The first guy wearing North face jacket is so up to the point and straightforward and doesnt stop midway without fully explaining his viewpoint. He seems like myself We can be friends. I couldn't help laughing at the replies he gives 😂
You are an amazing interviewer, really know how to carry the interview. And this is amazing comprehensible input too. Thank you for doing this.
That guy who actually spoke his mind was based.
as always a good and interesting interview, with good follow up questions ;)
The gaijin factor helps lots, most interviews made by Japanese TH-camrs fail to get this reactions.
Hope this channels grows much more, that is why I like every video pretty much.
The quality of the content is superior no doubt.
@@lmclrain for sure, but it is rare in general to have interviews with follow up questions that actually have depth to them too. Love seeing the ones that just kind of "stumble" people a little and make them go "huh I did not really think this deeply about it, but that is why" etc.
This will for sure grow, and hopefully keep the good content :)
@@Souldk86 sure, lets just keep liking all the vids, dude
that helps lots
The first guy didn't mince words.
Dam. The first guy spitting facts.
He woke up and chose violence. 10/10
Except you have to be intelligent to be able to converse with a myriad of different types of people who want to talk about a variety of things...and not just talk but be engaging and entertaining enough to have them coming back and asking for you. He summarily dismissed them all as meatheads without considering this salient point.
@@gordonbgrahamI doubt they know much about quantum physics, world politics, architecture etc. I’m sure the majority Are in fact meatheads. They really spend most of the time trying to build emotional attachment. So maybe they are also decent listeners.. although there’s probably a minimum amount of money they have to get out of a girl before they start remembering what they hear lol.
These guys aren’t intelligent brother.
1000%

Thank you, your videos are really interesting, I think the first guy tells it how it is. Everyone you interviewed really seemed to have a handle on it 👍
Damn! You always find the best subjects 👍🏻
As someone who used to be a host, I can say there are definitely extremely smart people that work there. But there's a big dichotomy between many of the cast members.
Many places will let anybody become a host, but what ends up happening is they don't make any money and are just helpers for the other hosts.
To make money, you can't just be "イケメン." You have to think about how conversation flows, how to make people feel special, how to promote yourself and carry yourself. The ones that are #1 have every bit of their personality meticulously thought out.
so manipulative? i guess that's also a skill in itself
Host clubs are little different from vtubers. Vtubers also pretend they don't have boyfriends to get money from vulnerable men. Host clubs seem better because you can actually meet and talk to handsome men and drink with them.
I would also like to hear the opinions about hostess club’s (kyabakuras etc.)
In the US “host clubs” are called strip clubs because the hosts take their clothes off. But, they try to get you to buy expensive drinks and give them money to rub up against your body.
Like drinking coffee. It has no nutritional value and you can't "keep" it. It's just a fleeting pleasure. Playing computer games is the same. It's not "real" per se, but it's pleasurable. A lot of relationships are also "fake". For example, those in which men just want to have a girlfriend for sex and nothing more, but feel they have to mislead the girl to get what they want. I don't see anything wrong with paying for someone's company, if you're lonely or bored and can afford it. It also helps distribute money in a trickle-down economics way. Many of those hosts can't find well-paying jobs so the affluent women who are executives or have husbands make exorbitant money while laborers slave for their minimum wages can re-distribute the wealth a little. It's a win-win situation.
Good interviews.
I noticed something interesting. Being a host is mainly about charisma and speaking skills. Many people mentioned that the most important trait a host can have is good speaking skills(7:52)(10:21). A host needs to create a. Looks are a bonus, but not required.
Straight women going to gay bars is probably the closest host club equivalent experience I can think of in Western countries.
This guy is like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his hey day. Confident, witty and cheeky.
so its real life onlyfans?
It is not sex related, females just pay to talk and drink. Most of the customers are lonely ppl.
Yes, japanese females can be real simps paying like $250 for a champagne just to talk.
Only, it's conversation and drinking company...rather than a genitalia exhibition
False sense of belonging, you end up paying for services while you could put that money in yourself, find a nice relationship and flourish...instead you end up in endless loops that keep you safe so you dont ever feel like you have to get out of this....short term pleasure ofc, cause you need to redo it over and over and over again....makes me sad.

Host clubs are really baffling to me as a westerner
How about porn? Is that baffling, too? What about paying $10 for a $2 beer because you're at a bar and not at home?
Very good interview, the people who responded certainly thought about their answers, the first guy was very honest and he'd be right, while the second two guys broke me up with laughter of their host promotional efforts.
I don’t think there are “host clubs” in the West for women or men-brothels perhaps, or pickup bars. Not similar, in any case.
I was aware of host clubs but never knew some of the grim details to them. It does make sense. Seems like a seedy side of Japan that’s rarely talked about. Just like gambling, you gotta be careful and go in moderation at best. Can’t help but feel that one girl who went and quit last year probably burned through a lot of her money.
Host clubs that target females have recently been targeted by law enforcement in Japan. Many of them tout the females, take them into the 'club' / venue and then have them rake up huge bills for over priced alcohol + Once they run up the bills they are then trapped ! Forced to pay up OR drag someone else in as another victim! The one doing so may get some of their bill reduced BUT ?! Don't get suckered re the so called 'regular customer' spiel. What was uncovered was shockingly criminal.
Very pragmatic people
That guy is a fucking gigachad, holy shit!
I think the host would have still talked to her, if she said hi to him. Without money. Just say hi.
He's clearly trying to degrade the women and men in this. "Are you proud of this?" What kind of a question is that? It was meant as an insult.
We don’t have an “idol” culture in the west. We just have Strip Clubs. There is no competition for “number 1” or any nonsense like that. Although they may try to get you to buy drinks but that money just goes to the bar. We don’t have Host culture. Probably because the normalcy of guys and girls talking and hanging out is 100k times more prevalent and normal here than in Japan. Japan needs a Love/Freedom Revolution lol.
I’m down to get out there on the front lines and lead the charge. 🤷🏽♂️🥳🙌🏽✨🫶🏽
"guys who are good at talking"..."unintelligent" Two different opinions that don't match. Interesting
Good at talking bs, I guess.
@@snowcountry322 Most of the women who frequent those places are executives who can afford it. The chubby face girl at the end gets it. Others need it explained to them. It takes charm and wit to be engaging.
How come you interview many of the same people in different videos on different days? Are they acquaintances of yours?
He asked many questions on the same day, then edited the footage and sorted it by topic... duh lol
The same people are wearing different clothes and are at different locations. Don't assume everyone's mind is as dull as yours.
@@locusstandi8329 They're not lmao
@@japaneselearning3892 They are jackass. Are you colourblind as well?
based guy
Uhh, there are men strip clubs in the western countries.
I don't know of hostess clubs in the west. I'm from the west and travelled to many countries and I think of hostesses and hosts both as Japan specific things. There are girly bars in some other countries but my impression is that those are more like strip clubs or prostitution that hostess clubs in Japan are?
in other words, both male and female prostitution are equally bad and should not exist. not only because of moral issues, but also because they devalue emotional and bodily joys
Rather...they DO exist because there is a need for such professions. Morality is simply the agreed upon behaviour, implicit or explicit, between two or more people. As long as both parties agree then there is nothing morally wrong (unless one of the parties is underage and has yet to understand the repercussions one could experience as a result of some action others find reprehensible).
Japanese nightlife drink way too much and don't really dance or enjoy the party...very unhealthy way of having fun...
The host business is sure the most unhealthy part of this nightife...
Typical of a country without God, I'm praying for Japan 🙏💚
A bit pointless interviewing people that wear face masks.
