In the wake of two AKB48 girls being viciously sawed at one of their own handshaking events, police have told the group’s management they must improve security – starting by putting a stop to their infamous handshaking events, widely believed to be the only thing keeping the group on top of the charts…
Akihabara police (in whose jurisdiction lies both AKB48’s original venue and the company who manages the group) have demanded they take immediate steps to improve security.
In addition to the pathetically rudimentary measure of actually searching attendees for concealed saws, police want the events to increase the distance between the stage and seating so as to avoid any wayward otaku getting onto the stage.
Most notably they want handshaking and “high-touches” banned at AKB48 events throughout the country.
AKB’s management have so far said they will “consider” implementing the police security measures – though for once even the online masses seem to agree with the police:
“About time!”
“I can’t believe the girls are keen to do it as it stands now.”
“Somebody tried to cut their arms off, banning these events is reasonable. Put a stop to this prostitution marketing.”
“AKB are finished now.”
“Amazing – the powers that be are actually acting to crush AKB’s evil marketing shenanigans! Stick at it!”
“Paying money for tickets to touch girls should fall under prostitution laws anyway.”
“I don’t think they can rid of it that easily.”
“Don’t just cancel it, ban it!”
“Cancel the general election too! It would be scandalous to allow it in the wake of something like this.”
“AKB are worthless with no handshaking events. They’d be lucky to sell 200,000 copies for a single which sells 1.4 million now.”
“God I can’t wait to see how their CD sales do with no handshaking event tickets in them…”

One lunatic had to ruin it for all the AKB maniacs lol
Lunatic? I say Nay! He is their saviour! Free them from their money milking addiction!
They're all lunatics...
Lunatics that drives an economy, apparently.
A useless one that shouldn't exist.
They even managed to ruin anime. It's 80% moe and idol shit now. Barely any good stories come around anymore.
*One hero had to end it for all the AKB maniacs.
One Lunatic put fear into the public, making creepy obsessive fans look like a danger to society.
Though it's important to note the lunatic wasn't a fan apparently. His room was checked and this was the first cd he bought of them.
I'm surprised nobody was suspicious of a man with a chainsaw in a hand shaking event.
its a saw, not a chainsaw.
Wasn't it just a normal saw? Easy to hide in a backpack
I think it was the japanese wood saw that can be held like a "sword", the type that gained some infame in School Days for example.
or maybe its a bread knife. you know how media exaggarates sometime
I have a saw meant for wood that no more than a few inches long thats foldable like a pocketknife. like so http://i.imgur.com/63ze208.gif
probably that small saw for plumbing works; the one with curved backbone.
So, that means they should make music from now on?
No, AVs.
They are too old for that. Maybe if they were 11 again.
If they did, Japan would burn... Have you seen what those nutjobs do when there is even a rumor that one of the idols was dating and possibly "second hand goods."
A former AKB member did in fact turn to porn. In Japan it's not unprecedented for established actresses and singers to enter the adult industry.
Thats because they themselves can't do it with them. With porn it's another mater entirely, because those creepy idol otaku can project themselves, or get hard from NTR.
Well maybe these guys can do something more productive or worthwhile with $10,000 than waste it all just to get a handshake.
AKB48 music is better than ni99er rap jungle ape noise.
This is like letting the terrorist win.
This is not the first time it would happen in Japan, it would not be unlike the Kuroko Basket terrorist
Seriousry, is there any footage of the attack yet ? :( SOMEone must have caught it on an phone or something ?
There's no footage of it. The handshakes take place in tents guarded by staff in which only one fan at a time is allowed to enter.
That's also the saw maniac wasn't pounced on by a horde of enraged fans.
And does anyone know what kind of saw? Woodsaw, hacksaw, battery operated powersaw?
Was not expecting a payday 2 video.

"I'm not even mad, that's amazing."
udumb?
The terrorists ALWAYS win ...
I blame Obama
thanks Obama
He's to busy cheating his wife..
Damn I missed my chance to get a handshake from these ladies. All because of one nutjob.
I fingered my niece and rubbed my dick on her clit a few minutes ago when my sister brought her over for Memorial Day.
I need more of your stories to have a wholehearty laugh please!
I need more of your stories to have a wholehearty laugh please!
stop delusioning
Why the hell does this get an up vote? Comedy Gold, that's why.
ಠ_ಠ
They should work this saw incident into the upcoming Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls anime.
quick time events dodging saw attacks during the handshakes and concerts
Think they should rename it into Idolm@ster grimore girls and have them go thorugh many more things then just this saw incident.
Amputee idol, yay!
I hate akb48 but any law passed in haste is always a bad law.
Questionable responses to violent incidents is becoming the defining trait of the entire world in the new century.
Isn't this the norm for just about anything violent and terrible and morally questionable?
that's why we cant have nice things
