Yes, so have live appearances concerts cm etc been postponed. Yuko even deleted her post on the incident. It's a way to show consideration to those involved. Things will resume probably after they are out of hospital.

Latest update is they have to wear a cast and the head injury isn't a deep wound. Both girls are just fine. The future of the handshake event will be address during the elections.

The suspect apparently wanted to kill at a place many would gather, which is really unfortunate if the venue was randomly chosen. Still waiting for more news to come.

Ha! As long as the events are profitable and / or in great demand by the core fan base which makes up an overwhelming part of their profit, I doubt a relatively heightened security issue will stop them. At most they will simply beef up security.

Handshake events, as you call them, is how Japs have been calling celebrity meet-and-greets for the last 30 years or so. It's the same thing as the west, with the difference being that the tickets don't cost up to 300 dollars.
Yeah, you're a crossie for sure.

Well, first off you fail to see the motivations behind these acts.

The Kuroko Basket dead threats and this clumsy slasher are just examples of attention-seeking psychos just looking for a popular target to broadcast their actions. By his own admissions, this guy was just looking for a large gathering of people where to attack, it doesn't matter who or where. He went lost from home for a day during which he didn't reply to his family's telephone calls, and this event was just the closest thing he saw.

As far as I know the Akihabara attack in 2008 was just some regular guy driving a rented truck around Tokyo and stopped at a crowded avenue. It could've happened at any other district and the incident wouldn't have been as infamous as it is today.

No idea what this Neptune event even is.
