Members wounded at handshake event

This is why we can't have nice things ):

 

So now every girl you are about to shake hands in future AKB events probably thinks "that one might stab me" because it has happened. Some may hide that better than others, but it would be always back in her minds. It may affect overall HS atmosphere. Or even more AKB main selling point "girls you can meet".

 

i'm AKB48 fans from Indonesia, and i'm not Ricchan oshi
but i'm very sad and shocked know that accident

 

Annin has laceration on her head and has to undergo surgery... Yuasa explained it all on TV

Was Ricchan stabbed in the head or the wrist? I can't believe this happened before I go to Japan next year. If they are going to continue the handshake events, they should just buy one place for it like the AKB theater. Let the fans travel. That way they can implement a much better security.

What the hell. I thought it was just the wrist for both of them and their lives wasn't in danger? Annin is currently under operation? Oh god. Please be safe... I hope the situation doesn't get worse.

More information about the attack and the injuries. Those rumours discussed before seems to be true. Suspected of the attack is 24 year old unemployed Satoru Umeda, who managed to bring about 50 cm long saw to the event.

it's pretty hard to watch these vids. considering that you're hearing some witness accounts of what was happening at the time. plus, the added footage of Annin and Ricchan.

 

I'm so sad and disturbed, I can't even...
The "good news" is just a confirmation that they're alive, nothing more.

 

Apparently all members seemed to have stopped using social networking sites -- including G+ .

 

^ I think basically they are not allowed to comment anything regarding the incident, yet. Even Yuko, who initially commented, has deleted her post.

 

Hope the girls are okay.

Somewhat things will change. Not that handshakes will end, but the scale of it will have to be greatly reduced. Because of it sales will suffer impact, but AKS will have to choose what is better for the girls over profit.

 

I'm curious what is the reason why the villain do that. :3

 

**** him. This only makes it worst for everyone who goes to the events peacefully and with good intentions. The girls will now have this incident in mind and will be weavy, as any human would be.

Any particular reason he attacked Ricchan and Annin? Those two would seem least likely to get attacked. A bit understandable if Sasshi since she been threatened many times before.
