For example, would it be possible to arrange a woman in the 200,000-yen setting-fee range if I requested one?

Thank you for your question. I’m Kida, the representative, and I’ll answer it. **Is it possible to be introduced to a woman whose setting fee is around ¥200,000?** → If there are women like that available, yes. There were quite a few about three years ago—women with, so to speak, an entertainment-industry profile. I don’t know whether any such women are currently registered, and frankly, I’m not particularly interested in finding out. Nor do I feel any need to actively recommend them. Still, you could ask the staff just in case: “Please show me women in the ¥200,000 setting-fee range.” In Tokyo, there may even be women around the ¥300,000 level. It’s essentially a world of rarity, like special meat brought out from behind the scenes. However, Universe Club doesn’t particularly recommend it. That’s because most of that kind of meat has lost its freshness, has its own quirks, and may even pose health risks. Women like that are the specialty of private, unlicensed introducers known as arrangers, so they do exist—try looking for one. Incidentally, the new venue Nanase plans to open in January 2019 will operate as a dating café, and is scheduled to consist exclusively of women at that level, with setting fees ranging from ¥100,000 to ¥500,000.
