Kohske has spoken openly for years in both English and Japanese about her diagnoses and treatment. This was reiteration due to continued messages from foreign fans.

Please also be mindful that using terms such as "battle" and "fight" to describe someone living with an illness can be construed as insensitive. There are various alternative suggestions available from illness and disability media style resources that don't carry the same negative conotations.

I've known for a long time that she had a well condition that slowed down her work, but I didn't know that it was this bad.
