He is a friend of Shintaro (ex.BLACK CAT)?

Wonder if they'll close down the bar for that. Seems like they would.

I shouldn't be surprised but this isn't reflecting well on the scene. Two underage sexual-related encounters in the same year? Strip the rose-tint from glasses why don't you?

some "clarifications" before the entire vk scene is sitting invisibly beside shintaro and manew in the defendant's dock...

 

according to the actual news report, there was no underage sex involved (or, at least, no explicit mention of it). if there had been, the charge would be a different and much more serious one. the alleged charge is that he asked his employee to entertain "female customers" without having the license to engage in "fuuzoku" business - an umbrella term which in the context of Japan can mean a whole range of "services" from entertaining girls (which is basically what host clubs do), various kinds of shady massage parlors and dance halls, to outright provision of "legal" types of sexual services - all of which governed by strict regulations.

So basically he was trying to run an illegal host club out of the bar he managed, if I'm understanding that report correctly?

yup so either he tried to run a host club without having a host club permit (he advertizes his place as a "visual kei bar with a lot of hot guys"), or he tried to do something more than a host club (but which is still "legal" with the appropriate clearances) while only having a host club permit. it's not entirely clear from the report lol.

BAR VELU has temporarily paused operations and might be renovated
