What’s your impression of models and event companions?

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here as well. Thanks for your question. Hmm... You’re paying way too much attention to titles. Of course, someone’s title can be interesting, but what matters more is whether she’s your type and whether you like her enough to feel that she’s worth giving a substantial allowance to. Of course, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with wanting to show off and say, “I was with a woman this amazing,” as if she were an accessory. It’s up to each individual to decide what they value. Still, I feel you might be happier if you looked at other aspects as well. As for your main question: There are fewer events these days, so being an event companion is now a highly selective profession. Especially for major companies, it’s a very competitive field, so a woman who has worked as an event companion for such a company can reasonably be considered quite impressive. Just as models come in various ranks, event companions do too. If you’re going to focus on titles, I think you should at least look into how rare and prestigious that particular position really is. Personally, I don’t care much about titles, so models and event companions seem about the same to me. I think whether she’s my type is more important than her title.

I’m Marika, a female member. Whether she’s a model, an event companion, or unemployed, shouldn’t you simply give a larger allowance to the woman you personally like? I’m not saying everyone should receive the same amount, but are you someone who can only see value in titles—or perhaps someone who lacks confidence in your own values? If you’re the kind of person who says, “I want to pay for status!” then study the hierarchy carefully and make sure you’re satisfied with your choice.

I’m Kazu, a male member. There are all kinds of people who call themselves models, so I don’t think you can make blanket assumptions just because someone is a model. If she has walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week or regularly appears on terrestrial TV, I’d consider that impressive. But other than that, models belong in the same category as event companions and hostesses. So unless she has walked in Paris or Milan or appeared on terrestrial TV multiple times, the allowance I offer is the same whether she’s a model, an event companion, or a hostess. She wasn’t a Miss Universe contestant, but I have paid a seven-figure allowance to a talent who appears on terrestrial TV. It doesn’t have to be quite that exciting, but unless there’s enough of a thrill to make it a memorable experience I can take to my grave, I can only offer my usual allowance.
