It's a good thing that this didn't happen in the USA because then people might be arguing our free speech laws. While I am a big fan of the 1st Amendment, I sometimes think there should be some tougher restrictions on it.


Na, threatening someone, even online is a criminal offense. And you can't claim First Amendment rights since websites (like Facebook) are considered private property, not public.

Anyhow, glad the guy was caught. It's a shame this is still going on in Japan. Thankfully, it didn't turn into another knife-incident. It just makes it harder for the fans to out and have fun.

She's still (technically) scheduled for her respective first solo appearances at Lisani Live 2017 (Jan 28th) and Anime Kohaku Utagassen (Feb 5th). Hopefully she can make it there.

Yeah, it is a shame that someone didn't bother reading this article properly and just concluded that this shit probably were caused by some Japanese, again, even though that it occurred due to some dumbass from Taiwan.

I've gotta say this. What a JERK!!!!!!!!!!! This Inori Minase has to cancel all of her events and appearances because of a pinhead on line. I'm glad they caught that loser. Although the guy did have some disabilities,that's still no excuse to do what he did. I hope he goes to jail or gets some counseling or whatever. This idiot had to scare the living daylights out of her and her fans and for what? Because he had to do a joke that wasn't very funny. To me,this clown has a pretty sick sense of humor. I don't think anybody thought what he did was funny,least of all,Ms. Minase.
