I’m Tsubaki, and I enjoy reading all the various questions and answers here every day!

>>Misato Thanks for your comment. I love watching movies, shopping, and cooking too! Curiosity really does make life richer and more vibrant, doesn’t it? I look forward to staying in touch with you as well ♡ >>Fuu Body sculpting— I guess everyone really does put in the effort! No matter their age, a fit man automatically looks about five years younger (lol). Keep up the great work! >>Aya Even though you had so many questions to answer, thank you for scrolling back and replying to mine—it made me so happy! I had a feeling you were probably into beauty and things like that, so I was right (lol). Communication should be polite, concise, and sincere! I truly think those are very important qualities!

Sorry for the late reply. I always enjoy reading your many thoughtful answers, Tsubaki-san, where you really put yourself in the questioners’ shoes. As far as effort goes, I suppose I try to do some light strength training whenever I have a little free time… Beauty and dieting are my hobbies, but I’m really not good at exercise like strength training, so it feels more like “effort” to me. At work, rather than forcing myself through difficult “effort,” I try to focus on making positive “improvements.” I make a point of communicating politely and concisely, while never losing sight of sincerity.

Body makeover You can’t really change your face, but your body shape can be improved with effort, so I’m aiming for a lean, toned physique. ・Cardio 　I bought a stationary bike and ride it for 30 minutes a day. ・Strength training 　Abs: I have faint vertical lines already—aiming for a six-pack. 　Chest: Working to make my pecs more defined. 　Squats: To keep my glutes from sagging.

Sorry for the late reply… Tsubaki, you always answer questions so sincerely and thoughtfully! I enjoy reading your responses while thinking about what a wonderful person you must be. I’d love to share more about myself too, but unfortunately, I can’t go into detail because I think my papa (a male supporter) reads this Q&A. Within what I can share, I’m working hard and staying positive about my career. My hobbies are reading and watching movies. I also enjoy shopping and cooking. I’m very curious by nature, so no matter how old I get, I want to keep having the courage to try new things. I look forward to continuing to connect with you♡

Thank you all for your answers! It was really educational to see how much effort everyone puts in. It made me want to keep working toward becoming a wonderful person, just like all of you. I’ve written individual thank-you messages below. It turned into a long, somewhat difficult-to-read post, so please take a look whenever you have some free time… (lol) >> Rin Good morning! The Secretary Skills Test is really useful and quite educational, isn’t it? I studied for it before starting my career, and it came in handy not only for secretarial work but also for sales, administrative work, and pretty much any job. If you can understand the material from a book, the exam isn’t too difficult either, so if you feel like it, I definitely recommend taking it! >> Makeo I’m still wondering whether “84 years old in actual age” was a joke or the truth…! If it’s true, you must be incredibly healthy, so I’d love to get some of that DNA for my parents! (lol) Strength training really is a form of anti-aging. Eating insects is definitely next-level! I’ve tried it once as a souvenir, but I didn’t have the courage to do it again. (lol) You seem very curious and must have met all kinds of people and had all sorts of experiences, so if we ever get the chance, I’d love to hear your legendary stories of unusual and wonderful dates! >> Kazu A lot of people here exercise, don’t they? I also enjoy earning certifications and have gotten quite a few, but they haven’t really led to work or any practical use. (lol) I’m gradually turning into a certification collector who just gets them for the sake of having them… If you have any interesting certifications, please tell me about them! >> Seattle You’ve already achieved all your own dreams and goals, and now you’re focusing on women’s dreams and goals… Aren’t you the very definition of an ideal papa? That’s wonderful! Thank you regarding LINE. Unfortunately, since I don’t want my answers to be influenced by personal considerations, I’m currently avoiding making the real me and the respondent Tsubaki one and the same… If I ever change my mind, I’ll definitely let you know! Though I might secretly take a look at your profile in the meantime. (lol) >> Maezawa So that’s what happened! Unfortunately, I didn’t attend the event, so I had no idea. Thank you for letting me know! (lol) And thank you as always for all your hard work running the site. I’m really enjoying using it! >> Potassium You put effort into both your inner and outer self, don’t you? I’m often a bit of a three-day enthusiast myself, so I really respect you for keeping it up for more than two years…! Observing living things is fun, isn’t it? When I was a student, I often watched the pigeons outside the window. (lol) I always enjoy reading your answers—they have such a unique writing style, yet they really hit the mark. >> Paper Airplane Being able to meet someone anytime may seem like you simply have too much free time, but it’s actually incredibly difficult and requires a lot of planning and thought. That’s why, whether for papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or anything else, I really admire people who can use their time freely…! I’m sure the women you’re seeing appreciate it a lot too. >> Osaka The distinction between one’s livelihood and one’s job was very informative. You may be able to make a living from your main occupation alone, but these days, if you don’t challenge yourself with new things, life isn’t very enjoyable—and before long, you’ll be left behind… Even though I’m always drifting around a bit, I feel like my lifestyle is also similar in that I’m eager to pursue whatever seems fun! >> Early I keep thinking that I should take in and update my knowledge too, but I’m so slow to get started, so I really respect how well you stay on top of it…! Taking on a triathlon sounds like fun. Go for Honolulu! Ishigaki! I’ll be quietly cheering you on while waiting for your report after the event. (lol) >> Himawari Whether it’s improving your work skills or strength training, motivation ultimately has to last, so point ③ is definitely the key. Keep at it! I’d love to meet you someday too! Based on your writing style, I imagine you’re a bright, cheerful person with a smile just like your name, Himawari. As a serious person myself, I’d love to take a few pointers from you. (lol)

