On November 28, NTT Docomo announced that it would postpone the release of the drama "Back Alley Hotel," which features 11 third-generation members of the idol group Sakurazaka46, which was scheduled to begin streaming on its video streaming service Lemino on December 5.
The reason for this was explained as follows: "Because the video contains scenes that evoke bear attacks, we discussed the matter with the relevant parties and decided to postpone the release date." Details such as the release date after the postponement will be announced on the "Lemino" service site.
Additionally, the premiere screening that was scheduled for December 1st has also been postponed. "We will discuss future plans with Sakurazaka46's agency, and will make a separate announcement on the Lemino service site once a new date has been decided," the company said.
The series is a coming-of-age fantasy set in a mysterious "back alley hotel" away from the hustle and bustle of the city, depicting the growth of female guests through a mysterious "otherworldly experience" overnight. The series will consist of 10 episodes and was scheduled to be released every Friday at noon starting December 5th.
