Better than "It's a drag, isn't it?" I suppose...

What else is a celebrity expected to say? I feel sorry for her that she was asked such a pathetic question.

Idiots.

Why can't they ask something along the lines of "how are you coping with your life after his death?" That would just make to much sense.

Better than "Joshua who?"

I am not being funny but who was Joshua? Was he a Japanese idol or what?

It's just really stupid that celebrities are asked "So how do you feel" after a death, isnt it? A blatantly stupid question. Also insensitive. I'm not a great celebrity lover they're still human.

texas, world:

The news article doesn't even mention what the reporters asked her or whether it was her who spoke about her husband first.

She was in the movie Kamikaze Girls, had a song on the soundtrack, sang one of the opening tracks for Nana the anime (broken rose) and so on and so forth. Joshua I know nothing about.

That is sad. I also pity her for having to answer such questions from reporters.

Joshua was a model who was popular & famous among young guys. He is a brother of Kozue Rin (now known as Friedia, who used to date Benji Madden from Good Charlotte).

I didn't even know he had passed away. Heart failure at 25? Yeesh. Well, my sympathies to Tsuchiya both for the death of her ex-husband.
