A digital memorial for Kentarō Miura - May 6th is approaching

[Akipainter]

Hi everyone,

with May 6th just around the corner, I wanted to share something I've been working on: kentaromiuramemorial.com, a digital memorial I built for Kentarō Miura.

The site is completely non-profit and requires no account. Visitors can leave tribute messages, reply to each other, and connect with other fans from around the world. There's a section where you can write a message that will only become visible on May 6th, like a sealed letter waiting for the anniversary of his passing.

The feature I'm most attached to is the bell: you can ring it to pay your respects, and when you do, it rings in real time for everyone else on the page at that exact moment. A quiet, shared gesture across the world.

I know this community has been close to Miura's work for a long time, so it felt right to share it here. If you have any feedback or thoughts, I'd genuinely love to hear them.

Thanks for reading.
Fabio

Today is May 6th.
Thank you to everyone who visited kentaromiuramemorial.com, left a message, rang the bell, or simply sat with it for a moment. Knowing that people from all over the world paused today to remember him means everything.
The sealed letters are now visible. I hope reading them brings you the same feeling they brought me — that Miura's work didn't just tell a story. It became part of ours.
In memory of Kentarō Miura, May 6th 2021.
