Her great-grandson has tweeted for her 119th birthday. https://mobile.twitter.com/tanakakane0102/status/1477294276954701824?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1477294276954701824|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=

Tanaka is reportedly ill

After Irene Dunham's 114th birthday there are 16 validated living 114+-year-olds, a new record. Also, Yoshi Otsunari turned 115, so there are two 115+ people (Tanaka and Otsunari) in the same Japanese prefecture (Fukuoka). Tanaka and Otsunari are oldest validated people ever in Fukuoka.

There have been 31 consecutive World's Oldest Living Persons from 1999 to 2021 who failed to make it to 118. If both Tanaka and Randon are still living on February 11, we'll have a person aged 118 who's not even the WOP

Kane Tanaka only 20 days away from her 119th birthday...LOL I hadn't ever thought that she would make it that far.

Yoshi Baba enters top 100 oldest verified people ever, so there are now 12 living people in the top 100.

Bessie Hendricks, 3rd oldest verified living American turned 114. https://www.messengernews.net/news/local-news/2021/11/114-years-and-counting/

Lucile Randon ties Nabi Tajima at the age of 117 years and 260 days. So 3rd and 4th oldest person ever are concurrently alive.

Number of people in the top100 oldest verified ever by year of birth 1870:1 1871:1 1872:- 1873:1 1874:- 1875:2 1876:- 1877:1 1878:1 1879:1 1880:4 1881:2 1882:4 1883:- 1884:2 1885:2 1886:1 1887:2 1888:1 1889:3 1890:6 1891:2 1892:- 1893:3 1894:1 1895:3 1896:7 1897:3 1898:3 1899:4 1900:7 1901:4 1902:4 1903:5 1904:3 1905:9 1906:4 1907:3 Last year without representation: 1892 Year with biggest representation as of now: 1905

Fusa Tatsumi, 10th oldest living person, currently aged 114 years and 183 days, enters top 100 oldest verified people ever.

Valentine Ligny, 6th oldest living person, turns 115. She is the 57th validated person who reaches 115th birthday.

Antonia da Santa Cruz has reached the age of 116 years and 129 days, surpassing Jeanne Bot. She has now lived longer than all other validated supercentenarians born in 1905.

Kane has declined since 117th birthday and even more after 118th birthday (ok just remember that only 2 other people have ever reached it), something probably related to the fact that she got ill in the start of both winters. It doesn't seem like she has during the last year as exceptional mental clarity as Lucile who thinks and speaks really orderly. At least, we don't have a recent video with her speaking so much. Actually Lucile seems like she hasn't declined at all in this field. However this doesn't necessarily mean that she will have a longer lifespan. Of course the fact that she is so stable is a VERY good sign for her. She could go far.
