Roxie's Monthly Film Series Nippon Nights is going to show Japanese documentary about Japan's law regulating entertainment.
Noon, a venerable Osaka club, was busted in April 2012 for violating Japan's law regulating entertainment establishments. Eight were arrested in the case, their charges being that the club allowed approximately 20 people to dance on its premises "without permission". The law regulating entertainment businesses makes it illegal to allow patrons to dance, but the law went into effect in 1948, and in many ways is out of step with contemporary society. The 65-year-old law was created when so-called dance clubs were used as hotbeds of prostitution. This documentary covered the music event held in July of the same year by over 90 artist teams, who rallied in protest. This film devolves into problems in Japan's music industry with interviews of performers like Ito Seiko and Hanaregumi, who have their doubts about the law.
