"Mogami was doing a livestream企画 (planned broadcast) of walking around the entire Yamanote Line.
Suddenly, a scream of "Kyaa! Help me!" was heard.
The screaming continued for about a minute before it stopped.
After that, a bloodied person appeared on the screen.
The person holding the smartphone turned the camera on themselves, revealing a man (a hand holding a knife was also visible)," AZ Intel reported.
It continued:
"The comment section was flooded with messages like "Is this a random attack?"
The perpetrator kept filming the fallen Mogami on the livestream.
A passerby shouted, "What are you doing?!"
The police arrived and asked, "Did you do this?" → The man responded, "I did it." → The police said, "Suspect under arrest." (The man spoke calmly.)
The police confirmed, "No breathing.
The voices of a gathering crowd could be heard.
The livestream remained on for a long time before eventually being cut off."
