Oh, no....
Thank you Daisuke for relying to all of us this very sad news.
Oh, what a bad way to start this new year with!
Rest in peace Akemi, I was one of the privileged in this forum to receive a few messages from you, when you wanted to praise my insignificant additions to your magnificent models. I will always remember your kind and gentle words and the memory of few years ago, when I could not wait for your new releases to replace CFS2 Japanese stock aircrafts, will always be with me. You gave your hard work freely, without asking anything in return. Domo, arigato forever!
Your talent and expertise will be sorely missed, may you be granted a special place in the real and virtual aviator's heavens and fly forever the aircrafts you designed in clear, blue, warm and infinite skies!
Let me also add I feel you helped making this world a friendlier place, by contributing to a hobby which keeps in touch people from all corners of the planet. Thank you for this, as well.
Stefano
