Tokyo’s nightscape is adorned with spots catering to varied tastes, among which ‘Tokyo Kids’ stands as a well-known urisen (male escort) establishment, promising thrilling encounters. Drawn by the appealing profiles on their website, I decided to visit, only to be met with a reality far different from my expectations.
The boy whose profile suggested a slim and youthful figure was, in person, noticeably heavier by at least 10 kilograms than the photographs suggested. While people’s appearances do change, the discrepancy between the profile information and the reality was quite startling.
Beyond the physical appearance, the spirit of service I had hoped for was also absent. The interaction felt obligatory, lacking the enthusiasm and vitality I anticipated. The routine-like service provision could perhaps point to more deep-seated issues in the establishment’s management than just the boy’s change in physique.
Such an experience serves as a lesson in the risks associated with choosing an entertainment establishment. It reiterates that online profiles are merely a reference point and that the reality may differ significantly. The visit to ‘Tokyo Kids’ taught me that the essence of service provided is intrinsically linked to customer satisfaction, not just the visual presentation.
Ultimately, left with a sense of disheartenment by the gap between the website and the actual experience, I couldn’t help but feel that a more cautious approach is necessary when patronizing urisen shops. Accepting the reality behind a beautiful façade can be challenging, but perhaps it’s a wise stance for modern consumers to adopt.
I’m Ken from Toronto, Canada, and I currently work as an English teacher in Japan. Fascinated by Japanese literature and history, I was drawn to live here to immerse myself further in the culture. I’m actively engaged in the Japanese gay community and have a particular interest in the unique culture of “urisen” bars. Living in Japan has allowed me to act as a bridge between cultures while continuing to grow personally.
