Question

During my interview, a staff member told me, “The service is the same regardless of which branch you register with.” Indeed, by navigating the site, I can view information on women nationwide and send offers to them. However, I understand that emails introducing recommended women and women who have not yet been listed are only sent by my assigned branch. In response to another member’s question on June 1 about changing their assigned branch, Mr. Kida, the representative, stated: “We would like to significantly revise our current system of assigning members to specific branches. We are currently making these system changes and expect to be able to announce them to members around mid-July. Under our current system: Assigned branch = branch where the interview was conducted = default branch displayed on the site = branch that can record the member’s renewal fee as revenue A handover from the Osaka staff to the Tokyo staff → left unresolved because it could not be incorporated into routine operations at the practical level Our policy going forward is: Assigned branch → Members will be able to choose and change their assigned branch freely. If they have any concerns, they will be able to consult their assigned branch. → The assigned branch will be able to record the renewal fee as revenue. Branch displayed for women → The branch shown by default when a member opens the member site. → Members will be able to switch branches within the site. With these changes, members will be able to choose both the area where they actually want to go on dates and the staff member responsible for assisting them.” In light of this response, will it be possible for a member to change their branch again after changing their registered branch? Also, regardless of the assigned branch, would it be possible to receive at least emails containing recommended profiles and event information from branches nationwide? If this would be difficult because branches other than the assigned branch cannot record the renewal fee as revenue, could this service be arranged by paying an additional optional service fee or something similar?

Maezawa here with an answer. > Is it possible to change a member’s registered branch and then change it again later? There’s no limit on how many times you can change your registered branch, so you may change it as many times as you like. > Also, regardless of the branch, would it be possible to receive only emails about recommended matches and event information from branches nationwide? Our internal systems aren’t set up to support that yet, so for now, we can generally only send information from your registered branch. > Would it be possible to arrange this service by paying an additional optional service fee? Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be possible because our internal systems aren’t set up for it. However, there was a case in our international division where someone asked us to arrange a meeting at a location overseas. Rather than simply saying that overseas meetings weren’t possible, we decided that we should properly calculate the costs and provide the person making the offer with an estimate. It would then be up to them to decide whether they were willing to pay that amount. (In the end, they agreed, and it became an arrangement costing over one million yen—close to two million yen, perhaps...) This case is a little different, but let me try calculating what a separate annual membership fee would look like. This is only a rough estimate, and it’s admittedly a bit forced, but: If one branch costs ¥160,000, and you wanted to use all 14 branches nationwide: ¥160,000 × 14 branches = ¥2.24 million If the fee for the second branch onward were set at 50%: ¥160,000 + (¥80,000 × 13 branches) = ¥1.2 million For an annual fee of ¥1.2 million, you would essentially be registered with all branches nationwide and receive recommended information from your registered branch. Would that be about right? That said, I doubt anyone would want it badly enough to pay that much, so I hope you’ll wait until our internal systems are able to support it.
