I’m a male member, and I regularly read this anonymous Q&A site to learn.

I’m Taro, a male member. I’m usually on the night shift, but I felt I had to answer this one. That question was weird, wasn’t it? I don’t think Maezawa-san was speaking on behalf of Universe officially—he was just answering in a personal capacity as the person behind the account. Besides, the guidelines for respondents explicitly say to answer based on your emotions and not to give logically consistent, “official” answers. The fact that the person who asked it failed to pick up on that atmosphere makes it a pretty embarrassing question. If they’re a member of a dating club, I hope they feel ashamed of themselves. I don’t think having sex automatically makes someone an adult. If you’re just going along with rules someone else made, like a student, and enjoying complaining about whether they’re good or bad, then you’re not really being an adult. Even though society at large may not understand it, facing your own desires honestly and wandering around trying to find a point you can live with—that’s actually quite an advanced thing to do. It’s not exactly something you can brag about to other people, though. As for this topic, it’s normal for the respondents not to agree with one another. Isn’t it perfectly normal for people to have different values and opinions? In a relationship this far outside the norm and living in such a gray area, there’s no way there can be one single correct answer. I guess I only feel a little happy when, while answering various questions, someone says, “I’ve been saying the same thing,” or agrees with me. In the first place, I think it’s creepy for any kind of consensus to form about how people should behave in this sort of activity. Getting back to the main point, that question was pretty stupid. About as stupid as the snake that escaped and was caught the other day.

I’m Meg, a female member. I absolutely love your answers, Maezawa-san!!! You’re our family doctor. I want to protect you from strange viruses so you don’t come down with a cold, Doc ☆

I’m Aya, a female member. Whether viewers take Maezawa-san’s answers at face value and act on them is entirely up to them. Personally, I’m not looking for anything particularly entertaining from the Q&A, so I think straightforward answers are perfectly fine. That said, many people asking questions are struggling with their relationships and looking for options, so it’s probably better to have someone who can offer a wide range of perspectives—from common-sense advice to clever, joke-style answers.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. Unlike member respondents, who can simply answer however they like, responding to anonymous questions while representing the club must be difficult. You need a wealth of experience and knowledge to do that.

Sometimes I disagree with you, and there are also times when I think, “Is it really okay to say that?” But I feel that this question box represents a place where even the staff can freely express their opinions as individuals. I don’t agree with every answer either (though there are plenty I do agree with, of course), but I strongly support the way you approach answering them. Marika

I’m Kazu, a male member. I also appreciate Mr. Maezawa’s approach to answering questions. I’m grateful for it. As for why I rate him so highly, please see his answer to question 6960. That said, we don’t always agree, and sometimes I feel he goes a little too far with his wording, doesn’t say quite enough, or makes a lot of conversion errors. (Haha.)
