As reported earlier, AKB48 members Kawaei Rina and Iriyama Anna got injured by a 24-year-old man with a saw, during the group's handshake event in Iwate.

On the 25th at 9:30 pm, AKB48 Theater manager Yuasa Hiroshi explained the details on those two's conditions in front of the hospital they are currently hospitalized.

According to the theater manager, Kawaei fractured her thumb of the right hand, and got slashed on her right arm. Iriyama also fractured her pinky finger of the right hand, and got slashed on her head area and right arm. Both of them received surgeries to join the edges of the wounds.

The theater manager also revealed that those two are able to have clear conversation, and they looked calm right before the surgeries.

Along with the two members, there was a male staff member who also got injured, but none of them are life-threatening.

Don't follow K-pop much but ended up hearing about allkpop and the scandal with the K-pop idol Ailee. Honestly I haven't visited allkpop in ages as they did not impress me much with their "reporting" but sharing nude photos of a young idol after an ex-boyfriend put them on the web and defending it as just doing their duty as a "news" site? Sorry, but you are a douche pit. Especially as it is being said that ex-boyfriend works for the site. (Read a full rundown of events here for those curious.)

I will make sure never to visit allkpop or their J-pop site, Tokyohive, ever again.

Belated complaints about new Allkpop & Tokyohive

Belated, I know, but they FINALLY updated the new Tokyohive and since it's the same layout, my complaints about the new AKP have resurfaced.

For me, the big pictures are fine, the all around "bigness" is fine, and I even like the color scheme, but these are all asthetic compliments. My complaints lie with the functions of the new Allkpop/Tokyohive:

1: The "next/previous page" buttons

I fall behind on new music/music news very easily, but I would remember what point I fell behind at (like, I had final exams and couldn't go online for about a week). It was sooooo much more convenient for me to just write "/page/2" etc at the end of the URL to go back to the date and time of the last article I read. But now, and taking into consideration that at least 20 articles are published PER DAY, there is no "/page/2" that you can type in the URL. It doesn't exist and a blank page comes up if you do type that. I don't think you know how infuriatingly annoying that is, for me to have to scroll aaaaaall the way to the bottom and hit "next page" over and over. And over. And over. What a waste of time. Worst part is that when you hit "next" and "previous page" it still appear as "allkpop.com" or "tokyohive.com"; the URL NEVER CHANGES. So if I mess up and accidentally click on a link (as has happened before) and hit the back button on impulse, guess where it sends me? Back to the freaking beginning with the most recent articles. I have to scroll and click "next" all over again to get BACK to the older stuff I was trying to catch up on. Ugh, please, I'd rather not.

Same with the "next/previous page" of comments, which brings me to...

2: The commenting

Okay, yes, there was about a 2 month warning ahead of time of the change in log-in (that you'd have to login with your e-mail, not your username), but I think we all thought that would affect, I dunno, how you logged in? And... that's it? But unlike what most of us thought (or me, at least), Disqus is no longer an option to log in. And since they used the Disqus template for commenting on the old sites, that's a problem. It's a problem mostly because there are people who worked soooo hard to gain all of their likes on comments and be one of the most popluar users and gain benefit points but now have to start allllll over. How unfair to them. Would've been a little nicer to know they were gonna drop Disqus ahead of time.

The "next/previous page" again... for comments, it's equally a nuisance. I mean, going from seeing all of the comments on the same page at the same time on the old one, to now having a limit of how many comments you can see at one time, including the replies to previous comments, that's not innovative and it's not "better". It's just a pain in the ass! And replying to comments with the @thisperson thing now... I don't know, it just looks so cluttered and clunky and flat-out unappealing. I genuinely used to be interested in reading the comments and seeing what people had to say before, but now, it doens't look organized, and frankly, I'm too lazy to go back and forth on "pages" to remember each comment anyway. And I became lazy because THIS WAS NEVER SOMETHING THAT WAS A PROBLEM BEFORE. Now it is, and sorry, I'm just too lazy to now.

3: Logging in

This is also in ties with commenting but let me just throw something out there: Why have a "remember me" box when you log in if, the second you close out of the website, it makes you login the very next time you go to the website, even if you were just on the website 4 minutes prior? Like... why??? Why put that as a thing if you don't even have the power to make it a thing that actually works? I don't want to log in every single time. And with Disqus, I didn't have to. I think they made you log back in maybe.. I dunno, once a month? Because "remember me" actually meant "I'll be back, don't get rid of my information." With Allkpop and Tokyohive now, it's like dealing with 10-second Tom in website form.

4: The unfinishedness of it all

Final complaint about the overall new layout is just... I can't be the only one getting a serious "unfinished" vibe from it. Yes, I get that it's a lot of work with a lot of pressure because a lot of people go to those sites, but guys, if you have to put up updates saying you "fixed this" and "fixed that" about the new layout, how about you wait a couple of days to fix it BEFORE presenting it to the public? Instead of being like "Hey guys, if you can just reaffirm what we already know about the speed or mobile app or the commenting that's not 100% yet, that'd be great," just take the extra three days to fix it! I mean it, I do not care if it takes the three days longer if it means that everything runs smoothly and effciently for me to get all the pleasures of reading and interacting from your sites.

Don't do a half-assed job like you're doing now, whether it be everything I said above, or whether it be about the fact that categories (releases, pictorals, music videos, eye candy, etc) aren't tabs that will take me to all of the music videos or all of the pictorals and are in fact, now, just text, or if it's the category list itself next to the giant-ass "LATEST" at the top of the screen, but clicking on "L music" does absolutely nothing, rendering it pointless, or if it's the "new articles" drop-down on the top of the homepage that has nothing at all and serves no purpose to me whatsoever and hasn't for the two weeks (for AKP) that the new site's been up. For the love of god, 6theory mods,

Get.

It.

Together.

You took 2 extra weeks with Tokyohive and didn't even fix any of this. So maybe you need more time or maybe you need a different layout (or the old one, that'd be preferable). But geez, guys, come on.

I'm not griping as an "I dun liek change" person, I'm just talking in terms of function and organization, and I think, even if you're one of those people who hate everything including the look of it, I truly think we can all agree that there's a lot that needs work just down to the basics of the sites working properly and more time should be devoted to hearing our complaints and working to better everything for the users that make the sites popluar.

Allkpop/Tokyohive users, thank you for your time~
