Mob Suzuki, of idol group Kirameki☆Unforent, has posted on YouTube about safety concerns at the "POP GALAXY" music festival in Odaiba, which caused some groups to withdraw on the second day (August 16) after experiencing safety issues such as a cracked stage. Mob also reported that initially one of the stages was unfinished and was erected by workers not wearing helmets, idol dressing rooms were just buses, an incomprehensible itinerary was written by AI, and that security staff spent their time just watching the event. However, she finished off the vid by saying that taking part in such an event was one of the charms of the idol world. https://t.co/lBIwgocb1p
The organisers issued an apology on August 17 saying "As it was our first event, we would like to apologise for the many shortcomings and inconveniences, particularly regarding the facilities and running of the event" and extended their thanks to all involved. https://t.co/93Ks0bUbwD
