I’m the one who asked whether getting paid for karaoke only counts as papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
This content is machine-translated.
I planned to stop after just one time, but today I ended up accepting money for karaoke again. I also haven’t touched the money I received before.
This has made me realize that I’m doing this less because I want money and more because I feel lonely. I think I may be addicted.
Who would you talk to about this? And would you stop doing papa-katsu?
If you’re only feeling lonely, why not meet people through other means?
Dating apps
Open chat groups
Apps for paid social gatherings
There are plenty of ways to meet people, right?
And if you can get paid just for karaoke, I don’t see why you shouldn’t simply accept it. You got lucky.

I think you should quit.
Before long, your sense of normalcy may get distorted and it could start affecting your mental health—you might even end up growing wings on your back.
If you’re in your twenties, try focusing on building a fulfilling career.
By the way, I saw a job posting for a secretary paying ¥500,000 a month. It sounds more enjoyable than papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), and you’d be valued and relied on. Why not apply?

Are you the person who posted this question?
Did you go karaoke again with the same person? If so, even though he says it’s “not very interesting,” he must be enjoying himself if he keeps coming back, right? Maybe he’s just a contrarian. Don’t worry about it—you can keep going to karaoke if you want. If you’d rather do something else, that’s fine too. Basically, anything goes as long as you’re both having fun.
If you went karaoke with a different man, then I don’t really have anything to say about it.
What’s wrong with doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) to fill your loneliness? The other person is doing papa-katsu because he’s lonely too, right? You’re both in the same boat, so I don’t think you need to worry about it.
It’s not really about being dependent or anything like that. It just means you’re a lonely person who misses human warmth.
Don’t stay up overthinking it. Just get some sleep. Good night!

If you’re just going to karaoke with someone you know or a friend, it’s not really papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)—more like getting some spending money or something similar to papa-katsu. Though I suppose it depends on the amount.
If you find a papa (a male supporter) through a club, then it’s papa-katsu. Even if it’s someone you already know, it becomes papa-katsu if you agree that it is.
Karaoke is perfect for taking your mind off loneliness, and I don’t think the other person would get tired of it even if you went every day. You can let off steam just by singing, even without talking.
