Ryosuke Sakamoto, Bioman's Red One, Diagnosed With Cancer

[Aoi Kurenai]

So Ryosuke Sakamoto, who played Red One in Bioman, was recently diagnosed with cancer and will undergo surgery for it in September. (there's a summary of the event he made the announcement at here)

To sort of help cheer him up, we're asking people to use #GoRedOne on Twitter with messages of encouragement. All the messages made under that hashtag will be gathered up, translated, and shared with Sakamoto personally. If you've got a twitter account, it'd be great to contribute a message and show the guy he's got fans everywhere cheering him on. (even if you don't have Twitter, maybe sign up just for this one thing)

How unfortunate, hope he will win this real life battle like how his character did. Recover soon, Sakamoto-san

I wish things like this would extend outside of Twitter. From what I've heard, the Hashtag system on Twitter is broken. It works SO much better on places like Tumblr. There are more than Twitter users who want to take part it things like this, and we all ready have accounts on other social media websites.
