No, I'm not making this up. Like American Bapists they must follow banning dancing seemed like the thing to do in the years after World War II. Dancing will only lead to drug taking and forenication, which is intolerable.
In the topsy-turvy world of Japan’s clubland, party-goers currently risk being arrested for failing to obey “No Dancing” signs at venues.
An antiquated law prohibiting dancing after midnight, zealously enforced by police in recent years, has decimated much of Japan’s dance scene, with Tokyo taking some big hits.
However, with one eye on the 2020 Olympics, which was last year awarded to Tokyo, Japanese lawmakers have decided the time has come to change the party-pooping rule.
It's like living in the movie world that is Flashdance.
A government committee last month agreed the Law on Control and Improvement of Amusement Business, introduced in 1948 to curb prostitution at dance halls, needed overhauling.
“This law is unnecessary,” committee secretary general Tsukasa Akimoto, of the ruling Liberal-Democratic Party, told AFP. “Why should dancing be illegal? Obviously the Olympics are a factor. It’s realistic to expect the law to be changed by the end of this year.”
We're from the government and we're here to "help."
