-Hello my lovelies.
How are you doing today?
Or evening.
I don't know.
Who cares?
So I want to do a video-- as I said before, in the past--
on butler cafes.
Now, butler cafes are sort of the [? Gaigan ?] version
of host clubs in Japan.
I haven't actually found any that
are outside the major cities.
The only ones that I know of are in Tokyo,
and I might, in the past, have seen a website for one
in Osaka.
I'm not entirely sure.
So, what are they?
They basically follow the same concept as a host club.
So if you don't know what they are-- link.
But they basically follow the same concept,
except that at a butler cafe, the staff is generally
male foreigners, blonde.
Because we all know a butler-- butlers are obviously
British blonde people.
Who doesn't know that?
And it's not really a nighttime thing.
It's more a daytime thing.
Instead of beer and drinks, it is cakes and coffee or tea.
You know, tea.
A lady drinks tea.
And those are the main differences.
Otherwise, it basically follows the same concept.
It's just moved over onto a sort of caricature
of a foreign butler, and sort of allows Japanese women
to live out their sort of butler fantasy of being
a British queen, in some aspect, and live that out
in Japan instead.
But again, pretty much the same problems as with host clubs.
Fall into that, and-- ahh.
Smoke in my eye.
Any smoker knows the pain of this.
Anyway.
Focus.
Anyway.
So the same problems as before.
You're probably not going to make very much money,
and if you are still going to be bossed around,
it's not going to be perfect.
There's not a lot of personal contact,
and certainly the whole sex aspect of it
is-- prostitution aspect of it is-- a lot less
than in the host clubs, as far as I understand.
But you are a lot more expect it's
going to like carry the women around.
Because, you know, butlers apparently carry the women,
and sort of otherwise have normal conversations with them.
I think a lot more of it works in English.
I think they actually prefer that you seem as {Gaigan-ish}
as humanly possible.
The jobs, as far as I understand,
are fairly difficult to get, because a lot of foreigners,
the men, think that it's going to be an easy job,
and a lot are applying for them, basically.
The main things that you have going for you for applying
for that job is being decently good looking, blonde.
Blue eyes would definitely be a plus.
But again, the pay is very low.
As far as I know, it's not something
that you can get your visa sponsored for.
I think since it's not really considered
sort of adult entertainment, you might
be allowed to do it on a normal working visa, so it's just
a working holiday or part-time if you're a students.
But, yeah.
That's basically what a butler cafe is.
It's sort of the [? Gaigan ?] version of a host club.
So if you didn't know that, now you do.
If you've ever been to one or seen one,
I'd love to hear about that, so let me know in the comments
down below.
And don't forclick-- uh, don't forclick?
Don't forget to rate, maybe throwing
a little Favorite in there, and subscribe,
if you haven't already.
I'll see you in the next video.
Bye.