Wow, Tsubaki!! For me: 1. Improving my skills at my current job 2. I started working out. I was a complete beginner and didn’t know anything at first, but I’m finally getting the hang of it, and it’s so much fun! 3. Staying motivated (I’m a bit emotionally fragile, so I have to be careful not to spiral.) I’d love to meet you, Tsubaki!

I have too many work-related goals to list them all（笑） I’m still in the prime of my working years, so compared with everyone else, I’m nowhere near where I want to be. But little by little, I’ve been able to do more, and I’ve also gained more colleagues who are working toward the same goals. It’s less about forcing myself to work hard and more that I naturally find myself giving it my all. I’ve even started to feel a sense of purpose. Also, although I haven’t been using it on its own much lately, I do hold a difficult national certification, so I make sure to keep learning and updating my knowledge. As for my private life, I’m taking a break from the gym because I’m currently dealing with an injury, but I’ve been going regularly for several years now. Lately, I’ve been thinking that I might take on a triathlon. I also feel like I need to start taking golf more seriously and set some goals, otherwise the people around me who’ve been so kind to me might stop inviting me to play（笑） Rather than for papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), I pay a certain amount of attention to my appearance because I’m the head of a company. I also visit cosmetic clinics and things like that. That said, I do get carried away when the girls I’m seeing tell me I look younger than my actual age（笑）

I forget who said it, but apparently, doing something to earn money is your livelihood, while taking on something that might not make you any money is your work, or career, haha. In business, I try to keep a good balance between the two. As for hobbies, I have so many interests that I tend to try all sorts of things, and some of them have stuck with me, so my plate is already pretty full. I also enjoy interacting with people. Of course, I meet women through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), but in business too, it’s fun to grab drinks with people I click with—or with a few fellow answerers from here. I may be drifting along a bit, but I’m living life greedily pursuing whatever seems fun, haha.

I’m the kind of person whose body and mind feel nourished and energized whenever I spend time with a woman. So when one of my favorites calls, I make sure I’m always available to see her. That’s about it, I guess. I mean, I don’t neglect the effort it takes to make that possible… Hm? Is that completely confusing?? Being able to see someone whenever you want—even on consecutive days—isn’t easy, you know… You need to keep your work flexible, and you also have to make a constant effort so your family doesn’t become suspicious. It’s important to arrange things so that no one notices anything or catches on, even to the smallest details. You can be as demanding as you like, see her whenever you want, and have her grant your every wish… Not bad, right? I also like seeing people happy, and seeing their happy faces makes me feel good, so papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) suits me perfectly. Maybe that’s why I’ve recently started wondering whether women ever really leave me. I mean, if you broke off an engagement or demanded a divorce, most people would normally walk away, right… Yet this impossible relationship just keeps going, like a paper airplane… Since they benefit from the whole atmosphere, those women have convinced themselves that I don’t have anyone else besides them… completely on their own… They believe it even without me saying anything. And they think they’ve beaten my wife (that’s just my delusion)… But they know they can’t compete with younger women, so they keep telling me never to get a younger girlfriend…

