Gisaburo Sonobe (b. 6 November 1911) is the new OLM in Japan.

I am not sure that this info from findagrave.com is actually reliable. Also if her sister was born in early 1902 it doesn't mean that Kane wasn't born in late December 1902 as her family says.

Bessie Hendricks turned 115. 63 validated persons in history have reached this age.

Hide Hamabe of Miyazaki, Japan is validated at 113 years, 337 days. So Japan has 5 (of 8 worldwide) validated SCs from 1908. There is also Matsu Gaja (still unvalidated). 63% of living validated people born in 1908 lives in Japan. If mrs Gaja gets validated this percentage will increase

I didn't post this fifteen days ago, but ~1.5 month ago (20 September 2022). I posted it again to update the current ages of the TOP 10.

Current TOP 10 1) Lucile Randon 118:267 2) Maria Branyas Morera 115:246 3) Fusa Tatsumi 115:195 4) Bessie Hendricks 114:363 5) Eddie Ceccarelli 114:273 6) Kahoru Furuya 114:261 7) Tomiko Itooka 114:167 8) Inah Canabarro Lucas 114:150 9) Hazel Plummer 114:139  10) Kimiko Ono 114:139

Lucile Randon is now 1 year older than Nabi Tajima.

70 days without Top 10 deaths.

Fusa Tatsumi reached the age of 115.5.

Lucile Randon has been France's Oldest Living Person for 5 years (since 19/10/2017). Previous OLP was Honorine Rondello (died at the age of 114 years and 83 days).

It turns out that Yasue Okai is still alive after being for 1.5+ year in limbo. She is validated by the GRG at the age of 113 years and 327 days.

Hirofumi Yoshimura, governor of Osaka Prefecture, met with Fusa Tatsumi some weeks before. His tweet has 4.3K likes. https://twitter.com/hiroyoshimura/status/1575713316738981893?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1575713316738981893|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=

Dominga Coca Garcia is debunked. She was mistaken for her older sister (1908-1909), also called Dominga. The living Dominga was most likely born around 1917.

Mrs L.P. of Austria turns 114 today.

Perez Mora surpassed Fred Frazier's final age of 113 years, 138 days and is therefore the 14th oldest validated man ever.

Tomiko Itooka (b. 23 May 1908) Inah Canabarro Lucas (b. 8 June 1908) Hazel Plummer (b. 19 June 1908) Kimiko Ono (b. 20 June 1908) While 1908 seems to be generally weak, it has 4 living people aged 114.3/114.4, born in less than a month.

South American men have been really strong lately.

Actually two French from the same area of South France. The distance between Arles and Ales is 70 km.

There is a confirmation that Juliette Bildé turned 113. https://centenaires-francais.forumactif.org/t176-a-preuves-de-vie-et-commentaires-supercentenaires She was born 30 September 1909 and she is the vice-doyenne of France. She is in good health and a violinist played for her birthday,

Ethel Caterham is 113:043 and Rose Eaton is 113:041. They are the oldest living persons in UK since 2018 (Olive Boar) and quite nice. I wonder if at least one of them could achieve reaching 114. UK has slightly underperformed during the last years in extreme longevity.

There was an indirect hint that it is Yasue Okai (born 25 November 1908, in limbo since February 2021).

New photo of Juan Vicente Perez Mora.

I think that she looks better than Kane Tanaka at the same age. Also she is seemingly having a very slow and small decline which is a good sign.
