I’ve been pursuing a modeling career for so long that I’m now almost 30.
This content is machine-translated.
People around me have started telling me to give up already, and I’ve recently begun realizing how serious my situation is.
I’m planning to interview at Universe Lounge, but I’ve been aiming to become an actress or model, and my only work experience is part-time jobs. I’m currently unemployed—would it be a problem if I honestly say that I’m looking for work?
I’ve heard that at high-end lounges in Tokyo, women who are almost 30 may be rejected based on age alone. I’m also unable to drink alcohol, so I’m interested in Universe Lounge.
I also find it appealing that I could do it alongside a part-time job.
This is Mamiya from Universe Lounge.
There are no specific membership requirements regarding employment, so please feel free to come in for an interview even if you’re currently between jobs!
That said, we’re opening in December, so your circumstances may have changed by then.
I’m also approaching my late 30s, but I worked up the courage to go for a lounge interview. As expected, I wasn’t accepted because of my age (lol).
We’re different from typical lounges, so there’s no problem if you don’t drink alcohol or are in your 30s.
We look forward to meeting you.

I don’t think there’s any problem with saying that.
However, saying you’re looking for a job can make it sound like you’re completely relying on papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) to get by, which may put you at a disadvantage. That said, lying about your occupation can lead to trouble.
If you have a part-time job, I think it would be better to say you’re a part-time worker rather than that you’re job hunting.

By “model,” you mean a supermodel, right?
Ai Tominaga has gotten older too, but she still looks absolutely amazing. I’m a fan and often check out her posts on Instagram. She’s truly gorgeous.
I’m into legs, so I bet yours are really beautiful too. I’d love to see them—so envious~♡
There are older models too, so why not pursue modeling while working a regular job?
And even if it’s called a lounge, what you end up doing is essentially the same, so please don’t get that mixed up.
Also, whether you have a job or not isn’t really important.

I don’t think being on a leave of absence is a problem.
That said, being rejected based on age is the same in any field—including sports—when appearance and physical stamina are the main considerations. At clubs, more than half of the women may be 25 or younger.

Why not try interviewing at both Universe Lounge and Club?
You’ve probably put in a lot of effort while pursuing your dreams. I think people—regardless of gender—would be interested in hearing about those experiences.

Models, underground idols, and voice actors aren’t careers you can realistically make a living from, so you’re better off quitting.
There are only 50 men in the salon, so the competition is fierce. Unless you’re a confident woman, you’d be better off applying for an interview at the regular Universe Club.
At Universe Club, women in their late 20s are the most popular, so if you have a good personality and conversation skills, I think you could make a living there.
Sorry—was it Universe Lounge? Since it only just opened, it’s still hard to say.
Either way, you have to take action.
