I’m a woman asking this question.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. This goes back to the question of why we don’t tell women their rank. We don’t disclose it because women may do things like this once they know their rank. We also ask the men not to tell women their rank. Why would a man tell her anyway? Perhaps he thinks, “It’s not like they’ll force me to leave the service, right?” But if we identify the man involved this time and tell you that he has been forcibly removed, please don’t complain about it. > I’d like to have my original rank restored. Would that be difficult? At present, we don’t change a woman’s rank at her request. If you receive so many offers at your current rank that you would still be receiving offers even after being moved up—for example, if you said, “I’m receiving too many offers and it’s becoming difficult to coordinate my schedule. Would it be possible to move me up a rank?”—then I think it might be possible. Otherwise, I think it would be difficult. You could also work on improving yourself before your next photo shoot, so that the staff conducting it feel that your current rank doesn’t suit you. In that case, it may be possible to move you up. By the way, I don’t understand why you want a higher rank. If he told you during the allowance discussion, “Since you’re at this rank, a small allowance should be enough,” then I think it would be perfectly fine to say: “The rank decided by Universe has nothing to do with my pride as an individual. If you look down on me that much, please approach someone else.”
