I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s Office, and I’ll answer this as well.
Thank you for your question.
I think it’s important to know what goes on between members, including any problems that arise. And when I hear reports that things went well, I find myself feeling glad for them too.
Thanks to the feedback, we also gradually learn what each member is like, which can be useful in helping other members avoid unpleasant experiences.
However, as I’ve mentioned before, it’s incredibly frustrating when a woman posts a warning for other women—saying, “Be careful, this man is like this”—but then shows it to the man involved. He complains, the post gets deleted, and other women continue to fall victim to him.
There’s a scene in Evangelion where they say:
“To think the first casualties at Headquarters weren’t caused by the Angels, but by our fellow humans. It’s unbearable.”
“Humanity’s enemy is ultimately humanity itself.”
So does that mean women are women’s enemies...?

I believe the main purpose of the anonymous survey sent after the fact is to understand how things went after the date, particularly whether there were any problems or trouble.
I assume the club uses that information to improve future matching and arrangements.

I thought the same thing. It’s a subtle question, but a good one.
There’s a button asking whether it’s okay to make your answer public, and if you select “Yes,” it gets published, right? The intended audience is people considering signing up for the club, so in the most basic sense, it’s advertising for the club. But if you write with that in mind, it starts to feel staged. And now that I’m actually doing this, I’ve realized there’s a lot more depth to it, so I’m not sure how I feel about it.
It’s not like a Disneyland attraction—it’s completely different for each person. Honestly, the better the experience, the more important the other person is, and I don’t really want to share all the details.
Also, there’s a checkbox asking, “Why did you choose this person?” when answering, and it’s surprisingly difficult to answer. There are various options, like their photos or comments, but honestly, it’s more that I considered a whole combination of things, so it’s hard to narrow it down.
Eventually, I gave up and selected “zodiac sign,” which I thought was the least likely option. Later, I saw a staff member analyzing the feedback on the staff blog and commenting, “I guess there are romantic men who choose women based on their zodiac signs.” I felt terrible reading that.
I’m truly sorry about that.
