Very strange place to announce it, considering that Wikipedia records your IP address...

Isn't the past tense of "cast" also "cast"?

Bah, if they knew anything about Wikipedia they'd know about the pile of vandals and trolls. It's 90% guaranteed to be just a random troll sitting at home with nothing better to do than write fake death threats they couldn't possibly carry out and disrupt a community run encyclopedia.

Prank or not, this is a serious issue. I hope they catch the culprit and have them serve hard time.

Are hand grenades that easy to get ahold of - namely in Japan? Shocked

Seriously, I would probably cancel the concert, and offer to reschedule it at a later date or something. It's not worth risking lives over. But I do hope they catch the person for making that threat. Seriously, what is their issue with a *concert*?!

I doubt that someone who's actually planning something like that would post it beforehand and have the security increased, reducing the chances of escape drastically. On the other hand, if it was someone willing to die during the bombing he would definitely use another type of bomb.
So...

Sounds too much like a hoax to be believable.

This is serious guys even if it is a threat. Any threat, even if joking, is serious.
