| I was so saddened to hear that the Japanese idol Mayu Tomita, formerly a member of AKB48, was repeatedly stabbed by an obsessive fan (who shall not be named in this thread to focus attention only on Mayu) on Saturday in Koganei in western Tokyo, leaving her in critical condition. The person who stabbed her was angry that Mayu had returned a gift they sent her. They confronted her at the train station as she was heading to an event in Koganei and when they did not get a clear explanation from Mayu about the reason behind the returning of the gift, proceeded to stab her in the neck and chest nearly two dozen times with a pocketknife. When police arrived on the scene, the suspect confessed to the stabbing and police arrested him on attempted murder charges. The week prior, Mayu had notified police about the suspect because he had been harassing her online and making obsessive comments about her on Twitter. Mayu has not yet regained consciousness and remains in critical condition in the hospital. Arama! Japan is reporting that she suffered cardiac arrest as a result of the attack and that there are reports she is currently in a coma (note: I didn't find claims like these on the other websites I visited, so please do not automatically assume this is true). This is such a tragic incident and I am sincerely hoping for Mayu's recovery. She is only 20 years old, and a college student; it's heartbreaking that there is a very real chance of her dying from this senseless act of violence. Please keep her in your thoughts!

| After that attempt on AKB two or three years back, it's sad to see this happening. Japanese wota have done some crazy stuff. (and I've heard of crazier stuff happening to some idols) But this takes things way too far. Praying for a speedy recovery. |

| Wow..sometimes there really are no words. What is wrong with some of these alleged "fans"? This kind of behavior is completely barbaric. I really, really hope she is able to pull through. |

| It seems like the Japanese are now copying our bad trends as well as our good ones . This news is extremely saddening; Mayu Tomita still had a full life ahead of her when this happened. I do so hope that she can recover from this and live that remainder of her life doing what she enjoys. |

| I'm not familiar with this idol or very much with the group, but it is always tragic when acts of violence like this happen. I hope that she recovers swiftly and completely. ♥ |

| The attack was so far out there and extreme that it made it to the front page of MSN.com. We now know just how many times she was stabbed, and it's not appropriate for a PG-13 forum.
Let's just say that while I hope she makes a swift recovery, the chances seem to be getting slimmer and slimmer with each new revelation reveled about the attack.
Also, I stand firm on my belief that I think the person in charge of the attack should be kept of the streets for the rest of his life. Anybody who can do this much harm to another person is too dangerous to be living in society. |
