About my rank

Maezawa here as well. > Why would that be, when they praised me so much...? It’s hard to know unless you ask the staff member who interviewed you, but one possibility is that during the interview, they found your personality so wonderful that it made your appearance seem even more attractive. Then, when they considered registering you as Platinum, perhaps another staff member said something like, “Just looking at her photos, wouldn’t she be more suited to Gold?” So even though you thought you were Platinum, you may have ended up feeling disappointed. However, they may have thought, “She has a great personality and looks good too. It would be a shame if such a wonderful woman didn’t receive any offers, so taking the other staff member’s opinion into account, let’s place her in Gold. That way, she’s sure to receive offers.” I’m sure the staff member who interviewed you genuinely liked you and thought highly of you. There’s no need to feel discouraged about your registration class, and I don’t think you should worry about it too much. In fact, being placed in Gold instead of Platinum may help you stand out rather than get lost among all the other women.
