Couldn’t the allowance be a little more reasonable?
This content is machine-translated.
At clubs in Ginza, it costs around ¥120,000 or more per person, so compared with that, spending around ¥100,000 or more for one date in a compensated-dating arrangement seems pretty cheap, doesn’t it…
I’m BB7.
I don’t drink, so I’ve never been to a Ginza hostess club, nor do I have any desire to go.
But I think comparing the two is pointless. They’re completely different things.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here with an answer as well.
Since the allowance is something the two of you discuss and agree on, if you take the firm stance of saying,
“I won’t accept anyone offering less than 12,”
then I think everyone you date will offer at least 12.
In that sense, it’s something you can manage after all.
Speaking of which, someone who raised the price of butter was criticized recently. But I feel people need to realize that Japan’s “everything should be as cheap as possible” mindset has no future.
Take cameras, for example. In the past, Germany was known for precision equipment, and brands like Leica were famous. Back when Leica cameras cost ¥500,000 or even ¥1 million, Canon and Nikon sold even their most expensive professional cameras in the ¥200,000 range and captured market share by emphasizing affordability.
But seeing how every camera manufacturer eventually found that it couldn’t make money from cameras alone, I can understand why buyers welcome low prices.
Still, if that means companies end up disappearing or withdrawing from the market, it makes me wish they had built a properly profitable business model from the start.

There’s just no getting through to them.
I’ve been saying all along that the going allowance rate should be raised by ¥10,000, and that the going rate for an adult relationship through Universe Club is ¥60,000 and up—but all I’m doing is making more enemies.
Cheap-ass papas have no place in dating clubs, so I wish they’d hurry up and go use the apps instead.

I’m Aya, a female member.
At clubs in Ginza, once you’ve ordered a bottle, you can just drink that same bottle the next time, so you’ll only pay around ¥50,000–¥60,000 for the table charge. Customers who order champagne or wine to be opened every time may spend ¥100,000 or ¥200,000, but some people simply want to enjoy a cheaper drink with just the table charge.
It’s the same with dating—everyone has different preferences for how they want to spend time together. I think the only thing you can do is increase the number of people you meet and look for a generous (well-paying) papa (a male supporter).

Tell that to the other person. I also don’t really see the point of comparing it to the bill at a Ginza hostess club. Besides, a little over ¥100,000 means you didn’t even order a bottle, did you? Are you one of those customers who tells the hostesses, “You lot can just drink water”?
So, what’s your question?
