Did he became relevant at some point that his ego bulge up in the wrongest of ways? Cause he was just a remotely "so-so" director and and his obsession with idol animes is just downright creepy.

For some reason people here are kinda missing the point... She should know better than us how some fans are.

If he worded it better he wouldn't be in this mess. Couldn't he have said that in a more sympathetic and inclusive way like: "in this day and age it's important for celebrities to be extra vigilant of their surroundings and how they come off to their fans" instead of singling her out like that?

If you guys are going to continue to frequently post whatever Yamakan posts on his blog could you at least bother to post what he said in full so we can have a conversation about what he actually said and not w/e snippets you think will get people talking.

I'd like to see him "fighting" against a crazed fan with a knife. Bet he'd just crap his pants.

It would've been better if worded that way, also idols need self defense classes badly. |

Or, how about this "this industry needs to stop cultivating and encouraging obsessive-possessive-entitled fan behavior because that aspect of fandom culture is what leads people to think they have the right to stab a woman halfway to death for returning a [expletive] gift" No, she shouldn't have known better. We don't even know what the gift was, it could've been something inappropriate or offensive. We don't know if she returned it personally or if her manager did it. And she has no obligation of keeping a gift from a person she doesn't know. Her amount of "blame" in this situation is precisely zero. Saying she should've known better or "celebrities should be extra vigilant" is like saying "women should be careful about wearing short skirts, the should know how men are" |

Not that it's really his (or my) place to comment, but the whole thing does seem like a major failure of her management team that she was meeting a fan unsupervised in such a way. Heck, you wouldn't expect gifts to reach the talent without being vetted first, precisely to avoid them receiving inappropriate gifts & the like. In a way it reminds me of that weird episode of AKB0048 where the moral of the story is that a fan sending death threats just shows how passionate he is about the band & they should be grateful to have such fans.
edit: That said, his phrasing, if translated correctly, does read like he's saying "I'd be alright coz I'm well 'ard but if she weren't looking for a fight she shouldn't have sent his gift back" Which now I think about it why didn't they just dispose of it like you'd expect people to do when sent things they don't want from random strangers?

Highly unlikely. While Milo does constantly say offensive things, he's not stupid and, from what I know, has never resorted to victim blaming. Like him or not, he's quite eloquent. Yakaman just put both feet in his mouth, intentional or not. Alos, Lemonchest, she wasn't meeting this fan, he stalked her and showed up out of the blue. |

Hey, I'm not actually promoting his logic, I'm just saying what he could have done to come off as less of an ass. My comment on being extra vigilant still stands though. While I don't think she should be blamed for being attacked, it's still important to acknowledge the fact that celebrities face a high risk of being assaulted. Just because you think the system is flawed isn't going to change the fact that these assaults are going to keep happening, and idols need to be better prepared for that if they can, for example not going out unaccompanied or learning self-defense techniques. |

What on earth are you talking about??? The guy stalked her, found out where she lived and what train station she used and then approached her while she was using the train. She DID NOT meet up with him! He STALKED her!!! |

The last part of Yamakan's quote gives the impression that he's callous towards an idol's well-being. That's never a good characteristic to show in a case like this.

Can someone inform him just how quickly he can bend over and go **** himself?
