I just want to have fun and make some great memories. Honestly, I’d rather prioritize experiences and memories over the allowance.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here as well. Thank you for your question. I think it’s nice to go together to places that ordinary couples would visit. For example, even when it comes to meals, it could be fun to try a different place each time and discover new favorites. Going to the movies or karaoke would be good too. If traveling farther is an option, fruit picking could also be fun when the season is right. Grapes come in so many varieties that even if you buy just one bunch of each, you could end up with around seven bunches. Then you can compare them after you get home—though maybe that only sounds appealing to people who love fruit? Strawberry picking would be great during strawberry season too, since there are so many varieties. Visiting caves in different parts of the country can be quite enjoyable as well, although the time inside the cave goes by quickly. In that sense, just like with any trip, the place where you eat afterward may end up being what you remember most. You could also visit castles, including castle ruins, or go around trying famous soba restaurants in different areas. When it comes to outings, there seem to be plenty of possibilities.

I’m Joe. 1. Tea-Picking Experience Although it’s only available during certain seasons, how about trying a tea-picking experience? The one Joe tried was at Ureshino Onsen. After picking the tea, there’s a class on how to brew it. Since you brew the tea you picked yourself using the method you were taught, there’s no way it can taste bad. The three busty Hakata girls, as well as Sakura-chan, really enjoyed it. Joe has done it more than four times, so he’s fairly good at brewing tea by now. What about at night? Naturally, my d*** goes in too, but unfortunately, I haven’t gotten much better at that part. 2. The Drowned Corpse Club This is limited to Okinawa, but Joe runs the Drowned Corpse Club. Despite the name, it’s not any kind of special play—in short, it’s snorkeling, with Osamu as the club president. It’s much more casual than diving, but in Okinawa, you can still fully enjoy the ocean’s mysterious beauty. You can do it year-round, though winter is actually the best season. Last weekend was warm and pleasant, so seven members became “drowned corpses” at Sunabe Beach, said to be the best diving spot on the main island. Once we got back on shore and warmed each other up, the cold seawater felt more like foreplay. Seven people in the jacuzzi was a little cramped, but I thought being cramped together wasn’t so bad once in a while.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. Most of the dates that women have rated highly were ones where I did something that exceeded what they had imagined. For example, I told her we were going to an aquarium, arranged to meet early in the morning, and took her to Haneda Airport—then we flew to Okinawa to visit Churaumi Aquarium. She said she was shocked. Apparently, when I parked at Haneda, she thought, “Wait, we’re going to an aquarium, right? Is there an aquarium at Haneda?” Everything after that was a surprise to her. Since I’d planned the whole thing as a surprise, it worked exactly as intended. (Haha.) Since the man usually takes the lead when it comes to planning a surprise date, why not ask your papa (a male supporter), “I’d love to go on a date that really surprises me”? It’s harder for a woman to come up with a surprise herself. If you’re thinking of something a little naughty, how about suddenly teasing him through his clothes in the middle of town, then smiling when he looks surprised? I think cute little pranks like that can be fun. If the plan is to get intimate after dinner, you could also tease him beforehand and build up the anticipation.

I’m Taro, a male member. People get more excited when there’s an element of competition. For example, you could play a best-of-three at an arcade, with the loser having to do a predetermined punishment game. Simple games like air hockey, basketball shootouts, or UFO catchers work well. Decide on the punishment in advance. If she’s afraid of scary things, you could go to a haunted spot together or visit Fuji-Q Highland. Alternatively, if the man is uncomfortable with that sort of thing, going shopping together for women’s underwear could make for a fun punishment. Ideally, it should be something the two of you can do together—something one person enjoys but the other isn’t good at. The key is to push it just far enough that, although one person dislikes it, they can still manage to endure it, and you can both laugh at their reaction. If she likes karaoke, themed karaoke could be fun. You could limit it to anime songs or play karaoke shiritori, for example. At JOYSOUND, you might finish by singing “Enter the Dragon” one phrase at a time, alternating turns. The only lyric is basically “Achoo!” Younger people may not know it, so some preparation is necessary, but it might get a laugh with someone older. Compete to see who can sing it better while really getting into character. I’m not very good at coming up with anything more adult, but how about trying a game of Twister while naked? With distractions like licking each other, for example.

Oh? What a coincidence. I’m Paper Airplane, a male member who prefers girls interested in the date itself rather than the allowance. It’s touching because it’s a surprise on the day. If you already knew about it beforehand, it’d be nothing special.
