Female idol stabbed multiple times by purported fan at event in western Tokyo: police

A young female idol is in critical condition after she was repeatedly stabbed by an apparent fan in the city of Koganei, Tokyo, police said.

Mayu Tomita, 20, has yet to regain consciousness after suffering nearly two dozen stab wounds to her neck and chest.

Police arrested Tomohiro Iwazaki, 27, after he was seen assaulting Tomita with a knife at an event held in a building in the city at around 5 p.m. on Saturday. The suspect was reported to be a fan of hers and has admitted attacking her, according to police.

Tomita may have been a victim of stalking. The Metropolitan Police Department said the idol had consulted police earlier this month, saying a man named Iwazaki had persistently written to her via her blog and Twitter account.

When police received a call from an eyewitness and rushed to the scene, they found a bloody folding knife. Iwazaki was standing nearby and admitted using the knife to stab her.

Tomita was scheduled to appear at a live performance event later that night. The building is some 300 meters southwest of JR Musashi-Koganei Station and close to Koganei City Hall.

This is getting out of hand, just last year members of AKB48 were attacked with a saw.

The idol industry is increasingly focused on separating the most damaged and mentally ill otaku from their money in a predatory manner, and this is the consequence!

That many stab wounds is actually not that uncommon. Its fucked up.

"I ambushed her at the station and asked her (about the gift). I lost my temper because she didn't clearly answer," Iwazaki was quoted as saying. Police plan to re-arrest him on charges of attempted murder, the sources said.

Because that's standard practice for idols.

This whole industry is about getting otaku obsessed about a big lie. It's only natural some of those obsessed people start to do weird things when reality doesn't correspond to the lie they're obsessed with, and that weird behavior is not just limited to buying a hundred copies of the same CD.

Samefag but that's not to say that the idol industry isn't fucked up or does stupid shit to perpetuate itself. Just that Americans/westerners really love shitting on Japanese (and East Asians in general) as a weird "other" group either in the "lol they so wacky and fucked up" sense of most people or in the "they're too patriarchal and racist DISMANTLE THE SYSTEM #WELCOMEREFUGEES" sense the progressives and globalists would take it.

>>15276114
It's a weird phenomenon for sure, but while the result is negative I think the cause of it is generally positive. We (white people, the West) genuinely hold the Japanese to our standards as equals and that's something surprisingly rare in this world.
If something bad happens elsewhere it gets a shoulder shrug and "can't be helped", but we expect better from the Japanese. It's a very distinct "honor".

>Did someone link this on /tv/?
I've seen that sentiment expressed already (the "JAPAN'S JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SO FUCKED IT SUCKS FOR HIM" one) on places like Reddit.

Really the thing is it's not like this is exclusive to Japan. Shit like this (right down to morality clauses and the like) exist with teen pop stars here in America as well. It's maybe more amplified in Japan though and I'd say the only time where I really saw what happened and went "yeah, that's really fucked" was Ai Kago having her career destroyed for smoking underage. Of course, seeing as how she then went on to sleep with a married man and date a yakuza thug maybe she was already kind of trashy anyway.

There's nothing about her job that says "idol", that's whst I'm saying.
http://news.tbs.co.jp/sp/newseye/tbs_newseye2779406.html
Like this report says, in reality she currently works as a singer-songwriter playing guitar at music clubs and live halls. The event she was scheduled to appear was just a regular live music event taking place in a pub bar.


https://youtu.be/b8g7DCYdi_s
Also, regarding the attacker's motivations, there apparently was a resentment about a costly wristwatch that he forwarded her as a present and which she apparently rejected, refused to wear or something else. He took her gesture as a snubbing offense, asked her to return it back, then felt insulted at the fact she didn't even deign to put her own name as sender on the package and things escalated accordingly through written harassments on Twitter. Sad indeed, but cyberstalking is a global thing and it has shit to do with /jp/.

Now that I've made clear that this shit has nothing to do with otaku rap, fuck off from this place.

Already pointed out before.
Look up シークレットガールズ, it was basically a pretend group that was made for a web series for little girls that she acted in and lasted for one year until the first season was over. What do you know about her current job, given that you didn't even know about her name until this incident?

>>15277417
The hyenas at news media literally marketing her as an "idol", but all I get is a singer-songstress with a failed child acting career and amazing achievements like " appeared for five seconds on Kamen Rider Fourze". Makes as much sense as calling her a "tokusatsu heroine".

