Story behind the song
It's seedy and dark with the glow of neon. It's the bare underground where everything has a price and anything goes. A red-light district is a neighborhood where prostitution and other businesses in the sex industry flourish. The term "red-light district" was first recorded in the United States in 1894, in an article in The Sentinel, a newspaper in Milwaukee. Some say the origin of the red light comes from the red lanterns carried by railway workers, which were left outside brothels when the workers entered, so that they could be quickly located for any needed train movement. Others speculate that the origin comes from the red paper lanterns that were hung outside brothels in ancient China to identify them as such. During World War I there were many brothels in Belgium and France; blue lights were used to indicate brothels for officers, red lights for other ranks. One of the many terms used for a red-light district in Japanese is akasen (akasen?), literally meaning "red-line", apparently of independent origins from the English term. Japanese police drew a red line on maps to indicate the boundaries of legal red-light districts.
