| What's "PS1"...?

PS1 is the company that Itou Asuka works for.
(planners first kabushiki kaisha)

http://www.ps1.jp/

They do a lot more than just manage idols and such.
They run some restaurants (clubs).
Also some stores that come close to sex shops..

Morning Musume wouldn't fit on many of the stages that
LaLaLu performs on. (^_^;
Also if LaLaLu kept increasing there will be more girls than fans..