Not much other than that she's an aspiring artist. I suppose I don't even know what distinguishes idols beyond being signed to an idol agency so any further input I might have is pointless.

Did you know of her before?
>>
>>15277474
Pretty much this. If you say a regular college student who occasionally played acoustic shows at tiny clubs got stabbed by a stalker it's just a small blurb in the news. But if you call her an idol it's international news that makes the front page of reddit. Then actual idol groups beef up security or cancel events to make it look like they're doing something about it, the average person can go on thinking it's only idol otaku who would do something crazy like this even though this guy wasn't an otaku in any sense of the word (just check his twitter), the media are happy that they got lots of clicks, and there's no pressure to do anything about the the fact that police just ignore people being stalked by psychos.

Not to go full tumblr, but the entire industry has focused on blaming the women for this. I agree that if you're dumb enough to sign onto a contract that includes bullshit like "no boyfriends, no sex, no no no" then you have to own up to the fact that you signed such a thing. However, the fact that such a stipulation even exists says enough about the people they are trying to extract money from. The idol industry isn't young. They know what they're doing.

That said, I'm pissed because police shrugged off the complaint and now this is going to be so glossed over. Security measures will be tightened for more events at best.

Why do you keep talking like she is an idol, when she is actually an indie songstress who was on her way to the pub/music hall when she got stabbed?
What "security measures" will be tightened, considering that the cost of hiring guards and bouncers falls on the bar owners hosting the events and the only reason they rent their halls to singers is just to make some extra money from customers? If these pub halls will be forced to shoulder more security costs for every minor indie singer the call, they would lose more money than they make, which is defeats the purpose.
No, what will happen is that live houses and music clubs will be inviting less and less of those singers and spend more resurces on those who can pay for their own safety.

>>15278182
She should have studied aikido.

Aikido uses the strength of the attacker back at them but 10 times stronger(estimate). Using Aikido I can probably kill a charging Rhino using it's force right back at it, of course, I'm not going to try it, way to dangerous for any sane person.
I recommend practicing Aikido for every /jp/edo as you are all physically weak, and Aikido is specialized for the weak to defend against the strong.
Aikido does not deflect attacks. It reverses them, and furthermore: Add more force. A reversed 9mm bullet is more like a fucking cannonball made of burning suns of rage. It could easily tear through a tank.
That is the power of Aikido.

People (Plebbitors and other undesirables) are too busy bashing invisible otakus thinking she was an idol (whereas she was actually an independent singer-songwriter that played the guitar at music halls). Meanwhile everyone's forgetting that the criminal's face is the most stereotypical chon face you can get. Also the fact that the police didn't get their fucking job done after months of pleas from the girl to investigate on Twitter harassment and cyberstalking, proof that they were slacking on the investigations on purpose to cover up for a certain ethnic minority.
Sorry, but between "otaku murder" and "zainichi murder", the one more statistically likely is the latter.

That's not a very good example tbqh.

Now that's pretty scary.
But honestly, I don't think that these messages are outlandish on the grounds that they probably do receive even worse stuff on a daily basis, but can anyone do anything about it? I don't know. Maybe this time it seems scarier because you know how that ended up, but only reading some of the replies to the girl's last tweet you can see how many people are rejoicing and wishing for her death. Is it worth it to pursue everyone that does that online? I think that after this case if she dies, a few otaku will get prosecuted based on their tweets to appease the media, then it's buisiness as usual.
>>
>>15279591
There are no direct threats on her safety, no? Those should always be taken seriously. I can understand how difficult it is from the authorities perspective when someone comes to them saying "someone is bothering me on the internet". But if the social media realm is not recognized at all in the anti-stalking laws, they should be updated.

Here's a bit more about this

>Sorry, but between "otaku murder" and "zainichi murder", the one more statistically likely is the latter.
Yeah, the JP media's long had a habit of wanting to demonize otaku from what I know going back to that dude with the fucked up hands who was killing little girls since otaku are "different" there's basically no harm in it. Same way everything else is blamed on zainichi and foreigners except it's legit in those two.

from reddit:

>Since I assume many here are unfamiliar with the Japanese "Idol" industry:

>1. Most are under contract to not date or have public relations with men.
>2. Some have had their entire careers ruined over the fact that they are dating becoming public knowledge.
>3. Some "Idols" also work in the anime industry as voice actresses. Several voice actresses have had to wait until after they have gotten married and had children to publicly announce that they are married due to their "fans" feeling that they can't possibly voice "pure" characters anymore. So for example, Voice Actress A gets married in secret, has a kid or two, and months or years afterwards can finally come out and publicly announce their marriage.

