I had an interview and photo shoot at an agency in Shinjuku on Saturday, but it’s now Tuesday and I still haven’t heard anything… Does this mean I didn’t get accepted?

I’m Maezawa from the company president’s office, and I’ll answer your question as well. We generally complete the process from the interview to registration within one week. Since it hasn’t been a full week yet, the result may not be available. Also, because the typhoon caused train cancellations and delays this time, it may take slightly longer than a week—at least in the Kanto area. However, if you contact the branch where you had your interview, they should know the result even if registration is taking some time, so you’ll likely be able to find out right away.
