A classic American film and play tells the story of a small town, Bomont, West Virginia, where local leaders ban dancing, fearing it could lead to to other destructive decisions. The local pastor, who has gained a position of power within the local community, believes that dancing and music lead to drugs, partying and drinking. Actions that lead to the death of his son after a night of partying. From an American perspective, the movie Footloose is ignorant and closed-minded. One might think that this ideology is no longer with us as the world has evolved and modernized. But it still exists in Japan's third largest city, Osaka. An area of ​​the city called Amemura, otherwise known as "Little America", has been criticized for violating laws known as Fueiho. Fueiho or entertainment control laws control forms of entertainment in this small island nation. It requires any establishment to obtain a license allowing its customers to dance in their club. In recent years, the authorities have handed over the other check, but they know that raids have started against clubs that had not purchased a license. Basic restrictions are set by these laws, such as closing time must be midnight or one a.m., but these laws also mandate that the club "have 66 square miles of unobstructed floor space in the main hall » (prohibition of dancing). Due to the lack of space in Japan, clubs do not have space for such a large dance floor. The Fueiho law dates back to the Taisho period which began in 1912 and ended in 1926, during which the police attempted to regulate dance halls. For older generations, dance halls were a place of questionable morals where strangers danced closely together, leading to bad questions later in the night. This is often a western tradition, elders looked down on it even more... middle of paper ...... nightlife, which means instead of focusing on entertainment laws , perhaps the focus should be on reducing gangs and crimes related to gang activity. In our modern age, dancing or even the act of dancing should not be seen as a sign of rebellion or defiance. Dancing is a way to express emotions and a way to relieve stress for many people, which should be corrected as soon as possible. I can respect or understand drugs or gang activity, but by banning dancing, the authorities are paving the way for a violent reaction from their own people. As Kevin Bacon says in Footloose while trying to convince the city council: "A time to laugh and a time to cry." A time to cry and there is a time to dance. And there was a time for this law, but it is no longer the case today. You see, it’s our time to dance.” (Free from any attachment). Japan, it's your time to dance.
