Sorry for the very basic question. I’m thinking about starting papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and am considering my options.

That’s right. The person with the ¥15 million annual income mentioned first can’t join the club. Even if they leave the club, it’s fine as long as the relationship continues. Marika

I believe you may still be able to join even if your annual income doesn’t meet the membership requirement, depending on whether you have assets. For details, I think the salon’s administrative office can tell you more if you contact them. > I feel like Japan’s economy may not improve much from here on. I don’t see it that way. I think there’s still plenty of room for growth in areas like artificial intelligence, energy, and new materials, and that whoever establishes the technology and production systems first will eventually gain global dominance. If you can’t afford the enrollment fee or annual membership fee, you’ll probably have to withdraw. But if you already have a dating partner, I don’t think there would be any problem with leaving. The reason I don’t want to remain a member for years without making any offers is that I’d be embarrassed to go through the interview again if I had to re-register or rejoin（笑）
