create alias daidai_(318706698) -> dai_dai

Reversing this alias. There's a 90% chance it's a phone number because it's a Chinese artist, there is no significance to this number - one is used for the stacc and the other is the automatically-created subdomain for the artist for registering with Fanbox.

Well, I knew they were a Chinese artist, but I hadn't really given much thought to what this number might represent before.

I've just confirmed that it's actually a Tencent QQ account number.

BTW, regarding the naming convention, I think "daidai" would be more appropriate than "dai_dai" since it functions as a complete name unit. When disambiguation is needed, it need a modifier format like "daidai_(*)".

Needs to be fixed to what "自給自足" romanises out to.

In Chinese, the dictionary says it is zi ji zi zu.
Seems that this word is also used in Japanese, so I think it may not apply for Japanese artists.

In Japanese, it's じきゅうじそく (jikyuujisoku).
