Chapter 745: Aftermath

Although Zhu Zi is murderous, it is obvious that the operation is more interested in profits, after all, this is a very large income.

Regarding the performance of the operation, Zhu Yi felt helpless and a little emotional at the same time. In the end, I am not the same person as them.

Of course, the impact of this on all of us is huge

This incident has put the concept of "idols to meet" when AKB48 was founded, and it has been commented that AKB48 operators will need to strengthen security measures in the future. On the night of the incident, the high-fives of AKB48 sister group NMB48 after their performance at the NMB48 Theater in Osaka were also affected and cancelled, and similarly, the HKT48 Theater in Hakata, Fukuoka City, and the SKE48 Theater in Sakae, Nagoya, also announced the cancellation of all high-fives sessions from May 26 after the incident, and the handshake held by the sister group SKE48 at the Nagoya City International Exhibition Center on the same day was also cut in half. On the other hand, "NMB48 feat. Yoshimoto New Comedy Vol.9", which was originally scheduled to be performed at Namba Luxury Kagetsu the day after the incident, was also postponed due to the incident. At the same time, AKB48 announced that the performance would be terminated and closed the day after the incident, and then announced that the performance would be closed until May 31, and the performance would resume on June 2.

However, SKE48, NMB48 and HKT48 performances were held as scheduled, with the NMB48 theater taking the lead in setting up metal detectors, and before the performance began, member Ayaka Umeda broadcast to the audience expressing her hope that the two would recover as soon as possible, which was the first time since the incident that a member of the 48 group spoke to supporters in a formal setting. In addition, the front row was deliberately vacated, and metal detectors were added to other theaters, the front row was vacated, and additional security guards were stationed.

Due to the incident, an episode of the mobile phone drama starring Iriyama and broadcast on NOTTV was changed to a part starring Tan Mi on the night of the broadcast, and the public live broadcast of the same open format program "Who Are You at AKB48?" was cancelled on May 26 and did not resume until July 14, but the quota was reduced from the previous 50 to 30 people, and the entrance was also subject to metal detector inspection. Scheduled to be broadcast on May 27, AKB48's new commercial for Asahi Beverage Canned Coffee ONDA was also postponed for a while, but it has since been broadcast as scheduled. Similarly, the advertisement for the online education UCAN in which Chuan Rong performed was temporarily suspended, but it was later broadcast as scheduled after various discussions, and in the variety show "Viking" broadcast live on May 28, Chuan Ei, who was supposed to appear in the studio, appeared in the form of a telephone connection, and the TV series "Sailor Suit Zombie" starring him was also postponed.

The NMB48 single "Ibiza Girls", which was originally scheduled to be released in June, was re-released as an online download after the incident, and was re-released on CD in August as part of the album "The Center of the World is Osaka~Namba Autonomous Region~". Ryoka Oshima, who was in the same column as the two injured members, was even affected by the incident, becoming afraid of contact with people and having difficulty even going out, while another member of the same column, Aki Takashiro, said that there was a reappearance of the situation, and Asuka Kuramochi also had the same phenomenon, and became afraid of being in a crowded place.

After the incident, members Yuria Kisaki, Mako Kojima, Moe Aigasa, Rina Izuda, Mion Mukai and Yuka Tano attended the first event of AKB48, and the security was significantly tightened and the atmosphere became tense. In addition, AKB48 also solicited views from supporters to explore the feasibility of holding other exchange activities.

After the incident spread on the Internet, Titter was full of avatars and photos that had nothing to do with the incident, but were mistakenly accused of being the murderer, and some people even pretended to be the father of the murderer, and some people pretended to be Iriyama to speak and were incorrectly quoted by "Sankei Sports", "Sports News" and "Alarm Clock TV", and then AKB48 officials also clarified that producer Yasushi Akimoto and AKS president Yasushi Watada did not have Titter and Facebook accounts, reminding the media not to be deceived.

Security measures were also tightened during auditions for the films "The Magnum Appraiser Q" starring Haruka Ayase and Momori Matsuzaka and "The End of Pompeii" starring Milla Jovovich at auditions held in Shiodome and Roppongi, Tokyo, respectively, and the number of security guards doubled at the premiere of the film "X-Men: Days of Future Past" voiced by Ayaya Rigue.

Kansai TV also said it would review how to ensure the safety of the event in the future. In addition, after the incident, a student at the University of Tsukuba in Ibaraki Prefecture was arrested by the police shortly after he posted a notice of the murder online.

Many Japanese idol groups have been affected by the incident and have cancelled their activities to contact their supporters or strengthened security measures. The girl group Happiness even canceled the single sale, and another girl group Idoling!! It was originally scheduled to be the 28th of the same month to send additional security personnel to the commemorative handshake for the release of the new song, but the handshake was finally canceled due to the intervention of the police, and the good morning family of the same industry also expressed their anger at the incident, but the event will be held as scheduled, and said that security measures will be strengthened, and the handshake party held by its Berryz Kobo in Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, has also strengthened its vigilance.

The girl groups SUPER☆GiRLS, Cheeky Parade and GEM of iDOL Street, a company owned by Ibex, cancelled their events scheduled for May 31 and June 1, while the girl group Ebisu High School and the boy group DISH// The ultra-limited express of Watong also canceled activities to reach out to supporters, Johnnie also canceled events scheduled for Yuma Nakayama in Sendai City and Hiroshima in Miyagi Prefecture, and anime singer Suzuki Nomi also canceled handshake sessions in Nihonbashi, Namba and Nagoya in Osaka.

The girl group 9nine also canceled the autograph session and Nagoya high-five session scheduled for Sapporo, Hokkaido, while the performance in Nagoya was held as usual, the high-five meeting of the boy group D-BOYS in Shinjuku, Tokyo, also strengthened security and asked participants to remove their hand ornaments, and the girl group Momoiro Clover Z, which had not been held many times, also introduced a facial recognition system at the concert at Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa Prefecture, and the six-member girl group Fairies held an event in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, where each member was protected by a security guard。

The most ironic thing is that although the group °C-ute of the Good Morning family did not cancel the handshake party, because the participants were forbidden to wear hats, some fans with bald heads or broad foreheads threatened to stop supporting it.

In the aftermath of the incident, Alarm Clock TV's comments on Titter were criticized by a large number of AKB48 supporters for being too flippant in tone, and eventually a public apology.

In addition, the Japanese men's national soccer team was also escorted by about 40 security guards and police officers when it departed for training at Narita International Airport in Chiba Prefecture, while the baseball team ORIX Bison terminated the autograph session of its cheerleading team
