The negative sides of being a Japanese host, trust me, there's quite a lot. A typical host club in Japan isn't all fun and games, and the job of being a host in Japan isn't really that great. The pay is usually pretty crap, you have to put up with a lot of shit, the customers can be very rude, and you might need to prostitute yourself. While there's clubs in all major cities, Tokyo host clubs are certainly abundant, the main ones are found in Osaka. If you don't know a lot about what a Host is in Japan, then I suggest you check out my introductory video on hosting, found here: "Japanese Host Club - An Introduction" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDNzVdI6aKI -------------------------- Follow me on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/TokyoZeplin Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/TokyoZeplin Or my music website/blog: www.zeplin.jp -------------------------- I have a playlist dedicated to the Japanese host culture, so be sure to check that out here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDE3TCzOw_KNr4ejA18R6w4uBKzoqouI0 Also be sure to check out my playlist with videos on Japanese culture here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDE3TCzOw_KNDUEELu_lePDqszlcnOIQZ The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief is a 2006 documentary film by Jake Clennell, describing a host club in Osaka. The male hosts and their female customers are interviewed, and through the interviews we learn about the nature of hosts clubs and why the customers are coming there. You can see more on the official website: http://www.thegreathappinessspace.com/ You can also find the host documentary on veoh, netflix, and a lot of other movie services. It's a great documentary on the Japanese host culture, what it's like to work in a host club in Japan, and really gives insight in the Japanese male host culture. Here's a few other good videos on the subject: "I went to a Host Club in Japan" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6g6K00gJeM For first timers (girls) it's $1,000 Yen no matter what. And it comes with HUGE drink. When they have a new customer their MAIN goal isn't to make money, but to make sure they are enjoying themselves so you win their hearts and they become a loyal customer. If they charged their first timers tons of money, they most likely wont return. bussiness. also forgot to talk in the video that me and this host drew each other. he loved my art skill and one of the body guard host kept looking over and forgot to do his Job haha. And he was also a Manga fan and we talked about our fav Mangas haha Funny Story: When I entered the host club they didn't greet me like their suppose to in a group because they thought I was a host boy in training. HAHA no JOKE! So they gave me werid looks for few seconds in dead silent until my host said something. "Host Club" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-lnOhhl8M0 Host clubs -- the male equivalent to the more common hostess clubs in Tokyo -- mostly cater to rich women who pay for the company of young men. Other customers include hostesses from nearby clubs who bring their male clients over, and even normal, attractive girls intrigued or bored enough for a rare visit. Some girls spend huge percentages of their salaries for their once-a-week or once-a-month.

A lot of things goes on behind these "host" clubs. Stories of rich women spending over $10,000 during a single night is not uncommon. Celebrities are among the customers as well.