> Tsubaki, if you search for “Seattle” and message me saying “You’re lovely,” I’ll definitely make you an offer and connect you with my LINE group of friends. You finally made your move. Let’s keep it a secret that you were approaching another Tsubaki at Kida’s event the other day. (笑)

I’ve already achieved all of my goals in life. I need to find something new to work toward, though. I’m not sure whether you could call it hard work, but perhaps my current goal—and something worth striving for—is to support the women I’ve met through Universe Club until they can graduate or get married without having to worry about anything. I’m happy that I can combine a hobby with practical benefits. Tsubaki-san, if you search for “Seattle” and send me a nice message, I’ll definitely make you an offer and connect you with my private LINE group. The same goes for the other female respondents, if you’re interested. Potassium-san, I’d like to make you an offer as well. P.S. Tsubaki-san, I hope I haven’t mistaken you for someone else this time. Potassium-san, I added someone who seems like you to my favorites—is that the wrong person? I’m currently a Standard-level man. Even just connecting on LINE would be fine. Potassium-san, I’m terribly sorry for making you go to all this trouble. So even including “Seattle” in the message doesn’t work? I’ll ask Maezawa-san as well. P.S. Tsubaki-san, understood. Potassium-san, I’ll send you a letter offer, so please become friends with me if you’d like. I didn’t realize women can’t search by keyword. I’m very sorry for the trouble.

Good morning. Yes, I do. I make sure to get a certain amount of exercise every day and consistently complete all three of the Apple Watch activity rings. I also keep learning new things. I take occasional breaks, so I may not study every single day, but I choose different subjects from time to time and study with the goal of passing various certification exams.

I know I’ve said this too many times and it’s not exactly fresh anymore, but I do strength training and running every single day—the ultimate anti-aging routine. I’m 84 in actual age, but the anti-aging effects of strength training and running are so incredible that I almost feel like challenging Early to a battle of youthful looks. I honestly can’t understand why everyone doesn’t do it. Strength training and running rank higher on my priority list than either work or papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). There are days when I don’t do papa-katsu, but there isn’t a single day when I skip my workouts and running. I always start my day with strength training. If you have stamina, you can do anything. Since I don’t get tired, I can work two or even three times as much as other people—and my lower-back stamina is better than a college student’s, haha. Also, I’m a creator by profession, so I go along with and learn about the unusual hobbies of women I meet through papa-katsu. Ideas don’t come from sitting at a desk, so I make a point of exposing myself to lots of different cultures. That’s why I don’t make offers to ordinary women who say things like, “Golf is my hobby!” I’m more interested in meeting someone unusual who says, “Eating insects is my latest obsession,” then asking them all sorts of questions and actually trying the insects myself. Recently, I met a woman who was extremely introverted, and I became really curious about her. I’ve been enthusiastically getting involved in her mysterious hobbies. I know I’m repeating myself, but if you don’t have stamina, you can’t put in the effort. For me, strength training and running are the foundation of everything.

Good morning, Tsubaki. You’re the one whose answers make me think, “She must be a wonderful person!” It’s not something I’ve been working on every day, but recently I’ve been reading a book for the Secretary Skills Certification exam. Since I haven’t had what you’d call ordinary work experience, I’m learning so much from it. I’ve also lived in a very narrow world, so I feel like it’s really useful for me. There are probably a lot of things everyone else naturally picks up through everyday life that I don’t have. I only know about the world I’ve lived in. If I told you what I do for a living, you might say, “Oh, I see,” but I’ve been doing only that since I was a child, so I don’t know much about the outside world. It’s not like I’m planning to become a secretary, but I thought learning about a secretary’s work might help me understand how ordinary companies and society operate, so I chose a book for the Secretary Skills Certification exam. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them! As for things I’m working hard at… nothing in particular. I’ve lived in a world where working hard was simply expected, so I’m probably numb to what even counts as “effort.” Haha. Have a wonderful break!!
