Did some checking and have added this on the first page.
Update 2012-07-06The name of the group is taken from the address for the building which Akihabara Backstage Pass is located in.
AKIBA カルチャーズZONE 6F
〒101-0021 東京都千代田区
外神田1-7-6
( Tokyo City, Chiyoda Ward, Soto Kanda. Block 1, Lot 7, floor 6 )
バクステ外神田一丁目 = Backstage, Soto Kanda Block 1.
It is about 4 minutes walk from Akihabara station. I checked Googles Map and used the first person view. The image was from 2009. Back then the building they are now in was not occupied. It was a computer/electronics department store.
But now the place is pretty lively. Take note that there is another cafe in the same building. The Good Smile Cafe. Sounds fimiliar? It should. It belongs to the Good Smile Company, the company that provides us with those extremely cute nendroid figures
Here is a
review of the place by a japanese blogger.
Here is a pic of the building's directory. At the time, sometime around 11th April it seems, the 6th floor was still vacant or they just haven't updated the directory
( pic taken from the blog ) I can't recall when exactly Backstage opened.
