There is no dancing ban - it's a ban on alcohol and dancing after 1 AM (IIRC - either is OK but you can't have both). I'm not sure of the reason but the law has been around for some time (around 60 years).
To give a bit of background, there are tons of laws in Japan that are basically ignored and this was one of those laws (they're ignored until they want a reason to arrest you). Then, in 2010 or so (right after Ebizou incident) the cops started getting strict. It wasn't the local cops (who, in Osaka, basically do nothing except ignore most things) but rather the prefectural police, who were taking orders from Tokyo.
There are tons of clubs in Osaka where you can go dancing. |
in tokyo, people are allergic to smiling. not exactly the people you want to go clubbing with... the law really saves them from humiliation (aka dishonor and shame to their family and friends) because these people are not violent.. |
