I think that definitely legal matters really aren't something to be worried about. There are many, many arcades in my state (I live in Australia), all of which have at least three or four (or more!) Konami games which proudly read "FOR USE IN JAPAN ONLY." Even the major arcade at the capital city here has two DDREX machines, DDR MAX2, beatmania 10th (I think), initial D (which I believe has the same export restrictions), and probably more if you explored. Good luck with your arcade, if it ever takes off, and I shouldn't really worry about the police at your door.
