J-Pop singer Hirata Runa, known by her stage name “Luna-chan,” dies at around 4am on Friday, her agency says. The agency reports she developed myocarditis after suffering influenza, and that she had been recovering following her recent stage performance.
Multiple reports describe her death as occurring several days after she appeared onstage. The agency statement attributes her condition to a link between influenza and myocarditis, but outlets differ only slightly in wording and timing details as they relay the same underlying account. No additional causes beyond the agency’s medical explanation are stated in the provided coverage.
Overall, the reports focus on the chronology from stage appearance to illness and death, and they emphasize the role of influenza-related myocarditis as described by her representatives.
