Hello! Project bans jumping during concerts and events

Hello! Project announced on their website on October 24th that they are banning jumping during their concerts and events.

According to staff, there have been many trouble caused by people who are excessively jumping and despite warnings, the situation has not improved and so it decided to ban jumping, as it has obstructed people’s views, led to falls, injuries and also damage to venue equipment.

On October 20th, at the Tsubaki Factory event at Saitama Prefecture at Omiya Stellar Town, there was a permitted jump area.  So, depending on the venue, a setup for permitted jumping may be implemented.

Fans commented on SNS that they will abide by the rules, but others who were saddened as certain songs are enjoyed while jumping.
