Anna Iriyama & Rina Kawaei attacked at HS event

[Ruka Kikuchi]

^^ Erepyon is so caring.

[muppet]

^ indeed, Erena's message was powerful, as it was from the heart.

A wonderful moment to see Rina and Anna being discharged
from the hospital.... Continued wishes for full recovery for the two members and staff
who were injured, as well as the others who were in the tent (fans, staff, members).

[winner]

I just also find it odd that none of the other members have posted anything since the accident. I only recall yuko did mention something on google+ but it was quickly deleted.

Yeah. Management has probably requested all members to not post anything. To let the staff handle it and give official statements first. Hence the blackout of AKB member posts on Ameblo and Google+.

Iwate is one of the prefectures that suffered greatly
because of the triple disaster in 2011.

As a consequence of that , the AKB48 group have traveled to the
Region many times to perform and raise the spirits of the citizens.

Cannot vouch for the accuracy of the folliwing attachment's
contents, but it rings true....

"I am sorry that everyone is worried about me. I am recovering little by little.
I will be on Viking tomorrow via phone, please watch it!"

[SomethingWild]

Anna too!

みなさん、この度はご心配をおかけしました。
わたしは何箇所か骨折と切り傷がありますが、岩手の病院で縫合手術をしてもらい、昨日東京に帰ってきました。
いまは落ち着いた環境にいて、穏やかに過ごしています。毎日笑顔です！
みなさんからのたくさんの応援や励ましの声、とても支えになっています。
早く元気な姿を見せられますように。
待っててね(^o^)☆

"This incident made everyone worried. I have some broken bones and lacerations, but I turned home yesterday after being sewn up.
I am in a comfortable environment and spending my time happily. Your encouraging voices have been my support.
I hope to recover soon so you can see me again. Please wait for me."

[ゲキカラ]

Great to see them and hear they're both on the mend!

[winner]

That's great~ Hope they get well soon.

Something sad has happened.

I’m not sure how I can put it into words…

The three that have been wounded, I pray for a speedy complete recovery.

Of course, other than the three, other members, parents, staff members and fans. I wish that the wounds on everyone’s heart can be healed…

"It didn’t matter who"

How can there be such cruel string of words.
Such a thing as ‘a person who did not matter’ does not exist in this world.
No matter what kind of human you are, every single person exists here and now.

There is no human who deserves to be called ‘a person who did not matter’.

I can’t hide my resentment.

From now on, it depends on whether we can align what we think to our subsequent actions.

Clench our fists tightly.

Because we are AKB48.

Other than us, there are many other people who conduct hand shakes and my heart hurts when I think about them.

In order to create a safe, peaceful environment for all the people involved to attend hand shake activities.

This kind of incident can never occur again.

I hope it can remain a place where love is being accepted.

My baby showing her love and support. ..*sniffle* That warms my heart.

According to fans, Oshima Ryoka’s mobile mail is not looking very good.
Seems like she is very traumatized by the incident.
The gist is that she can’t get the scene out of her head, and is afraid of going outside now

みなさんへ
みなさん。お久しぶりです。
今回の件で、たくさんの方にご迷惑とご心配をおかけしてしまいすみませんでした。
あんにんさんと川栄さんとは連絡をとってます。安心してください。
同じレーンに居た私が見たあの光景は一生忘れないと思います。
正直言って今は外に出ることも怖くて難しいです。人と関わることも怖いです。
時間はかかるかもしれないけど
待っててください。
みなさんが思ってるよりは
元気だと思います。
これからもよろしくお願いします。

1番最初に応援してくれてるみなさんに伝えたかったのでメールを送りました。

"I am sorry that many people are worried because of what happened. 

I have talked to Annin and Kawaei, please don’t worry.
I was in the same lane and I don’t think I can forget what I saw for the rest of my life.

Frankly speaking I’m afraid of even going out.

I am also afraid of anything that has to do with people at the moment. 
It will probably take time so please be patient with me.

I am probably doing better than everyone thinks. 

Thank you for your continued support.

I wanted to let people that have supported me know what’s going on so I sent this mobame.”

I hope she gets the care and support she needs too; no-one that age should ever have to see what she saw.
Now I wonder how much the girls will have to be involved in subsequent legal proceedings.  Will they have to recount the whole nightmare in court, maybe have to look at that guy's face again?

Oh no, it sounds like Ryoka got PTSD and depression. Best wishes to her. I know these things will take a long time. (I was depressed for a time too.)

The metal detector at  HKT48 / SKE48 Theater....

[SomethingWild]

Ricchan on Viking via phone:

140528 バイキング

It's right at the beginning for about 7 minutes.

She sounds really energetic and positive. 

[kaiser5077]

now, there are guards in the theater for the girls safety...

[frblckstr1]

^ Reminds me of the old times in the AKB theater, there were 'guards' at the side also for some time.

[RenX]

It's good that they improve security not only at handshake events, since I believe that kind of incident can happen at 48-events anywhere.
Anyway, all for the best for Ryoka, hope she can recover from that terrible scar. She definitely needs the support from people close to her.

[Rachel431]

kuramochi also seems to be strongly affected by it as well, she mentioned about having flashbacks to the event. Takamina is also feeling scared, it seems like they are all strongly freaked out by it. Do anyone knows the lanes of all the member who participated in the handshake?
I'm guessing kuramochi was also in the same lane as kawaei but I'm sure that Takamina had a lane for herself.

[muppet]

Not 100% sure, but with Rina and Anna in the same lane
were

Ryoka Oshima
Asuka Kuramochi
Aki Takajo

Along with probably 3 or 4 staff.....

Please correct if wrong

[muppet]

Last night, Ryoka simply posted
"Oyasuminasai" on her google+
account with this photo


Take your time, Ryoka chan!
