This is Mack, one of the respondents. I just got back from another date with the girl I first approached at Universal Studios in April, and it gave me a bit of a flutter. I wanted to tell someone, so sorry if this sounds like bragging, but if you don’t mind, please read on.
This content is machine-translated.
She’s the girl I wrote about in my column—the one who had just graduated high school in March. Today, she said she really wanted to sing karaoke. When I asked, “Would karaoke at a love hotel be okay?” she said yes. I figured she must have really wanted to sing, since the karaoke places were closed due to the voluntary restrictions.
I requested, “If we’re doing this, sing naked,” and lay down on the floor to film her from a low angle. Then the song that came on was “Let It Flow with the Passage of Time.” Well, look up the lyrics yourself. It gave me butterflies.
After she finished singing, she said, “Mack, do you remember? Today marks exactly one month since we first met. Thank you for listening to all my requests and seeing me so many times this past month, when I was struggling financially. I really wanted to buy you something tangible as a present, but I didn’t have any money, so I decided to give you a song instead. I practiced really hard for this, you know.”
To all the female members, feel free to try this yourselves. I’m sure the papas will be completely smitten and do anything you ask. Now, to get back to the question: has anyone ever received a present from their partner that really moved them? For me, today’s gift is the best so far.
I’m Marika, a female member.
I can tell that Mac likes younger women. That’s not something you can pull off in your forties. I’m jealous—it’s actually kind of sweet.
Those of us in our forties show our sincerity and affection in our own way and do our best for our partners, though! Since it’s not in the form of gifts, I’d like to think of something special to do once in a while.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member.
I’m glad to hear you had such a great time.
In that case, let me share a little humble brag of my own...
It wasn’t a present, but the last time we met, she told me,
“I really like you, Date-san!”
That made me happy（笑）
So I replied, “I like you too!”
To which she said,
“Not love. Like. I mean, like!”
I couldn’t help but laugh.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer.
That’s lovely(^^) If it were me, I might be so touched that I’d cry, haha.
I’m a real sucker for kindness, so I’d be thrilled and grateful to receive any kind of gift.
I often sing for my partner’s birthday or special occasions, but come to think of it, no one has ever returned the favor by singing for me...
Speaking of songs, I’m reminded of the sad incident I wrote about in Column Filler Bar ①: right after getting dumped, for some reason I was made to listen to back number’s “Happy End,” and ended up sobbing my heart out at a love hotel.
I also remember stopping by karaoke on the way home after being dumped by another woman and singing Hideaki Tokunaga’s version of “Jidai” through my tears (TT)

That song choice really speaks to men from the Showa era.
I wonder if your parents used to sing it.
For me, one of the nicest moments was during my first Christmas after joining the dating club. She said, “I thought you might have trouble taking something home, so I made you a dessert,” and we enjoyed the sweets together in the hotel room.
It’s really nice when a woman thinks about you and does something thoughtful.

I’m a male member, Seattle.
I looked up the lyrics. Eighteen-year-old-chan, excellent choice.

If she sang something like this with tears in her eyes, I’d probably turn into an ATM.
I guess my best memory is from my birthday ten years ago, when she gave me a massage in a maid outfit.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office will answer too.
That’s a heartwarming story.
You do that right there?
Like, get them undressed?
Or even record a video?
There are a few things that make you want to jump in, but—
The fact that the other person responds so naturally without becoming wary, or perhaps that he makes them feel comfortable enough to do so… His personality must be incredible.

I’m Rin, a female member.
Teresa Teng, huh…
Lovely~
Mac… Your recent answers (just imagining that you might have been turned down is enough to put me in a bad mood…) and today’s question have completely changed the impression I had of you.
If you don’t mind me saying so, you’re adorable.
No wonder people are drawn to you~
You’re so adorable that I’d genuinely like to get to know you even outside of papa-katsu. Sorry, I said that twice.
I only joined recently, so I haven’t received anything in the form of a gift, but I secretly love it when someone brings me something and says, “This is delicious—I thought we could enjoy it together.”
We’ll finally be able to meet, so I’m going to take a page from your partners and try to spend time together in a way that conveys how I feel.

I’m Meg, one of the female members.
Your heart-melting sweetness made my heart flutter too~
Mac, you’re s-o-o cute☆
(Excuse me!)
That’s definitely the kind of relationship I’d like, too.
Me?
We’re not quite close enough yet for him to give me presents.
Sigh…
Oh, I’ll try imitating you!

Hotel karaoke sounds great!
And a present, too!!
April and May have somehow turned out even better than I expected~
She was so genuinely happy that we met,
and we were able to spend even more time together than usual—slowly, leisurely, and to our hearts’ content.
Love-hotel karaoke, meals at a love hotel… I never expected the level of closeness and satisfaction to be this high…
To the point where I almost can’t imagine eating out anywhere else anymore…
It was such a natural period of deepening our bond that I even found myself thinking, “Maybe it would be nice if this just continued as it is~”
Now it’s already starting to feel nostalgic.
As for the present? I’m truly grateful that she was able to spend so much fun, quality time with me during the coronavirus period. Honestly, that alone makes me more than happy!
I suppose the day will come when having a meal somewhere other than a love hotel feels fresh again…
P.S. My longest-term girlfriend is also staying home because her mother is elderly, and she says they’ll refrain from seeing each other until September… Maybe that’s what real love looks like…
P.P.S. The number of new female members has suddenly increased as well.
Are offers from the festival also flooding in—so much so that the girls can’t accept them all?
What’s the timing like right now?
Mac, making offers in April may have been absolutely the right move!!
Apparently, there’s a huge difference in value between having countless offers now and being practically the only offer someone receives…
If women are having trouble because they’re getting too many offers, then this really is the perfect time for them to join.
