    Default Scoop on dancing in Japan

    Hi all, I tried to find the thread about Japan but I guess it's way buried. Anyway, there's a girl at my club who just came back a couple nights ago who worked there for a month. Here's what she told me:

    The money is good in general, but (in her opinion) no better than in good money cities in the US. I should add here that she is Puerto Rican but attended English-speaking schools so she sounds American when she speaks English. I should also add that she hasn't danced much in the US and not at all in the last year or two - her opinion of what it's like in the US is definitely skewed. Anyway, she hated working in Japan because of all the rules, requirements and restrictions. She said the Japanese customers have loads of money but they like Australian and Eastern European girls, not American girls.

    She also said working there was like 'bootcamp for strippers'. You have to work six nights per week 7:30pm to 5am, and if you call out sick you have to have a doctor's note. You are requied to carry a purse at work at all times with a pen, lighter, etc and you have to light the customers' cigarettes, seat them, etc - she said you 'practically have to be a geisha'. You also have to get a cellphone so your customers can contact you, and you have to go to dinner with them (at the club's restaurant next door) and sometimes go out with them. She said that wasn't bad because they take you to stores like Luis Vuitton, but she wasn't at all comfortable with the whole thing and couldn't wait to get back here where the men are more gentlemen and we aren't required to see them outside of work. The club and its agents are extremely strict, and it was a general pain in the ass to work there. She said the money is good but not good enough to justify all the hassle and extra work - and that she made the same money with less hassle in US cities like Dallas and Vegas.

    She said the city is great, really safe and the shopping is incredible, but the work was hell.

    So there's what one girl had to say, a girl I know and work with whose opinion and statements I trust.

    I've also been told very similiar stories by many dancers who have worked over in Japan.

    Whilst I am Australian... I have two things that will work against me (well won't make me much money):
    I'm brunette... they love their blondes!
    I'm small breasted... they love their boobs!

    So whilst I have one thing going for me.. I know from other Australian dancers that I need those other two things to do well over there.

    Unfortunately, they love their blonde, blue eyed, big breasted gals.

    I've been wanting to go to Japan but I've been told by more than one agency that I'm too old. I'm 30 and look 25, but it's the birth certificate age that matters. :-(

    Yes, Japanese like 'em blonde and busty, and apparently also YOUNG.

    My friend worked at Private Eyes (most money potential) and went through an agency.

    I think the preference for young looking girls comes from the fact that many Asian girls look at least 10 years younger than their actual age.

    i worked at private eye for a couple of months last year, the money is amazing...if you have the right look but you do have to put the work in...its more about being charming than having blonde hair,,,the customers there want you to talk to them not just dance for them..the money is great x
