The suspect reportedly confessed that he intended to kill the man. However, according to investigators, he may have intended to target a different person whom he had a long grudge against, but mistakenly attacked the victim.
The festival staff announced on September 22 that in light of the incident and the police investigation, its second day had been canceled. The festival will offer refunds.
This year's Nagano Aniera Festa was scheduled for September 21-22.
