lol, I've seen Club Prince's pv. It was so weird, I don't think that kind of image suites well with them. I like AcQua though, they can really sing.

i realise there is a documentary about host which won awards last year..!
after watching the video....eventhough there is no translation for it....
i was like....
"Makes me think a lot....muzukashi ne..."

I'll remember to contact you taehyunjin when I go to Japan. Maybe 10 years from now XD Hehe. I still have to learn how to speak Japanese. Working on it now. Little by little ^-^

It would be a nice experience!

Ah that picture Ryoma posted was for his birthday event.

kool, well cloud's pretty hot for a CGI character and Ryoma is hot too.

Omg =D new pictures..
Makoto so sexy as always. Looks like that one guy from KAT-TUN, dunno his name.

ah, this is so exciting..!!

i watched that documentary happiness space and it was... wow.
poor livers poor hosts

well if i ever go to osaka i'm definitely gonna check out a host club.
wait wait, how old do you have to be to go to one? cause i believe taehyunjin said something about hosts being as young as 17?
so, so, could that mean that they take on young clients as well??

so informative ~

AHHH so thats what that documentary was - it was like on tv ages ago on SBS. i watched it cos i was bored.

now i know the name - great happiness space.

hosts seem like their from a different world.

yay i'll be going to Osaka for a few days this summer! But I won't be going to host clubs since i'll be with my professor hahahaha. But it'd be interesting just to see the posters and the clubs lol.

Depends on the club, in Japan the legal drinking age is 20 and there have been busts on host clubs for allowing younger customers to enter their clubs. It's quite frequent, especially recently that before entering a host club, the manager will request to see an ID.




Just request to see Dotonbori street in the evening after around 8PM, that is where all the hosts in Minami, Osaka go to catch customers so you'll likely see about 50 wandering around the streets.

^ thanks for the tip ^^ I hope I don't have a curfew LOL.

-------------------removed

^ lol were they cross dressing or just putting on makeup? Makoto would look more the part if he shaved lol

thanks for sharing the pictures ai0no0ff...makoto is really sexyXD

wow i remember wandering into the east side of the shinjuku station and wondering why there were so many hot guys dressed up in suits
lateri found out i'd wandered into kabukicho, one of the main host districts in tokyo -___-;;

and wow makoto is pretty *__*

AHhh! New obsession!
These guys are gorgeous.
Gosh! If only they have it in america..:[

It would be awesome if we had a soompi field trip to one of these host club!
Bu i think you guys would be too embarrass to be with me cause i will be super cheap and ask for the price of everything. lol
But for sure i will make my friends go when we have money and is old enough!

BTW is it odd for a guy to go to the host club with his girl friends?

Nah, it's not like the hosts will hit on him or anything. Though you need to request if it is ok first because some clubs won't accept male customers, and often time when they do they charge a higher price.

ryoma promoting another issue of mens knuckle

LOLS! OMG ............ew?

sighhh

host boys are so fun
even when they cross dress, it's hard to imagine feeling like the crazy monetary loss wasn't worth it. I bet I'd have a ton of fun laughing hysterically and taking pics

ooh, i see i see!
thank you host club guru
so i have to wait until i can raid the host clubs. wahaha~~....
i agree. us soompier's should have a field trip to host clubs
hahahaha we can point out their pictures on this thread and scare them o.o

^ that would be awesome and im sure they would be like how the hell do you know us

Are any of you familiar with YUKAI LIFE? It's a monthly host magazine... Mostly information on the clubs, but usually has a featured host, comes with posters, etc... And event reviews.

...um...these might be stupid questions, but how does host clubs make money? is it mostly from the drinks the customers buy/ paid???? what if you're alcohol intolerant, is there any possibility of drinking tea or something else?

i would think they have other drinks like water


and most money is made from admission and the expensive licqour

ok.....thanks for the info.

HAHAHHHA!
his head is ... very large?

i love this thread :D always brings a smile to my face, esp. the pictures!

They have a soft-drink menu such as juice, soda, tea, etc.

Hosts don't only make money from selling drinks. Think of drinks as commission, the more a host gets his customer to drink, the more money he makes. Other than that, he gets his hourly wage, which is quite low, also just to enter a host club can cost up to 5000yen (about $50.00USD) for 1-2 hours.

You are in no way forced to drink or to buy drinks for the hosts, but is polite to at least treat your host to one drink, and have a drink yourself.
