50 Sadakos invade Shibuya on last day of Golden Week


Japanese horror icon Sadako has once again resorted to unique promotion methods for her upcoming 3D revival movie ‘Sadako 3D‘ by invading Shibuya, Tokyo in multitudes on the last day of Golden Week.

The promo event was dubbed the ‘Daizoushoku Matsuri’ (the ‘Big
Multiplication Festival’) and featured a total of 50 Sadakos strolling
around Shibuya’s famous pedestrian scramble while mimicking Sadako’s
crawling out of the TV monitors. It is Sadako’s trademark scene of
crawling out of a water well, although in this upcoming movie, she is
also crawling out from a PC monitor, a TV screen on the street and even a
smartphone. The bizarre spectacle received mixed reactions, from
sobbing girls & screaming female school students to intrigued
foreign tourists who couldn’t stop taking pictures.

After roaming through the streets, the Sadakos gathered in front of
TOHO Cinemas’ Shibuya entrance, Shibuya Mark City, and the Moyai statue
in front of the Shibuya Station. They then continued with the promotions
by distributing ‘letters from Sadako’ to passersbys. Those included 12
different messages such as, “I got tired of crawling out of a water well, so I decided to crawl out of a monitor,” “Not looking will get you cursed, however, looking will get you cursed too,” and, “Believe it or not, I have a nice body.”


In addition to the 50 Sadakos, the campaign also features one gigantic Sadako attached onto a big promo truck.

‘Sadako 3D’ stars Ishihara Satomi, Seto Koji, and Yamamoto Yusuke, and will open in cinemas nationwide on May 12th.

Water supply cut in Chiba, Saitama due to toxin contamination


TOKYO —

The water supply to tens of thousands of households in two
prefectures near Tokyo was cut off Saturday after local checks found it
was contaminated with a cancer-causing chemical.


The city of Noda, Chiba Prefecture, some 30 kilometers from central
Tokyo, said it had stopped supplies to a major part of the city. Most of
the neighboring city of Kashiwa also has no tap water supply.


Water supplies have been cut to a total of 210,000 households in
Chiba, where the two cities are located, according to Jiji Press news
agency.


Television footage showed residents queuing up with plastic
containers to get water from trucks sent by the cities. Authorities have
not determined the cause of the contamination although reports said
industrial wastewater was suspected.


Authorities in Chiba and Saitama prefectures, which both neighbor
Tokyo, found water taken from the Tone River or one of its branches was
contaminated with higher than allowed levels of formaldehyde.


Formaldehyde is a colorless chemical with a pungent odor, classified
as a human carcinogen by the Lyon-based International Agency for
Research on Cancer.


Chiba stopped taking water from a branch of the Tone River after detecting elevated levels of formaldehyde.


The worst reading was seen in Saitama, which temporarily stopped
taking water at a filtration plant that on Friday detected contamination
of 0.200 milligrams of formaldehyde per liter, more than two times the
0.080 milligram national limit.


Water intake was resumed in Saitama Saturday as the level
significantly dropped below the limit, according to prefecture
officials.


“The water poses no health risks,” local waterworks official Akiyoshi
Fujimura said, noting none of it had been supplied to households and
that the threshold itself was set on the assumption of consumption over a
long period.


“We had hardly detected formaldehyde in check-ups before… We have to
find the cause,” he told AFP by phone, adding waste water from a factory
could be responsible.

Man arrested over knife attack at Shibuya subway station

Crime
May. 24, 2012 - 12:12PM
TOKYO —

Police said Thursday they have arrested a 32-year-old man for
allegedly stabbing another man at Shibuya subway station on Monday
night.


The victim, a 53-year-old newspaper deliveryman, was slashed on the
right side of his torso and behind his right ear with a knife after he
got into an argument with his attacker on the escalator descending to
the platform on the Fukutoshin subway line just after 6 p.m. on Monday
night. He remains in hospital in a stable condition.


