My mom was the babysitter of his son (with Norika) for a few years in the 90s. I was around 6-7 years old. I remember Norika as being incredibly kind. She would let my mom bring me to their home often while babysitting their toddler. We had just immigrated from China, so I was decked out in very fobby clothing. Norika took me to The Gap one day and bought a whole new wardrobe for me. I'm still grateful for her kind gesture 30 years later. I never spoke with Ryuichi. To me, he was just this mysterious man who occasionally showed up at the apartment and would go straight to his studio.
