This unusual sign is near the Herbis Osaka building in Umeda, Osaka. But what does it mean?

It means the figure in the middle has small chin chin and they are all looking at it!

To be honest, I thought it was a sign prohibiting staring at... certain things, in a restroom. Then I realised how dumb I was. Does kind of look like an elevator sign, though I don't normally see people whistling or singing in them.

Three men singing, possibly jazz.

Sign to a karaoke place?

Too easy! Electric Vehicle charging restricted to just "The Three Tenors"... they didn't update the sign after Pavarotti passed away.

The Herbis Plaza Ent Building houses the 1200-seat Osaka Shiki Theatre on the 7th floor. I'm guessing this sign directs performers to a special entrance so they can take an elevator directly to the backstage area.

I think  KAMASAMI KONG and Japan Today need to do a little research to find the answer. Some might refer to this as reporting the news...

EV on a curb?  Electric Vehicle charging station with 3 people in tux . . . maybe Level 3 Electric Vehicle charging station?

The dictionary lists "EL" and "ELV" as abbreviations, but Japan has to ignore dictionaries and do it their own way! It's not an Ele Vator. It's an E-Levator.

Service elevator. A bit racist though...

Usually EV means elevator here I though...
