It has been two years since the studio of "Kyoto Animation" was set on fire, killing 36 employees and injuring 32 people in 18 days.
A memorial service will be held on the site of the burnt-out studio to pray to the victims of the bereaved family and company officials.
On July 18, the first studio of "Kyoto Animation" in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto was set on fire, killing 36 employees and seriously injuring 32.
On the 18th, two years after the incident, a memorial service was held on the site of the burnt-out studio, and the bereaved family, President Hideaki Hatta, and other company officials attended to pray to the victims.
However, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, we are calling on the general public, such as fans, not to visit the area around the site as we did last year. We are planning to distribute a video for memorial service on the official channel of Kyoto Animation.
The lay judge trial of Shinji Aoba (43), who was charged with murder and arson in this case, has not been set for the first date of the procedure to sort out the issues in advance, and it is not expected to start.
