Mr. Saito, who gets offered casting-couch deals by people in the entertainment industry, is my hero. Have you ever considered investing in a movie because you wanted to sleep with an actress?

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ Thank you for requesting me specifically. I’m glad you called me a hero, but you haven’t really read many of my answers… have you? lol (If you only recently started viewing my posts, I apologize.) “I use dating clubs to avoid mixing business with my private life.” So there is absolutely no chance of me becoming involved with a woman professionally. Besides, if I wanted a relationship with that actress, I wouldn’t become her sponsor in the first place. Not even starting a rumor is simply good manners. If I really wanted to win her over, it would probably be much faster just to give her the sponsorship money directly… lol On a separate note, I also never use business expenses or company payroll to cover anything for women from dating clubs. Some men may expense things like taxi fares and meals during dates, or even annual membership fees and offer fees. But in my case, I consider anything that could even raise suspicion to be unacceptable. Dealing with tax investigators tends to give you that mindset. (I’m not fond of people who smugly say things like, “That’s just a difference of opinion.”) I pay for my dating-club activities with monthly side income from stocks and futures. Since the amounts can easily fluctuate by hundreds of millions of yen, they’re easy to treat as negligible differences, and I can keep things mentally separate without feeling guilty. (A bit rough, I know.) P.S. I’m a bit of a purist in my everyday life, so if someone tries to offer me pillow talk for business, I’ll cut ties with them. (The very fact that someone assumes I can be easily won over by putting a woman in front of me is proof that they don’t take me seriously.) Also, when it comes to actresses and other entertainers, I only pay an introduction fee and pursue an adult relationship (intimate) with those who are registered with a dating club.
