    In the memorable lyrics of a rather famous old song...

    "And in the master's chambers,
    They gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their steely knives,
    But they just can't kill the beast..."

    The full name is 株式会社DH (Kabushiki-Gaisha DH). There are no official English name as of yet, it could be DH Inc., DH Co., Ltd., DH Corp., etc. 株式会社 means limited company, and it could by styled in English in many way.

    what happened to the Heroes actor and the company who came to aks rescue last year? are they still involved or not? and isn't strange that another pachinko company has taken over akb?

    LOUD DIAMOND!

    My little favorite EbiKachu being third right behind the BIG TWO makes me particularly happy.

    Putting a note here in case someone isn't following the world news.

    Japan PM, Abe Shinzo, declared a state of emergency for Tokyo, Kanagawa (Pacifico Yokohama), Chiba (Makuhari Messe), Saitama, Osaka, Hyougo (Kobe), and Fukuoka (Hakata). The implementation is left to each prefecture, but for Tokyo, non-essential place (including Theater) must be closed. The state of emergency is in effect until May 6.

    This means:
    • No more streaming-only events/stage
    • 99.99999999% no HS on Apr 29, Mar 5-6. (I think Kanagawa have separate announcement banning all events until August.)
    Lastly, don't forget to unsubscribe from DMM if you are subscribed!

    As far as I know, AKB48 member is on fixed salary (each member got different fixed salary though), and per diem for HS/Stage, etc. I might be wrong on this, though.

    However, I don't think this applies to all sister groups.
