I’m writing with a question after reading Darling, Universe’s column for male members.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male club member. Since the club is helping make possible things that would otherwise be completely out of the question, I think I’d be willing to do whatever is feasible, as long as there’s no issue. P.S. Mac, You lost money on stocks? Ah, I see—that could be it. I hadn’t thought of asking a salesperson; that’s one approach! I’ll keep that in mind. I’m trying to gradually buy more, though I’m nowhere near half as much as you have. Since it dropped so quickly, it’ll be exciting if it rebounds just as quickly.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office will answer as well. > If this question isn’t published and answered, I’ll ask it on another forum. Since it was properly formatted as a question, I went ahead and approved it for publication. But if you want to ask on another forum, you should simply do that instead of going out of your way to write something like this. I don’t know which forum you’re referring to, but there’s no need to force yourself to ask here. So, please go to whatever forum you prefer. Goodbye～～～ That said, since I did approve it, I’ll answer. If you had properly read the column, I don’t think you would have come up with the question: > “Is it correct to understand that this is something that normally takes place?” But I suppose it can’t be helped—some people have poor reading comprehension. My understanding is that because Mr. Saito has such a good personality, the staff went to considerable effort to arrange things in a way that stayed within the rules. > “Is it okay to assume that Universe will do anything as long as you pay?” If you paid around 10 million yen, we could arrange various things within the rules. Ah, though in this case, was it closer to 5 million yen? I’m not entirely sure of the exact figure, but I’ve heard that a considerable amount was spent. Why not prepare around 10 million yen and make the same request? That said, you would need to have the kind of personality that makes the staff want to take action for you, and makes them want to think about how they can accommodate your request while staying within the rules. If not, the answer would probably simply be, “That isn’t possible under the rules.” Even if the relationship is between a club and a member, it is still a relationship between people. If you value that aspect, I believe the same thing may be possible.

I’m Marika, a female member. Mac’s answer says it all. We often see questions from female members like: “I went in for another photo shoot, answered the mistress questionnaire, and uploaded selfies, but I still haven’t received any offers. What am I doing wrong?” Maezawa-san says, “I can’t answer unless I know what kind of person you are, so please email me directly.” So maybe if you asked something like: “I’m also a Black member, and I’ve made lots of offers to actresses and models and spent a great deal of money. I have a good relationship with my coordinator (or at least I think I do). Why haven’t I been invited to a discussion event? (T0T)” Maezawa-san might direct you to email him privately and give you an answer!? You might get an answer that helps you going forward, such as: “The amount you spend is on a completely different level.” “Your personality may be difficult to deal with.” Oh, and if you’re a Black member, couldn’t you just ask your own coordinator directly? I’m worried that Saito-san♪ might stop writing the column. Unlike Mac, Saito-san♪ isn’t thick-skinned (Mac, that’s meant as a compliment!), or perhaps they feel that it’s enough for the people who understand them to understand. I always look forward to Saito-san♪’s column, so I hope they won’t quit over something like this. As a company, Universe isn’t doing anything dishonest, and it’s not failing to provide the stipulated services while still charging other members, either. I think it’s a good idea for generating discussion. I hope the club continues to be relaxed and easygoing, in a good way.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. I also feel there’s no need to get so worked up about it. Of course, I don’t think it’s something just anyone can do with anyone. Basically, it comes down to being someone who can do it—and someone who can get the other person to go along with it. The most important thing, I suppose, is creating an environment where you’re able to do it yourself. I agree with what Mac said. Your answers have been really sharp lately, Mac. That said, saying “a male member can make Yuniba spread her legs” is a bit vulgar, don’t you think? (lol) If you said, “Yuniba is willing to accommodate what the male member wants,” I’d give it 100 points. (lol) And one more thing: “The greatest papa-katsu roundtable in Yuniba’s history”—I’m in! (lol) Looking forward to it!

I’m Basil, a male member. It’s only natural for a for-profit company to give preferential treatment to its best customers over ordinary customers—especially since they also serve as promotional ambassadors. I think the questioner is saying that while pursuing expansion, if the club goes too far and neglects its regular customers, it’ll eventually face backlash. Personally, I’m satisfied as long as the service meets my own expectations. If it doesn’t, I’ll simply stop using it.

I’m Meg, a female member. You sound angry... I couldn’t help wondering, “What part of that content are you angry about???” I’m sorry I couldn’t relate to it m(_ _)m I suppose it’s something wealthy people do. As an ordinary person, I really don’t understand it. I wonder if something unpleasant happened. Perhaps things aren’t going well with your partner. At times like this, I wonder what I could do to help calm you down. Deep breathing is good because you can do it right where you are. Oh, you could also try going to a nearby park. Just watching the carp gently swimming in the pond or seeing the cherry blossoms beginning to bloom beautifully might help you feel more at ease. Mac-sama, you’re on fire again today♪ > The company itself, Uniba, is like one big female member What a wonderful way to put it. That idea could only come from someone who really understands a woman’s heart～ I’m adding it to my collection of quotes m(_ _)m I feel that Universe really does think from a woman’s perspective. In that sense, seeing the company as a female member is spot-on, isn’t it? (Though it may not be exactly what Captain-sama had in mind...?) I also believe this is the result of the tireless efforts of everyone at the company, starting with its representative, Mr. Kida.
