I’ve been registered as a female member for about a year.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. When you have your photos retaken, your rank may be raised if the staff think, “Wow, she’s really changed this much?” However, if your rank is raised just because you’ve become a little prettier, offers may suddenly stop coming in. So I think they generally play it safe and leave the rank as it is. Regardless of whether your rank goes up, if you’ve become more attractive, I feel it’s worth having your photos retaken.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Your class can change when you have new photos taken, for example. My impression is that class changes are influenced more by the number of offers and feedback than by looks.

I’m Fuu, a column writer. I’ve seen women move up a class after having their photos retaken. It’s really rare, though. I’ve been looking at profiles in the Standard and Gold classes for three years, and I vaguely remember about four girls I’d favorited moving up after a reshoot. Their profiles often say that they were promoted based on a combination of factors: looking prettier, losing weight, having a better figure, appearing more alluring, responding well to the club, being pleasant to deal with, and having no bad feedback in the past—along with positive feedback. Good for you for working hard on your diet. Even if you don’t move up a class, I hope your efforts pay off through more offers if your new photos turn out better.
