Parade Sheet Waiting Rules (ショー待ちシートのルール - Shīto)

Parade Leisure Sheets

🏰 Meaning & Background

The specific etiquette governing parade-ground spot-saving. Guests are allowed to lay down personal plastic picnic sheets ('Leisure Sheets') only starting exactly 1 hour before the scheduled show time.

📜 Cultural Origins

Designed to prevent massive sections of central pathways from being blocked all day by empty picnic blankets. It ensures standard pedestrian traffic flows smoothly until shortly before Soya's parade stars.

🚨 Correct Etiquette & Taboos

1. Prior to the 1-hour mark, sit directly on the pavement without spreading blankets (your entire group must be present). 2. At exactly 60 minutes prior, cast members will announce that you may lay down sheets. 3. Never leave sheets completely unattended.

レジャーシートを広げられるのはショーの1時間前からです。それまではシートを畳んで座って待ちましょう。 / 誰もいないレジャーシートは放置されているとみなされ、キャストに撤去されることがあります。
🔊 You can only spread out your picnic sheet starting 1 hour before the show. Until then, keep it folded and sit on the ground. / Unattended picnic sheets are considered abandoned and may be cleared by cast members.
