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.
