On Saturday when the incident occurred, Mayu was set to give a live performance according to her blog. It was then that Iwazaki approached her and started stabbing her with a folding knife apparently after asking her about a watch he’d sent to the J-Pop singer in January or February this year , and which was returned back to him around April. “I ambushed her at the station and asked her (about the gift),” the Times quotes him telling police. “I lost my temper and stabbed her many times because she didn’t clearly answer.”
