Maezawa from the President’s Office here as well.
First, please contact Maezawa through the inquiry form next to the question box. I can at least look into why this happened.

As for the main issue, only the person who wrote it knows why they made that judgment.
Since naming the person specifically could cause problems, let me give an example.
Someone registered as B and told the interviewer that she was more on the C side. However, when I looked at what seemed to be an internal memo describing her as more A-like, it said:
“She has a very pleasant personality and gives a good impression, but something feels slightly off.”
So it seemed that the interviewer’s intuition had influenced the assessment. I mean, what exactly does “something feels slightly off” even mean? But with so many people misrepresenting their relationship type, intuition unfortunately becomes an important factor.
The memo also said:
“She says her feelings are C, but when you listen carefully, she seems more A-like.”
It didn’t say exactly what led them to that conclusion, but perhaps something came up during the conversation.
It also said:
“She has met several people through apps, but only went out to dinner with all of them.”
I suspect that, at this point, they decided their intuition had been right: that she was actually A, and that even at Universe Club she was only looking for dinner-only (no intimacy) arrangements.
In reality, as she explained, she was more on the C side and was open to an adult relationship (intimate) from the first date. However, she thought it might be difficult to turn someone down if he turned out to be strange, so she registered as B while explaining that her actual feelings were C.
I think she may simply have been judged based on something else she said during the conversation.
> More than half of the people who received offers from me ended up developing a relationship, so my track record should be fine.
Since C indicates a 50% chance of developing a relationship, she is exactly in the middle of C.
If “more than half” actually means over 80%, that would be enough to qualify as D.
Of course, this was written based on the interview. So, if she has another photo shoot scheduled, she could subtly emphasize her C status by saying something like:
“Most of the people I’ve met ended up developing a relationship with me. Thank you for always introducing me to so many men.”
Or she could ask:
“I’m wondering if I should change to D. Do you think I should remain C?”
(Though she should ultimately leave it as C.)
I don’t really want people relying on little tricks like these, but if she’s been labeled A, I can’t help feeling that something like this may be necessary.
Of course, there may have been a clear reason for the assessment. We won’t know what approach to take without looking at the data from the interview.
Since additional comments can be added during a new photo shoot, if one is already scheduled, there should still be time to address this.
I’m It’s Me, a male member.
I agree with Mac.
A small-minded man wouldn’t have told you that, since he wouldn’t want your offers to increase. I think he’s a generous person who wants to support you and help you grow.
I hope you continue building a great relationship!
I’m Basil, a male member.
If the staff member interviewing her is young and inexperienced, there’s no way they can truly understand what she’s thinking deep down. And if they’re a man, they probably haven’t experienced this kind of activity themselves.
When you have your photos retaken, make it clear: “I registered as a Type C because I needed money, and more than half of my relationships progressed further.”
I’m Paper Airplane, a male member.
If you chose Type C, I think you’ll still receive a reasonable number of offers, so you probably don’t need to worry too much.
The bigger question is whether the staff’s comments can be trusted in the first place.
Even if they can, there’s only so much they can tell from an interview. So if you clearly explained your choice of Type C and what was discussed regarding the videos and so on, I think offers will come from men who like you.
That said, “Type C, but possibly actually Type A” is a huge contradiction… If a staff member really wrote that, it seems pretty irresponsible, or at least rather odd.
Even if someone is labeled that way under Type B, I would still make an offer, so I wonder how it would be interpreted in the case of Type C.
If she’s a Type C leaning toward B, I’d make an offer, so I might even make one if she were genuinely Type A.
When you have your photos retaken, they’ll add to your comments, so I think you should also talk about your track record and anything else you feel is relevant.
If there’s positive feedback, they’ll probably add that to the comments as well.
Otherwise, if your relationship rate is only around 50%, it’s somewhat ambiguous, and people may interpret that as Type B or leaning toward B.
