Music Magazine, June 2008 Revival! Kiyoshiro Imawano Main Contents [Feature] Revival! Kiyoshiro Imawano In July 2006, a handwritten letter with his usual cat illustration was posted on the official page. "I have been diagnosed with laryngeal cancer and will be undergoing long-term hospitalization and treatment..." The news spread quickly. Voices of concern and encouragement were heard from all over. Not much was known about his condition. It reminded me of Otis Redding, who had surgery to remove polyps and changed his singing style. On February 10, 2008, Kiyoshiro Imawano returned to the Budokan. Even if we haven't met yet, we'll meet again. At the summer festivals, and on DVD.
