For male members, a “video” is a very important factor when deciding whether to make an offer.
Women who come in to register for the first time are naturally nervous, but there’s nothing to be embarrassed about—it’s completely normal.
Rather than simply reading from a cue card, it’s more than enough to show yourself doing your best to express who you are, even if you’re nervous.
Male members may be looking for various things in a video, so whether you’re filming one for the first time or updating it with a reshoot, please show your natural self and express yourself in your own way, even if you’re nervous.

I always watch the video.
In my case, though, it’s mainly to check her voice and appearance rather than what she says.
Still images can sometimes make someone look better than they really do.

I watch the videos carefully, paying particular attention to things like body shape—especially the waistline—as well as the person’s overall vibe and way of speaking. I judge from the video whether they seem like someone I’d enjoy meeting and get along with.
The answers also depend on the questions asked by the club staff, don’t they?
If it’s something you’re concerned about, I’d suggest telling the club staff in advance before your next reshoot, preparing your answers, and making improvements where needed.

I always make sure to watch the promotional video.
Compared with text, videos convey far more information. They’re also a valuable source of information because you can get a sense of the atmosphere.
A certain amount of tension is necessary to accomplish something, but being overly nervous can be a real problem. I used to suffer from stage fright too, and I think I was especially afraid of failing after giving it my all.
These days, I take a more relaxed approach: I get something roughly 60% complete first, then discuss it with others and improve its accuracy. Once I’ve spent a certain amount of time on something, I feel it would be a waste not to turn it into a result.
In the past, online posts consisted only of text. Then photos became common, and more recently, videos have become the norm. The spread of smartphones and the development of high-speed networks have played a major role, but I’m looking forward to seeing what comes after video.

I always watch the videos, and they have a significant influence on whether I make an offer.
Basically, I pay attention to things like their voice and facial expressions. For example, someone might have a baby face but a hoarse, alcohol-worn voice like a hostess-club mama in the provinces, or only move the area around her mouth when she talks. Those are the kinds of details I look for. The Q&A is usually designed to put them on the spot, so in an unusual situation like that, I watch hoping to catch a glimpse of their genuine expressions and reactions. On the other hand, I’m sometimes disappointed when someone just handles it calmly and without a hitch.
That said, I don’t necessarily make an offer just because someone gives a good answer. Once, a woman was asked, “What’s your favorite position?” She looked shocked by the blatantly inappropriate question, hesitated for a moment with a slightly embarrassed expression, and then answered, “From behind.” I ended up liking that video so much that I watched it every day for a while, almost as part of my daily routine—but I still didn’t make an offer（笑）
That’s all from the field.

It depends on the person.
For example, I make offers without watching the video, so it doesn’t affect me at all.
That said, some people may decide whether to make an offer after watching the video. Even among those who do watch it, their reaction to seeing a woman looking nervous will vary from person to person—and may also depend on their mood at the time.
