Someone I know secretly tried to apply to the club after I told them about it, lying about their criminal record and income. I’m hoping they’ll be rejected, but I’m also afraid for my own safety if they’re accepted. Should I discreetly inform someone at Universe Club?

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. Universe has many young women among its members. To help minimize the risk of harm to these young women with their bright futures ahead, please be sure to contact the club!

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. > If he actually managed to join, I’d be scared too. Should I quietly let someone at Universe Club know? The eligibility requirements for male members at Universe Club are: - Be at least 20 years old and in good physical and mental health - Have no criminal record - Be able to present valid identification - Have sufficient financial and emotional leeway However, criminal records are self-reported. Normally, privacy laws make it difficult to investigate someone’s criminal history easily. That said, if you can provide specific information—for example, what crime this person has committed—there may be ways to investigate to some extent. Even if we receive the information and look into it, though, nothing may come up. In that case, the person could still potentially join, even if that feels frightening to you. Incidentally, if the issue is discovered after they join, they will be forcibly expelled, with no refund of the membership or annual fee. (Naturally, since they lied on their application.) P.S. At Universe, proof of income isn’t required, so it’s easy to lie about your annual income. On the other hand, many people who earn a lot deliberately report a lower income, which makes me realize that people have all sorts of ways of thinking. For example, it’s fairly common for someone earning over ¥40 million a year to report an income of around ¥10 million to Universe. Update: The contact form below the anonymous question box is different from our other contact forms—it sends messages specifically to the anonymous question box. If the email address you use isn’t in an RFC-compliant format—that is, it’s an address that shouldn’t be used—you may be unable to send the message at all, depending on the address. Even if the message goes through, it may not be delivered properly. If you’re using an email address like that, I recommend switching to a valid one. This seems to happen particularly often with docomo email addresses. Email addresses in formats not permitted by RFC include: - A period immediately before the @ Example: ****.@～ - Consecutive periods Example: ****..***@～
