With so many women, are there any who are surprisingly good—like being listed as Gold but performing at a Black level—or who make you wonder, “Why isn’t she Platinum or Black?”

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. Thank you for your question. It’s fairly common for women who seem like they belong in the Black tier to be listed as Platinum or around that level. Occasionally, they’re even placed in Gold. Even among the staff, there are plenty of cases where we wonder, “Why is this woman in this class?” And in reality, offers can sometimes pour in, leading to her profile being hidden almost immediately. On the other hand, I think part of the fun is discovering those hidden diamonds.

I’m Taro, a male club member. They definitely do exist. A club’s ranking is based on its assessment of how popular a woman is likely to be. But it’s not 100% accurate, so sometimes women in lower-ranked classes get flooded with offers, while women in higher-ranked classes receive none. Also, individual tastes don’t always align with what’s popular overall. If you’re a man who simply wants to date attractive women without being too particular, you’re probably better off making offers to women in the higher classes. It’s like someone who only listens to songs at the top of the charts, or chooses whatever the provider recommends as “highly recommended” or “popular.” People like that probably won’t feel much of a gap. On the other hand, if you have your own strong criteria for judging people—like someone who buys CDs of songs they love even though those songs are completely overlooked by the public—you’ll probably find more situations where you feel a disconnect from the class rankings.

I’m Kazu, a male member. There have been times when I thought someone listed as Standard was actually Platinum. I mentioned that to the staff, but they said, “I guess it comes down to personal preference,” haha. Either way, I was lucky to be able to make an offer to a Platinum woman while paying the Standard introduction fee.