>The "Idol" industry in Japan basically exists to give millions of Japanese youth and men a pretend girlfriend. In many ways it is no different than how pop stars are packaged and sold in the West. The Western industry even has similar morality clauses in their contracts (Disney being the most well known one who does this). And the "Idols" certainly are compensated well. And it can even be argued that by taking these jobs, they themselves contribute to this sort of social climate by promoting the fantasy, industry, and beliefs of the fans.

>There are lots of factors involved with why it's such a booming industry: pressure to succeed in school and work leaves people with little time to interact and date with others, high suicide rates, and a culture of social conformity means that "Idols" are often an elicit escape from the pressures of daily life and an affirmation of one's individuality by being able to express a "relationship."

>It's a very sad situation overall that leads to tragedies such as this, and I hope people can understand that it's a society and culture that unfortunately reinforces the attitudes held by ones such as the perpetrator of the violent act.

I like how just reading the word "idol" on an headline triggers someone to write those pointess whiny wall of texts. How does all of this apply to a freelance singer/guitar player who made a living off pub performances?

Meanwhile, the Japanese police had been receiving distress alerts from Tomita and her mother about a man stalking her since January and they didn't even send a patrol car to investigate ffs.

>The man that was arrested in the Koganei Live House attempted murder case was reported on media as "self-called Iwazaki, suspect". "Self-called" means that this is not his actual name. Why don't they report his real name? That's what is weird about Japanese media. There's no need to be afraid. Report him by his real name. That's my guess, but the suspect does not have Japanese nationality
Tsuneyasu Takeda, Law school graduate

By the way, it's real, putting 自称 in front of the suspect's name is weird and it's not like Japanese media doesn't use by-names to conceal zainichi.

Because JE is a male talent agency? Kitakawa is a closet homosexual that had gay relationships with the boys he managed, it had been rumored since the 1960s and he also faced a court case about it during the same (or the following, can't remember now) decade, mainly because at the time sodomy was illegal. Many ex-members told about that in their biographies since the 80s, also.

What constitutes an "idol"? If you mean just having "fans", then everyone with a fanclub somewhere is an "idol".

She wasn't an "idol", she was an indie musician who toured through live halls and small clubs while doing guitar performances. In fact, she was assaulted right outside one of these same music clubs. Formerly she also worked as a drama actress with a few minor roles and had a few theater plays in recent years. Just read the work schedule on her blog, that's all it matters.

For that matter, even pop critics are starting to point out about the mistakes in early news:

Want to know how bad the police was at handling this case?
Three years ago Iwazaki had been bothering other tarentos on their blogs with threats of murder. At the time he already received a warning for that, but his name didn't get recorded in the national database of offenders, so he appeared as "clean" to the police when he began stalking his newest victim.
Since January, he had been stalking Tomita at every music club event she performed, asking for her phone number and shit. The staff of these music clubs already knew of Iwazaki's face and behavior, but did nothing to chase him away. They just tried to "distance themselves".
Both Tomita and her mother had been urging police to restrain the man during the whole last month, but police refused to investigate over just tweets because first they had to confirm it was really him. When he started sending plain death threaths, they still didn't deem it a cause of concern.
On the day of the incident, Tomita asked for patrol cars to check the surroundings of the music club, but police didn't forward the request to the city's police station.
And lastly, she was just told to " give police a call if Iwazaki showed up again", but when she called, the police didn't even pay attention to her GPS location and just sent a police car to her house address, not the music club.
>>
>>15302390
If that is true it's crazy.

You make pretty big claims though without sources.

>>15302416

It's been all over the news for days, you don't have to search too deep.

These are about Iwazaki's previous harassments and how they forgot to register them:

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20160527/k10010537641000.html

This one is about staff just distancing themselves and doing nothing:
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20160525/k10010534651000.html

This is about police ignoring all the requests of investigation from Tomita throughout last month, or just neglecting to forward them:
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20160523/k10010531911000.html

This is about the police cars getting to Tomita's house because they failed to track her smartphone position:

The crimes, especially murders, still get reported. It's most of the unsolved crimes that are either due to police incompetence of investigators refusing to pursue a case. It's because they fear that having an unresolvable open case on their resume will hurt their standing.
A case similar to this one occured many years ago, just read this shit:
