Yeah Akari.Kind of butchered her name there XD

What an odd job.Its like a company for when you are having dinner or just going to a bar.I mean, it must be nice, because those woman must be pretty easy going and really entertaining to have a conversation, due to the nature of her job, but that kind of job description is usually relagated to a less type of honorable line of work in the west.At least thats the first thing that came to mind.

I think it has to do with some Japanese people being too busy with work to develop relationships.  So, when they're lonely, they go to a Host or Hostess club and spend money in exchange for attention.  The job of the Host/Hostess is to coerce visitors into buying expensive drinks and food.  My understanding is that it can be shady or non-shady, depending on how far they want to go for money.  Some become escorts who do nothing more than go on dates with steady clients.  

I remember reading that some Japanese game developers like to talk business at Hostess clubs.  It's apparently a common thing to take business clients out to a hostess club.

Oh, interesting!

But just as a side note:Im not trying to downplay their job, and it is obviously not the ssame thing, but escorts in general do the same thing.Many mens and woman they seek them also dont want to do sex or anything of the sort, rather they just want someone to talk to, like a teraphy sessions.

Thanks for the clarification.
