through a hard time atm and trying to find things that keep me going, we have to believe sth better will come our way and we have to keep going. Let's not stop fighting!
I'm with you, Ran. Let's keep going<3
She is one of the jap actress that I have watched several dramas on. Had enjoyed Pride a lot & rewatch 2-3 times along the years. This show also introduce me to “Queen” songs. 2020 has been terrible in all sense. There’s so much fatalities. RIP.
Nooooo OMG nooooo RIP Yuko-San.
Oh my, may she rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. This pandemic has been tough not just on people's livelihood but mental health as well. To anyone reading this, sending out virtual hugs wherever part of the world you may be.
What will happen to her children? Esp the eldest, since the ex husband is a scumbag to her.
I would probably urge you to not judge people from press releases.
Really, was he? That is very sad.
RIP Yuko.
