Recently, some female members have been uploading videos to their profiles that are nothing more than a series of still images. What do you think? Personally, I don’t see the point and wish they’d stop.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here with an answer. “A video made by stringing together still images.” Didn’t you notice that’s what you wrote? They’re photos in video format. In other words, instead of only six photos being uploaded as before, 20 or even 100 photos are being uploaded. If you’re thinking, “But it’s a video, right?” Try to be a little more open-minded. Pause it, and they’re photos. Of course, people who think six photos is already too many and that one is enough may not need it. But were you the type who thought one photo was enough and never looked at the second one or any after that? Or was even a blurred image enough for you? Maybe you’d make an offer based on just the written profile, without any photos? If so, you didn’t need the photos after all. If everyone were like you, questioner, we wouldn’t have to take photos, which would help cut costs（笑）

I’m Kazu, a male member. I didn’t realize there were videos like that—I don’t usually watch them. I don’t think the videos themselves serve any purpose, so I don’t see the need for them.

I’m Takei, a staff member. The additional photos capture aspects of each woman’s personality and natural expressions that can’t be conveyed in just six pictures. Do you really feel they’re meaningless? Personally, I think seeing expressions like, “Oh, she makes that face too,” “I prefer her when she isn’t posing so deliberately,” or “Her expression when she loses her balance is adorable” gives people a better sense of her and can help them decide whether to make an offer. What do you think? We may take hundreds of photos of one woman, and sometimes it’s difficult to select only six good ones from them. Could you please tell me specifically what makes you feel the additional photos are unnecessary? Depending on your answer, I may reconsider. Thank you.