Train services were suspended for two hours while police searched for
the assailant. However, security camera footage later showed the
suspect boarding a train on the Hanzomon line. He got off at Nagatacho
and transferred to the Yurakucho line and went to Ikebukuro.


The suspect, who has been named as 32-year-old Tomohiro Watanabe, was
detained on Wednesday night, TV Asahi reported. He is a resident of
Asaka in Saitama Prefecture. A search of his home turned up a blue bag,
an image of which had been released to the public after Watanabe was
captured on CCTV cameras in the station. Inside the bag, police found a
survival knife with a 30-cm blade, which they believe to be the weapon
used in the attack, TV Asahi reported.


During police questioning, Watanabe was quoted by police as saying
that he got angry when the victim shoved him while going down the
escalator. Police say they are continuing to investigate the
circumstances that led up to the attack, including the reason Watanabe
was carrying a survival knife, TV Asahi reported.

Trial begins in case of 18-year-old unlicensed driver who killed 2, injured 8

KYOTO —

The trial has begun in the case of an 18-year-old youth who drove his
car into a group of elementary school children and some adults, killing
seven-year-old girl and a pregnant woman, in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture,
on April 23.


The defendant, who cannot be named because he is a minor, had no driver’s license at the time.


Yukihi Matsumura, 26, who was seven months pregnant, and Mao Odani,
7, were declared dead several hours after the crash, which happened at
around 8 a.m. as the children were being taken to school. Matsumura’s
unborn baby also died in the accident.


According to police, the children and Matsumura were walking along
the side of a curved one-way road when the minicar failed to make a left
curve and hit them.


The driver said he and his two passengers had been joyriding since
the previous night. He was quoted as telling police that he dozed off at
the wheel.


The driver’s two passengers — two 18-year-old youths — were also
arrested because they knew their friend did not have a driver’s license
and did nothing about it, police said.


Although trials of minors are generally not open to the public in
Japan, cases involving loss of life can be attended by the families of
those who were killed or injured.


Hiroshi Yokoyama, whose daughter was killed in the incident, told
reporters, “We have a lot of painful memories. We would really like to
see a full investigation take place so that the truth can come out.”


The court is to rule on whether or not the boy can be charged as an adult on Friday.

Hotel company president gets down on her knees to apologize for fatal fire


OKAYAMA —

The president of the company that operates the Hotel Prince Fukuyama,
Hiroshima Prefecture, where a fire killed seven people on May 13, got
down on her knees at a news conference in Okayama on Wednesday to
apologize.


Three men and four women were killed when the fire swept through the
four-story hotel. At the time of the fire, there were 13 guests staying
in the hotel and one employee on duty.


The cause of the fire, which gutted the 2nd and 3rd floors, was
attributed to a lack of safety prevention measures. The hotel had no
sprinkler system and been warned about lax anti-fire prevention measures
in at least eight areas last year, fire department officials said.


Taeko Kusunoki, 63, who has been president of the hotel operator
since 2006, said she deeply regretted what had happened and offered
prayers for the seven victims, Fuji TV reported.


She said she accepted full responsibility for not complying with requests from fire department officials.

Man, woman stabbed to death in random attack on Osaka street


OSAKA —

A man and a woman were stabbed to death in an apparent random attack on a busy Osaka street on Sunday afternoon.


According to police and witnesses, the attacks took place at around 1
p.m. in Higashi-Shinsaibashi in Osaka’s Minami district. The two
victims were a 52-year-old man and a woman in her 60s, police said.


Police said that a suspect, identified as 36-year-old Kyozo Isoki,
was arrested at the scene and confessed to the attacks, TV Asahi
reported. Isoki was quoted by police as saying that he didn’t know the
victims and chose them at random because he “wanted to kill someone.”


Local media quoted witnesses as saying that Isoki stabbed the man
first, then ran about 40 meters and stabbed the woman. He then ran back
to the fallen man and stabbed him again, TV Asahi reported. Both victims
were taken to hospital where they were pronounced dead.
