I’m a female member who looks forward to checking this site every day.

This content is machine-translated.
But I was thinking it would be even more exciting if there were a monthly calendar or map of Japan showing, in real time—or at least for today—how many pairs are currently on their first meeting, how many people are arranging dates, and how many dates are scheduled within the next few days (or within a week), preferably broken down by region. Since the site seems to be built with WordPress, I feel that something fairly close to this might be possible even with a good plugin or similar. What do you think? I realize the development and management costs might be too high, but even simple numbers would be fun—for example, displaying something like “〇 people are currently on dates! Find your date partner too!” prominently in the top section of the homepage. I always enjoy reading the customer testimonials, but it seems they are only uploaded quite some time later, and only comments from people who have agreed to publication are posted. I feel it would be nice to show the bigger picture and make things feel more real-time. Sorry for making such a demanding request through the question box...

I’ll have our representative, Kida, answer as well. It’s a bit of a demanding request, but it’s an excellent suggestion. We’ll do our best to implement it someday. With the mentions of WordPress, above-the-fold content, and plugins… Are you perhaps in IT—or in the same industry? (Haha) At present, we manage date-setting coordination on a cloud server using Microsoft Access as the front end, rather than through the web. Since we compile confirmed date information and send it back to our affiliate sites as CSV data, it’s technically difficult to display the current date activity in real time as numbers. But wait. If we establish a system for importing the CSV files, it may not be impossible after all… Actually, we could do it. I’m curious too—for example, how many couples are on dates at a given time today. We’ll implement this feature in some form during the next renewal, probably in 2021. And thank you for bringing up the customer testimonials section as well! I never imagined there were people who looked forward to reading it. As for that, the posts aren’t updated in real time so that specific individuals can’t be identified as thinking, “They’re writing badly about me!” Also, our system is to upload three or four articles together for each branch. Since these are stories from after the dates, I feel that the authenticity of the content is more important, even if it’s delayed by about a month. So I think it’s probably best to leave things as they are. In any case, thank you very much for your valuable ideas and feedback.

Maezawa here—I’ll answer as well. Thanks for the interesting idea. It could help us differentiate ourselves from other clubs one step further. However… > It might involve too much development and maintenance cost. Isn’t that exactly the issue? Also, when all is said and done, there are periods when not that many people are actually on dates. If someone checks and always sees that nobody is on a date, they might start thinking about canceling their registration. For example, there may be people on dates around 6 or 7 p.m., but at 5 p.m., it wouldn’t be unusual to see zero people. Also, someone who meets up at 6 or 7 p.m. may finish by 9 p.m. if it’s dinner only. Even if they spend more time together afterward, they’ll often be done by 11 p.m. So someone who always checks around 11:30 p.m. might think, “Nobody’s ever on a date. Is this club okay?” > It seems that only comments from people who have agreed to publication are posted, so I think it would be better to show the full picture and make it more real-time. There’s a limit to what the club can do on its own, since we can’t post comments from people who haven’t consented to publication. But it would be possible if every woman agreed to have her comments posted, so I suppose that’s the key point. The posts aren’t updated in perfectly real time, but the system is designed to publish them fairly close to real time.
