Where/how do you guys find such delightful people to talk to? She was so fun. Loved the shared dolphin laughter and the shock at scammers on gay apps trying to get money; Chiba-san clutching her pearls: "oh the gays are so uncivilized". That app icon was classy a.f. too, so I wouldn't even blame her for thinking that.

Another really fun bar talk, loved it as always! I'm a lesbian so I was particularly delighted to see this one! By the way Meng, I don't know if you get told this often, but in my native country Indonesia, the word "meng" is a common informal word for "cat" (short for "meong" which means "meow"). So Meng really was born a bottom (neko) like he said LOL xD

Chiba-san is such a ball of positive energy! I love her smile especially (and she doesn't look like in her 40s at all!) For me as well, I had a lot of 新しい発見 from this conversation because I don't have any lesbian friends (love the Bian Cé term, sounds so fab 🤣). Love that part too where you both were comparing how gays use apps versus "bians" and how its normal for gays to go inside a stranger's house. That had me cackling so hard I almost choked on my coffee 🤣. And can I just say, I can't stand people who try to scam others on apps. I've come across those kinds of people so many times and it just tires me and as what Andrew said, 時間の無駄. Please give us peaceful online dating (or hookups 😅). I'm excited to explore Nichome soon! And also, both of you look fresh and stunning here. Love you guys and take care ❤️

Brilliant interview/discussion. Fascinating. You should do more on being a lesbian in Tokyo. At least for me as a gay man, it's both very familiar territory, related, "kindred" - and at the same time very different, unfamilar, remote and unknown - in a very refreshing way. You two are the perfect explorers to communicate it all in vivid, informative terms which are obviously as appreciated by lesbian women (as seen here on this page) as by other gay men like me.

Andrew looks so cute boxing for the camera and skipping down the street! "Boyish bottom" is a term I can, um, get behind. It sounds like it would be better if there were more lesbian bars there, but in my city, there are zero, and I think this is sadly typical of the States. So, I'm glad there's more lesbian representation among the bars in Tokyo. Could one of you give a little cultural lesson in Nichome and Kabukicho, and why they would be dangerous or scary? Is there a real fear of violence, or is it the reticence of gays and lesbians in Japan to be in LGBT-identified spaces? Would they feel the same about attending the movie house that shows gay movies you showed us a couple of weeks ago?

@Tokyo BTM I’m no expert but, I think the reason gay men love female artists is because of the male gaze. Gay men and women (in general) are subject to a patriarchal world where they are always conscious of the systematic oppression or manipulation of being a man or women in a patriarchal dominate society. And I think for gay men we see these strong Idols who are strong even in this twisted society and we idolize that strength and power and wish to emulate that. There are many studies that show Gay men and straight women and surprisingly even Bisexual people tend to have lower senses of self satisfaction on their bodies and confidence of self than Straight men and Lesbian women (both of which) tend to rank higher than gay men, straight women and even bisexual persons. Which I think is why Gay men and lesbians and straight women may gravitate to female idols more. But more research needs to be done as there isn’t much done on trans gender, asexual, and other persons(sorry I don’t know too many others ).

I'd love to visit Shinjuku! Seems like a great place to meet people from different districts. These lesbian-bars are a nice touch, since I'm into girls too. We need more places like this where we can feel comfortable without the massive presence of straight men trying to take us to their beds (it won't happen btw)

You can eat dinner here too, so that might be an option if you don't want to drink. I think that is what is great about these smaller bars. Part of the experience is for the owner to start talking about random stuff with you!

I think there are a number of lesbian bars in Japan, it's just that there isn't as many as gay ones. Hopefully we can cover more in the future to expand on this.
