Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well.
Messaging on LINE about once a week might seem a little infrequent, but if you think of it as a monthly arrangement where you meet once a month, then getting in touch about once a week seems perfectly normal.
I think it really depends on how close the two of you are. If you’re very much in love but only meet once a month, you’d probably message more often.
On the other hand, if the terms are to meet a woman you like once a month on a monthly arrangement, you can talk about various things when you meet, so if the messages outside of that are just to arrange the meeting, once a week seems pretty normal.
That said, I don’t think it’s a good idea to take a long time to reply. I don’t know the reason, but in this case, it seems like he simply hasn’t been able to finalize the time yet and plans to reply once it’s confirmed.
And I get the feeling it may not be finalized until the day before.

If your message has been read, it’s fine to send another message as long as you’re not repeatedly pressuring her to reply, especially if she doesn’t respond right away.
If you’re worried, just wait two or three days before sending another message.
As for messages from women you meet through the club, I think it’s perfectly fine whether they message often or not.
Unlike communication from a mistress relationship that developed through an affair or romance, there’s no need to be overly cautious. Since club-related arrangements are easier for men to explain away with some excuse about the club or a hostess bar if their wife happens to find out, men generally feel more relaxed about them. So I think it’s fine for women to message at their own pace.
The appropriate interval probably depends on the relationship type and how affectionate you are with each other.
For Type A, if it’s dinner only (no intimacy), basically just message around the time you’re meeting. If you’re very affectionate, it’s fine to message as much as you like—even every day.
For Type B, perhaps every three or four days, or a little less often than half the interval between meetings.
For Type C, usually just message to arrange meetings. If you’re very affectionate, you don’t need to worry about the frequency and can message whenever you like. If you aren’t particularly affectionate, just reply when she messages you.
I’ve never made an offer to a Type D woman, so I’m not sure.
Since this is a club arrangement, I think it’s fine to message without worrying too much or overthinking it!
Especially during the first few exchanges, men are probably happy to receive lots of LINE messages. Men often worry because they don’t know how to get a reply from a woman, and they’re also afraid of making a mistake. So when a woman messages them first, it’s actually a relief.
One of the advantages of club arrangements is that both people can be together without constantly worrying about burdening each other.
With LINE as it is now, if your message still hasn’t been read after a day, you can unsend it, rewrite it to make replying easier, and send it again. It won’t be rude.
