The voice actress Atsuko Tanaka passed away on August 20 following a year-long battle against an undisclosed illness.

damn
may you rest in peace

Her son Hikaru shared the news on X today, apologizing for revealing the parent-child relationship in this way.

not sure what the implication means but they must be in a difficult/weird position if they have the need to apologize

Not necessarily. Japan is 'weird'.

It may be considered proper to be introduced by your parent/elder.

edit Could also be a mistranslation. Perhaps he ment 'sorry for finding out about her death this way.'

It's a weird translation, the original text is something like, "It is with great regret that I have to inform you of our parent-child relationship in this way."
