The ban forbids public dancing unless the venue has a licence, and even licenced premises have to stop all dancing by midnight. The Footloose-esque law was put into place after the Second World War, in an effort to crack down on dancehalls that were often a hotbed for prostitution. Since then, Japan has developed into a thriving and highly developed nation - yet the archaic dancing ban remained on the books for decades.[/quote]
Japan legalizes fun
If they had Kevin Bacon it would only have taken a week or so to repeal the ban.
"in an effort to crack down on dancehalls that were often a hotbed for prostitution." Oh man if the guys back then could only see their country now. :v:
[QUOTE] Second World War, in an effort to crack down on dancehalls that were often a hotbed for prostitution.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure Japan made prostitution houses specifically for American troops during the occupation. [QUOTE]Sweden, is still sticking to its own dancing ban.[/QUOTE] Well than...
This is a bad idea. The Japanese aren't making enough babies as it is, how bad do you think it will get when men no longer have an excuse not to dance?
Good thing they bowed to public persure before they had a dance dance revolution on their hands.

Well fuck me, I heard this from two best friends I tought it was an inside joke or something. Welp atleast now they can dance all night, I guess.
Under the provisions of the new law you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind
[QUOTE=smurfy;48042576]Under the provisions of the new law you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind[/QUOTE] Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, they're no senpai of mine.
Pubs need a dancing license in Sweden? What an unreal thing.
They should see me dance. The ban would instantly be reinstated.

Typical. Of course they're focusing on such minor issues when the pixelated genital epidemic is still in full force. When will they find a cure?
