As always, this was fascinating. I've always found the idea of hostess clubs intriguing in a uniquely Japanese way, especially compared to what you find in the States.

Interesting and informative article. In Yokohama, I have been to a cabaret in Yokohama. I was told that such places charge the customers a certain ampount by the hour, which is inclusive of basic drinks and hostess' company, but they can also opt to order more expensive premium liquor by the bottle. Is this true?

yep, that make up artist was right: western men dont need hostesses because we are not lame with the ladies. Had a few hostess and mama san girl friends. kawai sou. I always found it ironic having sex with these women, usually after their shifts. There i was getting free pleasure from these women, who were being paid very handsomely by japanese men, to engage in small talk. On quite a few occasions those japanese men indirectly paid my 100k yen/month rent. japanese men are lame, no social skills. in fact thats japanese society in general: social retards. such a pity I've retired from whoring in japan.

Great insight into this world! I know people in this industry from different sides and I'm glad that you were able to not just look at it from just one angle. Like where you mention that the girls have to notice (if they want to be successful) even the slightest changes in people's moods/looks, its not just a job where girls look pretty.
