It’s already been a month since the start of the new year. It’s also almost been a year since the day the coronavirus began causing concern across society.
This content is machine-translated.
With a state of emergency currently in effect, what is the demand for female members like, and what is the acceptance rate for female member interviews?
I’d like to ask about the situation since the start of the year.
I understand that some information may be confidential, so a general answer such as “the number of interviews has increased, and the competition has been getting tougher recently” would be perfectly fine.
I’m considering applying for an interview, but if demand has changed due to the coronavirus and it’s currently harder to be accepted, I’m thinking of waiting and applying at a later time.
(I want to be accepted, so I’m hoping to avoid applying when competition is especially high.)
Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer your question as well.
Thanks for your question.
> A rough answer is fine.
If you’re considering an interview, now—while the state of emergency is still in effect—is your best opportunity. I think things will return to normal once it ends.
This is the easiest time to get accepted.

I’m Hikoki, a male member.
Rather than treating it as a matter of screening or competition, the staff see their role as helping men and women meet. So they conduct interviews with the aim of passing everyone if possible. If a woman is willing to come in for an interview, I think she’ll almost certainly be accepted.
Especially during the current COVID period, there aren’t that many women coming in for interviews, so in that sense, I think nearly everyone gets accepted.
That said, this isn’t a time when offers are increasing, and the number or quality of women coming in for interviews hasn’t improved either. Because of that, popular women are likely to receive a lot of offers concentrated on them.
During COVID, setting offers may not increase, but letter dates have become extremely—no, surprisingly—popular with women.
Letter dates may make up for quite a bit of that.
P.S. When the goal is simply to provide opportunities for men and women to meet, basically every woman is accepted unless there’s something seriously wrong. If someone doesn’t become popular, there just won’t be any offers, and the men won’t complain. Since it comes down to personal preferences between men and women, it’s difficult to determine whether someone will receive offers or not, which makes deciding to reject someone quite difficult.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
In a recent Q&A, Maezawa from the staff has repeatedly said that now, during the state of emergency, is the perfect opportunity. Since this is supposedly the right time, you should apply for an interview as soon as you read this answer.
By the way, the competition for getting into Universe is nothing. I think the odds of continuing a relationship with a male member are far tougher. Even though I was the one who selected and made the offer, the competition for an ongoing arrangement is over twenty to one.
