Hello! Project’s Online Shop “e-LineUP!Mall” Still Down a Week After Emergency Maintenance Began

From our other sites

The story

The Hello! Project merchandise shop “e-LineUP!Mall” went into emergency maintenance “to ensure the safety of the service,” and the fact that it still hasn’t reopened a week later became a hot topic on 5ch. In the thread, alongside complaints about how slow the restart is, several posts confused the operator’s own official site with “e-Line,” the sales platform it runs on, which prompted replies sorting out the difference between the two. There were also comments noting that other shopping sites are stuck in similarly long maintenance periods, suggesting the delayed system updates aren’t a problem unique to this one company.

Can't be helped — tons of other sites are still stuck in maintenance too.

How many years does it take to apply a patch?

And here's Kawabe, who was posting all high-and-mighty (likely referring to a company exec weighing in online).

Oh, so they're mixing up the official site with e-Line?

Background and Key Points of This Topic

e-LineUP!Mall is one of the shops using “e-Line,” a shopping platform shared by several idol- and entertainment-related stores, and its system runs separately from the operator’s own official website. The announcement only states the maintenance is “to ensure the safety of the service,” without disclosing the details or cause of the issue (whether it’s a security incident or simply aging infrastructure). In the thread, alongside frustration that the site still hadn’t reopened after a week, some pointed out that other shopping sites are also stuck in similarly long-running maintenance, hinting at industry-wide circumstances behind the continued reliance on old systems. There were also posts mixing up the “official site” with “e-Line,” a reminder that readers need to carefully distinguish what’s actually down — something the replies alone don’t make easy to grasp.
