I know its not really a job question but it is my intention to seek work in Japan in the new year. I've never been to Japan before.but it is my intention to do as many other things as possible outside of work (and if I'm given the time). I heard however, that there's a dancing ban in effect in Japanese clubs. Just wanted to know from any veterans if this was true.

Student visas don't allow you to undertake certain types of part-time employment....such as dancing/hostess club type work....

Other visas however......just be disCREEEEEEEEEEEET and you'll be fine

So basically, there was some confusion between dancing and "dancing," and modern-day Japan has not in fact transformed into England under Cromwell.

Also, did anybody else see the subject and think of this?

There's always one, isn't there? Rolling Eyes

Anyway, if there's no ban then cool. I just recall reading a few articles about clubs being closed down because of it. Unless its targeting a specific kind. Either way, its nice to know this isn't the case.

Wow I read the OP and instantly went on a search for dance clubs in Japan... And then I became very confused. XD "Why would they ban dancing...?"

I kept coming across articles like this and wondering "what the hell?" because it's dated this year. o_o

From a quick browse of that report, it seems like they're shutting down mainly fleapits and deathtraps.

I would suspect that it's got something to do with drugs, personally. Going after clubs for incorrect licenses strikes me as just a pretext.

So it's definitely not about dodgy dance moves, then? Surprised
