Female members can send reverse offers to male respondents they like by emailing the administrator to express their interest. Male members can learn which female members are interested in them by answering questions and sharing their opinions.

Dear staff, thank you as always for your support. After meeting more than 10 men, I’d like to share something I’ve noticed. It seems that some staff members tell male members, “This is confidential, but…” and give them a rough idea of the allowance amount. This causes serious problems, so please stop doing that. When I told one man the allowance amount I usually request, he said, “I was told by the staff that it’s far from the going rat...
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
You’re absolutely right. I agree with you.
Every now and then, some male members say to the staff, “The men are the ones paying, right?”
But would they still pay Universe if there were no women? I don’t think anyone would be eccentric enough to pay for a Universe with no women. They pay because the women are there.
And why do those women come to Universe? Because they can meet good people there.
So if a man insists that he’s the one paying simply to get his…

I’m the person who just asked about the “Nice” feature. I read that after using “Nice,” the mark disappears after 30 days, but it’s still showing even though 30 days have passed. Does this mean the “Nice” feature is still active?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
I’m sorry about that. I’ll check with the person who created the program.
That said, they work according to the regular calendar, so they won’t be back at work until after Golden Week. (That’s also the earliest I’ll be able to ask them.)
So, if you’re concerned, this is only a temporary workaround, but you could try removing your “Nice” once and then sending it again. That should reset the 30-day period from that date.
For anything that’s still there after 3…

To be honest, it hardly ever works out. Most of the women are looking for an overly advantageous deal, and I’m far too picky myself. Neither side knows their limits. I have enough money to keep making offers indefinitely, but is there really any point?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
“I have enough money to keep making offers indefinitely, but is there really any point?”
If you’re questioning it, I feel it might be better not to make the offer.
No matter how much money you have, spending it on something meaningless is a waste.
Even if an offer doesn’t work out, if you feel that it was a good experience, gave you a chance to understand women better, or made you think about how to make things work next time, then I think it’s worth continu…

I read that the “That’s Nice” feature disappears after a month, but it’s still showing. Does that mean it’s still having an effect, or should I send another “That’s Nice”?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
From the context, I don’t think you mean that the “That’s lovely” feature is being removed, but rather that “That’s lovely” disappears after 30 days.
If so, as you said, it would probably be best to send another “That’s lovely.”

Why is it so common for women interviewed by Sapporo Kurano not to have videos attached? Is this neglect of their duties?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
Surely that can’t be the case, I thought—so I checked.
Huh? There aren’t many videos.
That said, it’s also possible you just happened to come across women who don’t allow videos.
Still, I can’t help wondering whether that many coincidences can really happen in a row, so I’ll ask the Sapporo staff.

Yes, that’s perfectly fine.

I’d like to know what the relationship types mean.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
If you’re a member, you probably already know this, so I assume you’re asking as a non-member.
The “relationship type” indicates what kind of arrangement the woman is looking for—whether she only wants dinner, or whether she’s open to something beyond that. It’s simply a guideline for understanding her preferences.
It isn’t binding. For example, she may be willing to continue the relationship after dinner if the man is attractive, but if he isn’t her type, th…

What do the staff think of the “You’re Wonderful!” feature? Have they seen any positive results? What are its pros and cons? As for me, I’m not sure whether it’s a lot or a little, but I receive about two “You’re Wonderful!” reactions per day on average. However, I’ve never received one from anyone I’m interested in, and so far, none of them has ever led to an offer.
💬 Answer from 間宮（銀座スタッフ）:
Thank you for asking about the “Sounds great” feature.
Based on feedback from the male members I work with, many of them received quite a lot of “Sounds great” responses, and some went on to enjoy dates with several female members.
One thing they mentioned was that, even after receiving a large number of “Sounds great” responses, their criteria for choosing someone ultimately didn’t change. They still ended up choosing the same type they usually like.
For example, if the f…

I’m a woman in my 40s. I had an interview on the 12th of this month. I was told to wait for them to contact me regarding the result, but I’d like to know how long I should expect to wait for a response. If you have any idea of the usual timeframe, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
Usually, registration is completed within a week. Since it’s already been 12 days, I’m afraid you may not have been registered successfully.
That said, there could have been an internal issue, or they may have been unable to contact you and therefore couldn’t send your membership information.
Just to be safe, I recommend contacting the branch directly.

While meeting male supporters who have sent me offers, several of them said that they hadn’t wanted to move on to a relationship after dinner with any of the women they had previously met.

💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
I’ll answer as Maezawa as well.
Saying there were several women may be exaggerating a little.
However, according to what I’ve heard from men, there are very occasionally women who look good in their photos and still look good in person, but have no warmth at all. No matter how much you talk to them, the conversation quickly dies out, doesn’t get lively, and the date becomes difficult—in other words, they seemed fine until they actually met.
So, men who have been on a fair …

I’m thinking of coming in for a reshoot. Would it be possible to change only the photos while leaving the video as it is now?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
It’s possible to reshoot only the photos and leave the video unchanged from before.
However, in that case, the outfits in the photos and video will be different, and your hairstyle and overall look will probably change too.
That would make it obvious that the video is from an earlier shoot, so if possible, I recommend having the video reshot at the same time.

Among women, what are the popular types—elegant, cute, or cool? I’d appreciate it if you could explain in detail.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
I’m not entirely sure how to distinguish between the elegant and cool types, but I feel like:
- No. 1 is the cool type
- No. 2 is the cute type
- No. 3 is the beautiful type
That’s how they seem to me.
I don’t think I have any particular preference, but I’m not good at classifying people into “○○ types,” so I may be wrong.

I can’t comment on whether anyone was forcibly removed from the service over an individual case. Even if they were, I don’t disclose the specific reason for the forced removal. So I can’t say what happened to the person you’re referring to this time.
That said, speaking in general, anyone who engages in this kind of behavior will be forcibly removed from the service. Please don’t imitate it under any circumstances.

Regarding the testimonials from male and female members, I’ve noticed that multiple comments are posted by date and location. Are these comments about the same person, or are they compiled whenever feedback is received for a particular date and location?

I used to be in charge of feedback from male and female members. I’m not fully up to date on the current operations, but I’ll answer based on my understanding that things haven’t changed much.
Although the number varies from day to day, there are dates every day, so we receive reports regularly. Some members, however, wait until things have settled down and report their February dates in April.

When I offer an allowance, several women have told me that the staff said, “Usually it’s ¥◯, and at minimum ¥◯.” Isn’t it a problem for them to say things like this just to get women to sign up? There’s no room for negotiation.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
The club never tells women how much their allowance should be.
So I usually tell them to think it through carefully and tell the man an amount they won’t regret asking for.
When they say they still don’t know and want us to tell them, we’re instructed to respond, “I’m sure you can find some information by searching online.”
This time, you were told by the staff, “The usual amount is ¥〇, and the minimum is ¥〇.” I think she probably said it came from the staff…

I’ve been making good use of the “That’s wonderful!” feature! Some male members’ profiles have special notes from the club, while others don’t. What’s the difference?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
The reason some people have special notes while others don’t is simply that we haven’t been able to add them for everyone.
As for whose notes were added first: the male profile feature was implemented before the “Sounds Great” feature.
At that point, only women who received an offer could view the profiles. (Even then, filling out a profile was optional, so many people didn’t.)
Since only a small number of people had filled theirs out at the time, I believe …

I was intrigued by the line in the reshooting question saying that women become more attractive when they go on dates. Does that mean women who are naturally attractive receive offers, while those who have a papa (a male supporter) gain confidence and become even more attractive? Also, does “attractive” refer to physical appearance?

> So, are you saying that women who are naturally attractive tend to receive offers, and having a papa (a male supporter) gives them confidence, making them even more appealing?

Or perhaps being taken to nice restaurants makes th…

I have a dorm curfew, so dates after 10 p.m. are difficult. Will this put me at a disadvantage?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa answers:
If you mean that meeting at 10 p.m. is difficult, it shouldn’t put you at much of a disadvantage. Evening meetups are usually around 7 p.m.
If 10 p.m. is your curfew and you have to be back at your dorm by then, it may be a slight disadvantage. That said, some men may be willing to adjust things—suggesting a 6 p.m. meetup, meeting in the late afternoon, or getting together during the day.
So I don’t think it would be a major disadvantage.

I’m a woman considering signing up at the moment. Is it standard to exchange LINE contact information with a male member after meeting once and deciding you’d like to continue the relationship?

Exchanging LINE contact information is probably the most common, but it’s up to you. So it’s perfectly fine to suggest exchanging KakaoTalk instead, for example.
If the man doesn’t use KakaoTalk, you can simply tell him you’d rather not exchange contact information. That said, even if he doesn’t already use it, most men would probably install it on the spot so you can exchange contacts.
Exchanging email addresses or communicating by SMS would be fine too, wou…
