I literally had Flying in the Sky playing on loop this past weekend. That was one of the catchiest songs of my childhood. May he rest in peace.

2009 live clip of Flying in the Sky: https://youtu.be/LrgGHFJlsnY

2021 acoustic live of Flying in the Sky from Anison Flag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIfwU55f5nQ (referenced from this tweet: https://twitter.com/anisongfrag/status/1557000097522937862 ).

Back in November 2016 I was able to see Ushima-san as part of the 30th anniversary live for Akira Asakura (of Romantic Mode).

Akira Asakura has a blog post about that show: https://blog.excite.co.jp/akira-asakura/27009195/

Sad that he is no longer with us.

It sucks having to see these articles show up immediately after the other. And I hate that I expected it to come in groups, which usually happens.

Thank you Ushima for creating Flying in the Sky. One of my favorite Gundam songs. Thank you for also contributing to Rave's Butterfly Kiss.

RIP

I love the G Gundam theme songs and Flying Into the Sky always gets stuck in my head when I hear it. It's such an iconic part of G Gundam which is still one of my all time favorite Gundam shows. RIP Yoshifumi Ushima and my heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

His condition is one where you damage your liver so much that the scar tissue builds up and stops it from functioning. It's caused by hepatitis, drinking waaaay too much alcohol, or drinking far too many sugary drinks
