FEMM: “DANCE IS NOT A CRIME”; dances against Japan’s dance ban

In a newly uploaded video from FEMM, you’ll find the mannequin duo RiRi and LuLa dancing at a Tokyo bath house to their agressive viral hit Fxxk Boyz Get Money.

The video is seemingly normal fare for the group and is leaving fans excited to see the girls back after the released of their full length album this past October, with the video description you’ll quickly realize it’s much more than a simple dance video.

If you’re dancing past a certain hour in Japan, you might find yourself asked to stop, or if you love getting a little too on, arrested. This applies to clubs, bars or any public venue really, including dance classrooms—that’s where it gets personal for FEMM, who are known for their precise dance movements. That requires round the clock practice.
