I passed the interview at a hostess club in one of Tokyo’s downtown entertainment districts, but I’m unsure whether I should go in for a trial shift.
This content is machine-translated.
When I told my father, he said, “That’ll damage your chances in the career you’re aiming for. Though, I guess you’re already a professional prostitute.”
I’ve never engaged in prostitution.
Edit: The career I’m aiming for is in the entertainment industry, and I’ve just been approached about an opportunity. However, my home situation isn’t very good right now, and I genuinely need money. My father only has a part-time job, and my mother is likely to lose her job soon.
That’s why I’m considering working at a hostess club.
What exactly does he mean by “damage your chances”? I don’t understand.
Please explain.
As Fuu said, your parents will probably oppose it if you tell them you want to work in the nightlife industry.
Did you absolutely have to work in that industry? If you’re in your twenties, you can find a job as an office worker even without experience.
You’re only looking at the good side of nightlife work—but what will you do if you don’t become popular and can’t earn enough?
As an office worker, you can earn around ¥200,000 a month while learning on the job. Use that money to become independent.
Can you move out without telling your parents your address? Once you have a substantial amount of money, they may start asking you to give them some.
Also, even if you make money working in nightlife, it may not be easy to rent an apartment for living on your own.
I recommend getting a regular job.

How old are you?
Working in nightlife
Adult entertainment
papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)
Well, any ordinary parent would probably object if you told them.
Couldn’t you just lie convincingly and say you started a part-time job at an izakaya, or something?

A cabaret club is not a brothel.
If he doesn’t even know that—and is a man who can’t earn much to begin with—he’s no better than industrial waste or trash. It’s perfectly fine to treat that papa as if he were dead.
Cut ties with him, make your own money, and live your life your way.

A cabaret club isn’t a restaurant; it’s a regulated adult-entertainment business. That may be enough for some people to label you a “hostess-club worker.” If they’re particularly strict-minded, it’s understandable that they might see it that way.
In other words, you may end up being regarded as someone with experience in the adult-entertainment industry.
I assume you’re also considering accompanying customers to dinner and after-hours outings, so please be careful.

I think the concern is that having worked as a hostess at a cabaret club in the past could hurt your chances of getting entertainment-industry work.
That said, since someone asking this kind of question on an anonymous Q&A site for dating clubs probably isn’t going to make it big in show business anyway, I’d say it’s a needless worry.
