Or any similar karaoke establishment? I’ve been living here on dependent visa with 28-h work permit. So, I’ve been thinking since I love going to karaoke a lot, I might as well get a part time job at Big Echo near my house for that hefty 30% staff discount. The only problem is I’m not sure if these karaoke boxes fall under é¢¨ä¿—å–¶æ¥ which my work permit does not allow. Researching on the internet on this matter came up pretty vague. So here I am asking Reddit if any of you have experience working there under the same circumstances.

I think [this page](https://www.visa-yokohama.net/%E3%81%9D%E3%81%AE%E4%BB%96%E3%81%AE%E6%A5%AD%E5%8B%99/%E9%A3%B2%E9%A3%9F-%E9%A2%A8%E4%BF%97%E5%96%B6%E6%A5%AD%E8%A8%B1%E5%8F%AF/) covers it pretty well. Most karaoke boxes fall under é¢¨ä¿—å–¶æ¥ type 6.
If you are forbidden from working at any type of é¢¨ä¿—å–¶æ¥ then probably a kareoke box is also forbidden. However I am not an immigration specialist, I recommend you call immigration and speak with them. Be clear that you want to work at a Big Echo, not a snack/bar/club/etc.
