Wouldn’t you say Japan’s market has more or less been fully tapped out, or perhaps reached a dead end? As a business owner and industry leader, how do you view the current situation? Why not establish scouting bases in Seoul and Russia’s Far East (Khabarovsk and Vladivostok)? Both places have countless cute girls who admire Japan and are desperate to go there. If you open up a route, they’ll take the universe by storm. Please consider it.

Kida will reluctantly answer! I’m not out of options! I’ve still got about 35 prefectures left!! I still have a mission to open the door to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) for all those unbelievably cute girls in Akita. So could you please stop making unnecessary suggestions? You’re making the bar ridiculously high! (crying) People will start saying, “You’re a leader in the industry—can’t you open branches in Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, too?” As if I’m leading anything. And don’t underestimate Japan’s papa-katsu market. Besides, I don’t even know where Khabarovsk is! Even if we assume, for argument’s sake, that there are tons of adorable girls desperate to come to Japan because they’re fascinated by it, that would be a matter of international marriage—not some mistress-type relationship where they couldn’t even get a spouse visa, let al— When I image-searched “women in Khabarovsk,” all I saw were beautiful women… Then I thought, “Wait a minute,” and searched “women in Seoul,” only to find beautiful women there too. I almost got fooled. That was close. I nearly opened a branch in Khabarovsk. I’m worried Matsuzaka might say something like, “I’ll go set up the branch myself.” Anyway, the real mistake is acting like, “Well, I’ve pretty much conquered all of Japan.” I’m quietly starting to think about strengthening our international division from here on out. Until that succeeds, there’ll be no Vladivostok, no Khabarovsk, and no Shikao Suga.
