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.

Aren’t the membership requirements for the new club set far too low? For salaried employees, “an annual income of at least ¥50 million” (roughly ¥30 million after taxes), and for owner-managers, “annual sales of at least ¥5 billion” should be sufficient. Anyone below that is clearly unnecessary. Cut them loose. The admission fee should be “¥0 for provisional membership.” However, if they want to become full members after one month, they...

I wouldn’t want certain billionaire members from the current club joining the new one. The questionnaires they submit are vulgar, they look down on women, and they make their pathetic character painfully clear. Don’t underestimate the women at our club.

When I read the comments from male members I often see here, I find myself thinking, “Wouldn’t going to a high-end soapland satisfy their desires?” The women registered with the club are mostly amateurs, aren’t they? Personally, if a woman I was having a relationship with for the first time was easily okay with going without protection, I’d actually be put off. I’d think, “Is she a professional?” I believe there are plenty of decent mal...

The true professionals insist on using condoms. It’s their livelihood, after all, and catching an unnecessary illness could cause trouble for the entire production crew—that’s a serious risk.
On the other hand, at high-end soaplands and the like, going without protection has become increasingly common…

You’ve thought things through here and found your answer, so I think all that’s left is to go to the interview.
Try approaching the interview with the same mindset as when you meet a man for the first time.
Even if you pass the interview, are you planning to meet men in a hoodie and jeans?
(Some women can pull that look off beautifully, so it’s hard to say for sure.)

The new club seems to have exactly the kind of concept I’m looking for, and I’d really like to join, but my annual income is under ¥40 million. Would it be impossible for me to become a member?
💬 Answer from 間宮（銀座スタッフ）:
Let me jump in with an answer too.
I’m genuinely happy that you relate to the concept!!
An annual income of ¥40 million is one benchmark we use, but even a multimillionaire doesn’t get to ignore the rules or receive special treatment. And if someone earning ¥30 million is extremely gentlemanly, handsome, and incredibly kind to me, I might still find my heart wavering. I might even beg him to join somehow!

Good grief, how many years are we going to keep having the same debate? Shouldn’t there be stricter rules regarding “barebacking” and STIs? Even chlamydia can pose a risk of infertility in the future. At the very least, both men and women should be required to undergo STI testing to join. Renewals shouldn’t be approved unless they submit their test results, either. Precisely because no other club is doing it, Universe should be the one ...

You probably happened to go in for your interview during a busy time. Also, depending on the staff member, some may find it difficult to say that tights aren’t allowed.

So I imagine they ended up taking your photos as-is.

As Nonta and Takita have mentioned, even though some highly educated women are registered with Standard and similar clubs, spending more time with them than expected often leaves you with the impression that they’re quite grounded and dependable.

I live in Tokyo and can easily get to Shinjuku, Ebisu, or Ginza, but there wasn’t any access information, so I’d like to choose based on the distance from the station and similar factors. Is it possible to change the interview location after applying?

I walk pretty slowly, so at my normal pace, it feels like it takes about 10 minutes to get to either Shinjuku or Ebisu.
Ginza is closer, so as long as you use the right exit, I think even I can get there in about five minutes.
