    Vanessa - This refers to a system employed in Japanese hostess and strip clubs. You, the dancer, meet a customer (new or old) for dinner in exchange for him coming to her club afterwards. The club will pay a bonus to you when you bring him through the door. You are responsible for cultivating repeat business from patrons by calling them up and inviting them to dinner, etc. If you go to Japan, I strongly encourage you to invest in a temporary cell phone, and have your stage name, e-mail address, and cell number printed up on a set of professional-looking meishi (business card). Remember to hold it out with both hands when you give it out. When you receive a business card from patrons, also receive it with both hands and then ask him how to pronounce the last name and ask him what the characters mean. It's considered polite; they don't like it when you just shove it in your pocketbook.

    One thing: as at home, never, ever leave your drinks unattended. Do a Google search on Lucy Blackman. I don't want to scare you off going to Tokyo, but what happened to her is a cautionary tale of what can happen when a girl is naive and too trusting of strangers.

    I never stripped in Japan, but I lived there, and hostessed in Osaka. There I was behind a bar and just had to sing karaoke, giggle, pour sake, and light cigarettes. BTW, you should also always carry a lighter for their cigarettes, and also you always pour their drink for them. If you have any questions about anything Japan-related PM me and I'll do my best to answer. Japan is a fascinating country and while it wasn't always easy living there, there was never a dull moment. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I would definitely go back. Good luck!
