Question about Daiei closure

[Hopkins/Kato]

I'm not an expert, but I believe that in 1970, Nikkatsu and Daiei, both in
bad condition, merged their distribution and exhibition businesses to try
and streamline and return to profitability. It didn't work. I don't know
about joint productions between Nikkatsu and Daiei, but the Stray Cat Rock
series was co-produced by Horipro, a talent management agency.

Hello,

I was wondering when did exactly Daiei stop to produce/distribute movie?
what
was the studio last movie?

I heard that the Stray Cat rock series was in fact a Daiei/Nikkatsu
co-production... has anyone informations about this Daiei/Nikkatsu  deal?
How
long did he last?

so long,

Martin
