Sleeping Beauty was discovered. It was located in the love hotel district of Dogenzaka. The price was several thousand yen higher than other similar establishments in Tokyo, but it was always popular because female customers returning from clubs in the area would come in at first glance. It was synonymous with hap-bar in Tokyo, claiming to be one of the biggest in Japan. Rumors often circulate that celebrities visited the club, such as Gravure idol A was here the other day, and Musician B, who was arrested for methamphetamine, is a regular customer. On May 8, the Security Division of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Community Safety Department and the Shibuya Police Department uncovered a happening bar in Shibuya called Sleeping Beauty. Ten people were arrested, including the manager and staff. The arrests were for providing a room in the bar and aiding and abetting a man and a woman in committing indecent acts.  The arrests were made against the store’s owner, a 40-year-old man, and nine male and female clerks between the ages of 21 and 42. That and a man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s who were engaged in sex acts inside the store were also arrested on charges of public obscenity but have already been released. Six of the ten shopkeepers have admitted to the charges, but the other four have denied them.   For example, one of those arrested was a 24-year-old female clerk, who stated the following in response to police questioning.  I was only asked by the manager to make drinks for customers on the basement floor, so I was not involved in any crime and have no knowledge of it. This, however, is total sophistry. The restaurant is a long-established business that opened about 15 years ago and was known as “SB” among the cognoscenti. Even after the Corona disaster, it had always provided a place for sexual intercourse for the men and women who came to the store.
