RYYG received the below from Harada Shuroku's daughter the other day and she asked us to share with you, English then 日本語.

**To all valued fans of Shuroku Harada,**

It is with deep sorrow that we inform you of the passing of Shuroku Harada in 2024.

He left behind these last words: 'ARIGATO-DAKE-GA-JINSEI', which can be translated into English as 'I can only express my deepest thanks to you and all who have been involved in my life.'

His works still empower us with power and vitality even now.

Though he is no longer with us, we hope to continue a heartfelt dialogue with you through his works.

His loss has come as a shock to all of us.
We sincerely apologize for the delay in sharing this news and appreciate your kind understanding and continued support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Shuroku Harada's family
