An enraged AKB48 fan is attempting to sue the maniac behind the saw rampage which has led to the next handshaking event being cancelled, demanding the cost of the 330 CDs he bought along with payment for the emotional distress of the cancellation.
This being Japan, the amounts involved in the proposed litigation are miserly – 346,440 yen for the 330 CDs he apparently now has no use for but to listen to, and a further 250,000 yen to compensate him for the trauma of not being able to shake his favourite idol’s hand.
AKB48 still provokes fierce passions online, not least when handshaking events are somehow involved:
“Blame the buyer!”
“At least sue the organisers as well.”
“They are the ones who held an event with a total lack of security.”
“He just proved CDs have no value at all to these fans…”
“The handshaking event tickets are supposed to be an extra.”
“Disrupt an event and you have to pay for all the CDs the attendees bought to be there.”
“AKB otaku are just insane.”
“Anyone who buys 330 copies like that is nuts.”
“AKB48’s marketing tactics surely can’t withstand this amount of public scrutiny now it is all out in the open.”
“I somehow doubt this will survive in court. Anyone can argue he has the CDs and it was the management who were negligent in their event handling.”
“These guys are about as crazed as the sawer really.”
“All we can really conclude from all this is that without those tickets the CDs will never sell at all.”
“He still has the CDs to enjoy so I don’t see the problem!”

hahahh
Back to the trees boogies.
Ship them all back.
And that's exactly what the judge & the defense lawyer will say.
And here I thought Japanese didn't use sarcasm.
Do you know nothing at all about how the japs talk?
*Everything* is sarcasm.
it is, my understanding is that the "japs" don't even understand sarcasm as we use it.
I thought that was the English.
I always got the impression that all nationalities except Americans were able to grasp sarcasm.
Understanding sarcasm requires the ability to read into or between the spoken/written words, which is something that easily gets lost in translations.
I can say with relative certainty that sarcasm exists in every language spoken on Earth, since people are basically the same everywhere and sarcastic bastards flourish.
Brit here. I see sarcastic humour in both Japanese and American comedies all the time. It's certainly a concept both cultures understand. The things people are sarcastic about differ though.
For example, I once heard a story about a bloke working in Japan who, during a heavy rainstorm, said to one of his colleagues "Lovely weather we're having, eh?", to which he got the completely straightfaced reply "Oh, I don't really like the rain.". The idea that someone would be sarcastic about the weather was alien to that Japanese man.
Funny that people making these claims about sarcasm and japan when their animes, mangas, games, etc have sarcastic characters.
tons of articles on the internet about how the japanese don't use or understand sarcasm as others do, an easy google search will tell you that.
Sarcasm seems to be a purely English concept. It does not exist in Japan, nor is it understood.
Fortunately, it exists in English making a language with bizarre spelling and grammar that much harder to understand.
You are idiots, Japanese understand sarcasm as any other one in the civilized world.
People are people, doesn't matter the era or the nationality.
There are some small variants making certain traits more common or more rare but the base is the same.
He was being sarcastic.
That's right goy, none of that matters.
Back to the trees boogies.
He's dumber than a nig.
Just a daily reminder to sankaku readers that the Jews are responsible for all the world's wars
You nazi nuts should be put on a government watch list and legally barred from going into any town with a temple or a synagogue.
yeah! slice up the jews and stuff them back in auschwiz!
He's hired Phoenix Wright for the case "Objection!!!"
shouldn't it be Miles Edgeworth instead? he's pursuing a case, not defending.
No, it's "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law!"
Sometimes I really have to wonder what these people are like. They just dont seem real to me.
That's why these events are so popular, everyone what to know what they are like and if they are real.
AKB should be banned, its members confined to a buddhist monastery forever.
AKB otaku should be rounded up and shot without mercy.
At least he has his priorities in order.
“He still has the CDs to enjoy so I don’t see the problem!”
+1
I think it's all ready been well established japanese otaku are pathetic and stupid to a scary level....he really didn't need to to this to show us that again.
Yea, he wont get fuck all, japs hate otaku.
Hahahaha come on! A sue for Handshaking cancellation? Its really so stupid... wait... Idol fan of AKB48. Forget it, now I see why he-she is so stupid.
Some of this fans live in a fantasy world: "This "virgin" idols live just for me". "I can sue agencies because they cancell HS events" See? The same logic. Hahaha

HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHEUHUEHEUHEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHEUHUEHEUHEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHEUHUEHEUHE BRBR
I was under the impression that Americans had weird lawcases. Well, I learn new things everyday.
At least i NEVER buy those CD's or attend any "Handshake" event, because i can spend my money for better purpose than for "handshaking" with someone who doesn't give a Sh*t about me.
He can't sue the company. The yakuza will go after him.
I would saw that guy if I were him.
u should saw your dick
Don't have one.
awww poor scottie
¥346440, or $3400US, to shake someone's hand? For that much money, he could have gotten... well, a lot more than a hand-shake!
Dumbass spent 3400$ on cd's and is trying to sue the sawer 2450$ for emotional distress...
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
"demanding the cost of the 330 CDs he bought along with payment for the emotional distress of the cancellation."
He wants refund for 330 CSs AND money for his emotional distress.
CDs* Sry for my typo. it's CDs not CSs
Pretty savvy.
Do you need more than one ticket to attend the event? Or is it lucky draw, so better chances with more ticket?
That's what I was wondering.
I have no idea, But I was thinking 1 ticket = 1 handshake or something. "Maybe he wanted over 300 hand shakes" was my guess.
same here, someone please explain
These prostitutes & their pimps are literally sucking the future out of their crazy stalkers. And if it were any other industry, their pyramid scheme would have ended in arrests years ago.
