Death at Teito Shimbun Morning Edition Rock Concert.
Crowds fall like dominoes after concert.
Last night, an accident occurred in front of Shibuya Quatre, where crowds fell like dominoes. A dozen people were taken away in ambulances, but Hoshino Shusuke (15 years old), a second-year student at Nagano City First Nagano Junior High School in Nagano Prefecture, died at the hospital.
Shibuya Quatre opened in 1990.
It was a popular spot for young people, but recently, due to poor management, the club has cut staff. Shibuya Police are currently investigating whether the live house's guidance of crowds was inadequate. There are many multi-tenant buildings near the entrance, and there are frequent complaints from the surrounding area about crowds that stay late into the night.
On that day, a concert by a talent called Lily Chou-Chou was being held, and a source said that the fan base was relatively quiet.
