I live in Toyama. Have you considered establishing a base in the Hokuriku region? With a base in Kanazawa, you would be able to adequately serve everyone from Fukui to Toyama. I believe there is demand from both men and women. It’s only a 20-minute Shinkansen ride from Kanazawa to Toyama, and Fukui is about an hour away by train. In Hokuriku, where people generally rely on cars, that’s a distance women are comfortable traveling on their...

Is it possible to be introduced to a gorgeous woman who’s “more than black-tier”?
💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Kida here, answering your question.
What do I think?
I’m sure it’s possible.
Huh?
What kind of beauties?
Who knows?
I imagine they have pretty faces.
That’s about as much as I know, because I have no interest in women more beautiful than Black-level members.
Sorry.
If you’re looking for beautiful women, I imagine places like Versailles or Ginza President—or even local scouts and arrangers—would be better at introducing you to them.

Why not set up bases in Seoul or Russia’s Far East (Vladivostok or Khabarovsk) and open up a new route? There are countless beautiful girls who want to come to Japan. What if you helped them live the Tokyo life they dream of?

I’m saying that life in Tokyo—the life I’ve always dreamed of—is simply more than I can handle.
How far into the Far East are we talking?!

I’ve never actually compiled the relationship types by class, so this is just based on my impression, but I don’t think there’s much difference in relationship types depending on a woman’s class.
When assigning a class, we consider which one would be most likely to bring her the right offers. We take various factors into account, such as her looks, personality, conversational skills, and manners, so these things…

Regarding a woman’s class, is it fixed while she’s registered? If her facial appearance has changed—either positively or negatively—by the time of a new photo shoot, will her class be reassessed?
💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Kida here.
I believe women’s class assignments can change.
Even without a reshoot, a woman’s class should go up or down depending on whether her perceived value and demand rise or fall, so it’s possible for her class to be reviewed.
That said, staff don’t have the time to constantly check the class assignments of so many women, so in practice, reviews are often done when new photos are taken.
Basically, our ideal is to assign each woman to the class where she’ll receive o…

There’s no foolproof way to prevent someone you know from seeing your profile.
For example, during the membership interview, someone may ask, “If a person whose real name is Taro Tanaka is registered, could you let me know?” We can’t explicitly tell them whether that person is a member, but if there are any members who fit the description of someone they would want to avoid crossing paths with, we can tell them how many there are and leave th…
