The police have been cracking down on dance clubs over the past year, arresting operators and shutting clubs by suddenly enforcing a law about dancing and other amusement that goes back to 1948, and related regulations.
The fines, raids and closing of dance clubs all over Japan are a repressive policy that unreasonably restricts young people from enjoying themselves and does nothing to improve safety or even so-called "public morals."
The clubs should be kept open and better policies created so that people can dance.
