Full comment

Today, I would like to extend my greetings from the volunteers of the bereaved family when a memorial service was held one year after the incident. I think that this incident was really unfortunate for our deceased family, who had sincerely dealt with animation production, and we, the bereaved family, stand up with a beloved family that never disappears. I feel sadness, loneliness, emptiness, and regret beyond my control.

But first, I would like to thank the many people involved in this incident. At the time of the incident, many people in the neighborhood, including fire departments, police, and medical personnel desperately tried to rescue and save lives, and our precious family who lost their lives to us. We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your hard work and efforts.

In addition, after the incident, many people in Japan and around the world received great support and support for Kyoto Animation (Kyo-ani). Through the great support and support from everyone, I was once again informed that the company, work, and works in which the deceased worked were widely and deeply loved. And being proud of the work the deceased was doing helped us. I am deeply grateful to everyone for their warm feelings for Kyo-ani and their works.

On the day of the incident, all the employees who encountered the incident on the day of the incident, and the colleagues who worked together to make the work, kindly cared for our bereaved family while holding their hardship after the incident.

In addition, many people, including friends and acquaintances of the deceased and those around us, kindly paid attention to the bereaved families who were sad from the incident. I thank you very much.

This time, we were faced with such unavoidable crime damage, and our bereaved family was thrown into the dark and deep darkness, but many people who faced the crime damage that occurred in Japanese society so far have included the bereaved family. The creation of a mechanism to support victims to live a peaceful life and the transmission of information such as books have been carried out.

That also helped us bereaved families. I am deeply grateful to the people involved and this accumulation. Originally, we should thank all of you directly for the bereaved family's voice, but we are still in a state of deep sadness and lack of control of our hearts.

However, I would like to thank all of you for the opportunity to thank you on July 18th, one year later. In this case, the death toll has reached 36 and the number of bereaved families has increased considerably.

Each bereaved family remembers the deceased in its own way and tries to overcome the pain with each other's hands as much as possible. Now, I want to share my sadness with my bereaved family, friends, and acquaintances, and pray quietly.

I would appreciate if you could watch over it gently. We believe that the case will be properly judged in the future. We also strongly hope that such a crime will never occur again in a society.

I don't think there will ever be a day when the deep sorrow that suddenly and unreasonably has been lost by a family who has lived together for years and has been trying to live together while talking about unloved stories will disappear.

I think it was a regret that he and they couldn't say goodbye to us and their friends, passed away, and that the life that they had built up was suddenly cut off.

However, I think that he must be watching us from the sky. We will continue to look at the way they and their passionate animation producers were trying to walk. Thank you very much
