The Truth Behind Japanese Maid Cafés

[@richietherichieguy]

It’s awesome that you visited one of the non-mainstream maid cafes. I heard there was a crazy ramen shop full of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure decorations around there too?

[@Marenat100]

[@russellpotter7294]

Some Maids said that the reason that they hide their faces from camera's out on the street. Is that the cafe can charge for photos once in the cafe. Which made sense as opposed to any other reason. Must be hard work making polite conversation with customers and singing and dancing and preparing things. Great fun seeing inside a cafe.

[@ashenaura]

I a way, they are modeling, so I agree that they ought too charge for photos and videos they appear in.

[@jacobk626]

Yea, screw builders, wielders, carpenters engineers, teachers, doctors, truck drivers, restaurant chefs, Fishers...etc. When I think of a hard job I think of Cafe Maids...

[@tanginanyolahat]

@@jacobk626 English is not my primary language, but as I understand, Russel did not mean that other jobs are not hard. Isn't it true when you say: "It must be sad to lose a pet," it does not necessarily mean that losing your mom is not sad at all? They are just different levels of sad, same as jobs having different levels of being hard. I hope I got my point across.

Being alone in a crowded city, it's clear how these could help provide human connection - even if it is a business.

I thought your not allowed to film inside the maid cafe. That's nice that they let you interview them!

They probably won't let just anybody film inside the reason they did was because it was a controlled video hiding the dark secrets behind it and actually makes publicity and advertisement but if you go to Japan you'll find out legal age of consent is 13 and these are horrible things going on in Japan anybody knows the facts about that should be able to see right through these cafes if you go to Japan you'll find out

I hate how robotic and overly formal Japanese customer service is. It is so cold. I've lived here 6 years, and the idea here that service is good is probably the 2nd biggest foreign misconception of Japan. The other being that it is a high-tech nation, when in actual fact it is like living in the 1980s

[@alacarte8635]

I had watched a clip about Tokyo Nightlife and I see no difference of that city than from what any other worldwide city has to offer. I'm thinking of visiting Tokyo in a few years time and that 'living in the 1980s' vibe is part of the attraction for me. I doubt though going to maid cafes is one of the things I'd want to do if I do visit As to your comment about Japanese customer service, I could imagine it would get tiresome after a while but as a short term visitor I would like to imagine it would be part of the charm of visiting another country and sampling their culture as a tourist

Aren't Maid Cafes the vanilla side of the sex industry in particular S&M? And during daylight hours it's vanilla experience, but after nightfall it becomes "seedy" or more "adult" orientated? On the extreme end of the spectrum, don't the seedier Maid Cafes/Bars double as escort bars?

[@whereisrevell]

No. They are not sex dens like the bars in Shinjuku. Just honest cosplay work for hire in a maid setting. The cops would all over that if it were. However, if a client and a girl hit it off privately that is a whole nother thing, but doubtful with a gaijin

[@byghostlight0]

Er what? In theory, there is nothing sexual about maid cafes at all. If some guys get excited about them, thats their own pervy issues. On the tame side of night life you have these, Girls Bar (where you basically have pay for the overcounter company of a bar maid to talk to), then host/hostess clubs, then on the other side thats when things cross to the sex industry. But to suggest Maid Cafes are anything to do with that industry is a leap. (naturally there are SOME are a little less tame)

[@-whackd]

Wow, they sound boring af

[@SystemBD]

No. For the most part, both types of stablishments are kept separated. If nothing else, because the local Yakuza want to keep the prostitution business under their control (it can be a gold mine when it comes to blackmailing influential people).
