Tokyo clubs are NO LONGER any good. The governor of Tokyo and right wing ultra-nationalistic groups have saturated the media and Japanese minds with anti-foreigner propaganda for the last 12 years, when they came into office. The change didn't happen immediately, but took about 4 years and has done damage the last 8 years. Tokyo has been going DOWNWARD as a party place the last 6 years. The higher yen and Fukushima has speeded up the process.
Not a conspiracy theory, check out- Gaijin Hanzai Ura File from 2007.

This was part of a well funded and CONTINUAL hate campaign against foreigners by various right wing xenophobic groups. This included immigration enforcement policies, books, TV shows, etc...
These racist Japanese groups and propaganda campaigns specifically targeted places like Roppongi, Shibuya, and any place else foreigners and tourists were likely to go.
Most Tokyo clubs are about RIPPING you off for MONEY and entertainment. They will even set you up with FAKE single women that are like bar hostesses that push you to BUY DRINKS.
For many Japanese, they are places to TAKE a date or friends TO, NOT to meet new people.
For most Japanese, Roppongi and Shibuya are places to socialize, often in all Japanese ONLY groups. The foreign music and seeing the occasional foreigner is for ENTERTAINMENT.
They see foreigners talking to a group of Japanese as entertainment. Like CLOWNS at the circus. The clubs see you as a SUCKER (kamo) to victimize for money.
8 years and more ago, some SINGLE Japanese women USED to come to Tokyo clubs and bars to meet guys for sex. NO LONGER. Now, Japanese women come in GROUPS and cock-block any guys that approach and cling to each other like lesbians. Especially foreign guys. And Japanese guys are well known to throw hater salt behind your back by saying odd things to scare Japanese women from talking to foreigners.
You might pull a Japanese woman away from a group, but that will often be LUCKY LOTTO. And how much did you spend traveling to and drinking at that club or bar? Maybe it would be cheaper to buy a BJ or sex from a prostitute.
Having a wingman, doesn't help much, because you are dealing with a group dynamic. Maybe he likes the girl you are talking to, there's jealousy and selfishness, and her girlfriend can cock-block BOTH of you. So, you are just making trying to meet women more complex and need more complex coordinating and planning.
Most foreign guys will ONLY come away with a phone number or email. Many Japanese women are pushed to NOT reply or respond to any foreign guy. This is pushed heavily by xenophobic and racist Japanese and groups. They are told to play games with you and cheat you.
These days, a lot of single Japanese women that want to meet for sex, use the INTERNET for pickup. This technique allows them to HIDE what they doing from family, friends, and co-workers. This way of hiding what she really does is called Honne and Tatemae in Japan
In the old days, she would go to a club or bar FAR from her house (ex- 20 minute train ride away), these days the women shop men like fashion accessories on the Internet.
You are better off meeting Japanese women on the street, coffee shop, train, Tsutaya video store, etc... That is where SINGLE Japanese are at, NOT the clubs.
Going to clubs and bars in Tokyo is usually a waste of time and money. But fine, don't believe me. Go to places like Motown, Gas Panic, or any other crappy club in Roppongi and Shibuya, etc... Waste $50/$100 dollars or 5,000 to 10,000 yen on drinks. The club staff is laughing at you and that group of Japanese in the corner is watching and laughing at you too.
The Tokyo club scene is DEAD. It died secretly years ago. Now it's not about fun sex or meeting new people, it's all about ripping you off for money.
