- Water damage caused by heavy rain has put the live streaming venue out of action.
Dommune has flooded after a period of heavy rain in Tokyo.
Details remain sketchy, but it seems that the issue began with the building's drainage system, which couldn't cope with the sustained typhoon-like conditions in Tokyo this week. Based on a series of messages posted from Dommune's Twitter account, it seems what began as a small leak through an exhaust vent turned into a uncontrollable stream of water, which immediately flooded the studio. Several pieces of equipment were damaged, but Dommune boss Naohiro Ukawa was apparently able to save the video streaming archives kept in the studio. The local fire brigade stopped the flooding with sandbags soon afterwards.
There's no further information about the extent of the damage or when the studio will be back in action. Recent guests have included Dasha Rush, Fred P, Samuel Kerridge and DJ Skirt.
