Isn't that a "given"?  Sounds typical for the Fushitsusha shows I've seen.
There's usually about two-dozen guys right up at the stage with their
mouths wide open and blank
"I've-just-gone-blind-from-looking-at-the-face-of-god" expressions on their
faces, while the back of the venue contains the girlfriends of the quarter
of the guys who: A) actually have girlfriends B) were stupid enough to
bring them, huddling together with hands over ears, one occasionally
venturing up to pull on oblivious boyfriend's jacket in vain attempt to get
him to abandon the horrible noise.  And no one in the middle ...
