Hello. I read here about the criteria for raising or lowering a woman’s rating (★).

Maezawa from the President’s Office here. > How many stars do women with an average impression—and women who make a particularly good impression—start with? Women with an average impression start with ★★★. In the past, women who made a particularly good impression may have started with ★★★★, but we now have guidelines, and “makes a good impression” isn’t one of the criteria. So even women who leave an especially good impression will likely start with ★★★. > Is it correct to assume that the star rating reflects personality rather than appearance? It reflects neither appearance nor personality, but rather whether she is pleasant and reliable in her interactions. Specifically: 1. If she responds promptly to messages from staff If most replies arrive within two hours and are written politely, we raise her rating by one star. 2. If she receives consistently positive feedback If three or more consecutive reviews praise her manners and pleasant behavior, we raise her rating by one star. (Only if there has been no negative feedback warranting a one-star reduction.) 3. If she has a series of problem-free dates If she has had five or more dates without being late, canceling, or changing the schedule, we raise her rating by one star.

Ren Kurosaki, Sub-Chief Coordinator at the Osaka branch of West Customer Loyalty Group, answering here. Women who make an average impression start with a rating of three stars. It’s difficult to make a proper judgment based on just a one-hour interview, so I believe most women at the other branches also start with three stars. What counts as “a woman who makes a very good impression” ultimately comes down to each staff member’s discretion. However, women who bring something like a small gift may occasionally be registered with four stars. (Will this lead to more women bringing gifts, I wonder...!?) Appearance is judged solely by class, so the star rating reflects personality and character. As others have mentioned, it serves as an indicator of how trustworthy and reassuring the woman is in her relationship with the club. Thank you for your continued support.
