Jesus Christ: Japanese horse girls have to cancel their two-day concert in Los Angeles because the Trump administration repeatedly refused to issue visas for performers to enter the U.S. I personally would not piss off the anime demographic two weeks before Election Day: umamusume.com/news/100113/

Umamusume: Pretty Derby

@umamusume_eng
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the cancellation of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby – 7th EVENT: THE STAGE in LOS ANGELES concerts planned for Oct 22–23, 2026.

Although we have coordinated repeatedly with all parties concerned and explored every possible option in our efforts to make this event happen, we were unable to obtain the necessary visas for entry into the US, so we have come to the painful conclusion that holding the concerts is no longer possible.

To all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the show, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern this causes, and for announcing this so close to the event date.

Due to this cancellation, we will process refunds for the following:
・On-site viewing tickets
・Streaming tickets

In addition, we are looking into possible responses to Trainers who were planning to attend the concert in person. This will take some time, so we ask for your patience. Details will be announced on the 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR official website.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes to all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the concerts, as well as to the Umamusume cast, partner company staff, and everyone involved who put tremendous effort into making this event happen.

Please see the link below for the official notice:

Australia's EVs surge
Australia's EV and PHEV sales surged to 35.6% of total car sales in August 2026. In August 2022, EVs made up just 4.7% of total sales. Will sales decline when the Iran war is eventually over? It's possible. But even without the rise in fuel prices which occurred as a result of the war, EVs are still much cheaper to run than petrol/diesel cars. And now they're also cheaper to buy. People who bought an EV have given confidence to others who have worried about switching. The rise in the number of EVs will lead to a surge in new chargers. It will only get easier to run your EV as the charging infrastructure rolls out. And truly, the cheapest EVs are _very_ cheap. The cheapest _car_ in Australia is an EV, the BYD ATTO 1. It has a low range (220 km), but is dirt cheap to run. If you're poor, it's not going to be a burden to stop off and recharge on long routes, just as it isn't for, say, Pakistanis or Thais. This is an unstoppable revolution. The S-curve has flexed upwards, and will continue steepening until we get to 90 or 95% penetration. And that's true everywhere — except the USA. --- Source: EMBER
