This is true! The hostess clubs that were removed in Yakuza 3's original NA release are back in for the remasters. It's cool and all, just for the sake of having the complete game, but I'll be honest and say that when they made their return in....Yakuza 4?.....I found it pretty uninteresting. At least the management part. I had some fun in actually "dating" the hostesses though.

I remember finding it weird how you could buy items in Yakuza 3 that you can give to people as gifts, but no one to give them to. Then later on I read about the hostesses that were in the Japanese version. There were also other girls you could interact with in the game outside of the hostess club that were removed as well, such as the massage parlor.
Fun fact. When I was in Japan I met one of the girls who were in Yakuza 3. She knew a friend of mine, and hung out for several hours.
Super cool to talk to as she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about older games. The fact that she was in Yakuza 3 didn't come up in any conversation. But I knew she was a celebrity in Japan, and some weeks later saw her name mentioned in relation to a Yakuza article. But I could not remember seeing her in any Yakuza game I've played.
When I saw the Yakuza 3 logo I realized that they had removed all girls from Yakuza 3's western release, which I had forgotten.
So it'll be cool to have her character in the game now. Even though I already know the plot twist of her story, since it's based on her real life story.
By the way, Michiru may be back again.
The person working on the localization of the game tweeted this:
"All cut content restored."
He said the volume of that content is about 25% of the game in terms of characters/letters.

M'kay. I'm a bit jealous. :) That's pretty cool you got to meet her. Weren't some of the girls in Yakuza, 2, 3 and 4 and maybe 5...um...JAV stars? I'm working off memory here.
Just looked it up, and yes, there were some JAV girls in the games, even in Yakuza 6.
As far as Michiru, the tweet said cut content restored. Since Michiru was never cut to begin with, I still think she will be gone.
