Police in Osaka's Tenma Station arrested 34-year-old car mechanic service employee Takuya Hisatomi for allegedly disrupting a live concert by voice actress Yukari Tamura on Sunday. The suspect from Fukui Prefecture reportedly itted to throwing a portable radio on stage, saying "I was a fan, but I wanted to sever my feelings of adoration."
The suspect allegedly threw a portable radio, about 9 centimeters long by 5.5 centimeters wide (about 3.5 by 2 inches), at the stage of the Osaka International Convention Center's Grand Cube Osaka hall at about 6:20 p.m. The radio struck a wall, but no one was injured. The staff subdued the suspect, and the police who were dispatched by a 110 (Japanese equivalent of 911 in the United States) emergency phone call took him away. Tamura's "Love ♡ Live 2014 Spring *Fruits Fruits ♡ Cherry" concert, which had about 2,600 attendees, was halted for about 30 minutes.
Tamura's homepage and other official venues famously use the catchphrase that the Higurashi: When They Cry voice actress is "forever 17 years old," but she recently announced on her tour that she is actually 37.
A man was Chō Jigen Game Neptune The Animation (Hyperdimension Neptunia the Animation) event last June by going on stage with a knife.
