Simple: It disturbs people. There is an commercial in TV
showing an Shibuya Girl talking very loud in her mobile phone
while everybody looked very angry at her until she stops.
It's a new campagne to bring more "quality" in driving trains,
it is also not allowed to sit that you occupy 2 seats, to take
your "razor" with you, to use your walkman very loud, to spit into
the train and so on. Nothing really special.
