Lately the weather conditions have been erratic, so maintaining health is very important so that you don't get sick easily. But there seems to be an incident related to the disease which is quite horrendous to the entertainment universe in Japan.

JurnalOtaku.com - There is currently a spread of influenza viruses in Japan that have infected 2.1 million people since the new year. The Seiyuu (Voice Actor/Actress) must have also been infected by this epidemic and unfortunately had to cancel their various jobs.

The Axl One agency announced on January 22 that Takuma Terashima (Real Girl, Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!) Had to cancel broadcasts on January 23 due to influenza. Until this article was written he was still sick and his broadcast position had been replaced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.

Seiyuu Wataru Hatano (Fairy Tail, IDOLiSH7) via Twitter also confessed to flu. So that the Futuristic album release party must be postponed. Hatano is scheduled to be present in Shinjuku on January 26 and in Osaka on January 27.

Junichi Suwabe also announced on January 26 that he had fallen ill through his blog. He wrote on his blog that he initially did a check-up on Wednesday and the results were negative but when the broadcast session was held, his condition deteriorated. He went to the hospital the next morning on Thursday to be tested again and the results were positive for influenza. Suwabe must cancel his performance at the Fate/Stay Night Movie: Heaven's Feel II's fan meeting on January 25 so he could recover from his illness.

Terashima, Hatano, and Suwabe are the last three seiyuu who contracted the virus which has caused more than 2.1 million Japanese citizens to get sick. Since the new year began, Yuuto Uemura, Chiharu Sawashiro, Yumiri Hanamori, Rikako Aida, Yoshino Nanjo, Ayasa Ito and Shiori Mikami have canceled plans because of the diagnosis of influenza. FYI, Japan's Ministry of Health reported that the three most affected prefectures were Aichi, Saitama and Shizuoka. It said the mild-type flu called H1N1 was 60 percent of the cases.

So, speaking of the Flu, admin also had a little flu, hehehe. Therefore, let's take care of our health, friends! Stay health and strong!
