Disturbance

迷惑行為 · meiwaku-koui

Also known as: meiwaku-koui

Behaviour that upsets cast members or other guests; venue notices say it is not tolerated and it is grounds for being asked to leave.

Meiwaku koi covers anything that troubles cast, other guests or staff, and venue notices at the door or on the price list say that guests who do it will be asked to leave. The usual examples are touching a cast member without consent, photographing or recording without permission, shouting or arguing while drunk, refusing to pay, and pestering a cast member for private contact details.

Hostess clubs and girls bars are places for conversation and drinks; touching the cast is outside what they offer. A guest who does not stop after a warning is asked to leave and pays for the time used. In serious cases the venue calls the police.

You see it on notices at the entrance and on price lists, and in reviews describing how a venue handled a guest.
