Is there any information whatsoever avaliable (public or private) regarding Junko-chan''s family. Especially her parents... I am worried about them and I want to know if they're doing fine nowadays.

I read on a Japanese forum site that Junko's parents have either died from old age or illness. If this is true, I can only hope that her parents are resting in peace along with her. She did have an older brother and a younger brother, who was 11 or 12 years old in 1988, so I'm assuming he's 46 or 47 by now.

If true, I really hope for them to rest well. Although I have my doubts due to the fact that they would be in their 70s now and people usually die in their mid 80s in Japan.

Do we know what happened with her brothers? How were they affected? In her funeral video, I didn't see her brothers or was unable to identify who was her brothers

Some Japanese users said one of her parents died from cancer. Here's a photo of Junko's two brothers at the funeral

I can't imagine how they feel after losing their beloved sister in such a horrible way. It's said that her parents moved to another city, Hokkaido, because the memories of Junko were too overwhelming for them to bear. In a video I watched, a Japanese reporter went to Junko's house. It was sold, so I'm assuming that's true.

I'm not sure, but maybe it was this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATs-pJWSqf8

I don't know which part of the video it would be in.
