@WA4TKG Back then it was right next to the AKB48 Cafe & Shop as you come out from the station. Then a year or two ago they expanded to take over the AKB48 Cafe location as well.

I like how the Western sources are all glossing over the fact that this is more about enforcement of the love ban than about the assault, despite Yamaguchi herself emphasizing this in every communication thus far. Including her top liked tweet (the one she keeps reliking to bump it to the top) demanding any member who had been involved with fans be fired.

Also, they didn't cease performances, they just stopped the main team performances and replaced them with research student performances. They still haven't resumed either NIII or G performances, the new 6-person stage only features former research students who were just promoted last year.
