Kayo Satou's suicide.

Suicide process

On April 4th, she lived in Chengcheng, the president of the production company, and moved to Nanqingshan apartment to live alone. Today, I have a singing and dancing course in the office of the production company (it was filmed at this time). When she took part in the video of the song surprise (when she was singing "Red Lip Network"), a primary school girl in the audience of the studio asked, "Miss Kayo Satou is so thin and small, why are her breasts so big?" Let her look embarrassed.

April 5th: I watched the movie "France Silk" somewhere in Tokyo with her friend, Yohko Minamino, who was also an idol artist at that time. There will be a performance at Shibuya Guild Hall that day. ※.

April 6th: Due to a public performance in Nagoya, I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagoya. On the same train with her was Hikaru Ij?in, an artist who was not famous at that time and was still a linguist. He said that he had seen Hiko. Later, she went back to her home in Nagoya, which was the last time she met her family. ※. That evening, she took the Shinkansen from Nagoya at 8: 53 and returned to Tokyo.

April 7th: Attend the East Asia premiere of the movie "Rocky 4 is invincible in the world" at Shibuya Temple at 7: pm. At the premiere of the movie, you can see Hiko dressed in traditional costumes, which is the last time she has appeared in public in my life.

※: It comes from "Popular Idols Elected by One Million People" published by Baodao Society in 22.

What happened after suicide

On April 8, 1986, at 1: a.m., Kayo Satou was found to have a pulse cut in her Tokyo residence and there were a lot of attempted gas suicides in her residence. Two hours later, she was discharged from the hospital and went to the Okido building where her record company was located. At 12: 15 p.m., she committed suicide by jumping off a building on the seventh floor. At that time, she was only eighteen years old. No one knows the cause of suicide so far, but the most powerful statement is that the actress Tru Minegishi played with her feelings (after she committed suicide, Tru Minegishi specially held a press conference), and then there were rumors that she was in love with the actress Kanda Masaki on the computer communication. At the same time, there is also a legend that she died following the racer Lu Yuanguang who died unexpectedly the day before (April 7).

At that time, because of her suicide case, there was a wave of suicides, and a series of juvenile suicide cases occurred, which was called "Hickory Syndrome". At that time, the Congress also brought this up for discussion.

At the same time of her suicide, Weekly magazine also discovered Honami Suzuki, Tomoko Yamaguchi and Kuniko Asagi, which were not unknown at that time.

Two days later, on April 1th, 1986, at the end of the music program "The Best Ten" on TBS TV, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi comforted depressed fans and reminded them not to commit suicide. On the same day, Akina Nakamori, who starred at the same time, cried on the spot because she suddenly learned of Okada's death.
