Love Colle, Kabukicho

[Whoissalmon]

I'm curious about Love Colle (ラブコレ), a pink salon in Kabukicho.

I found about the place at a Japanese site that lists pink salons. It's one of the four in Kabukicho.

The common wisdom is that Hinomaru is the only pink salon in Kabukicho that accepts gaijin. Noaa (ノア) and Kewpie (キューピ〜) clearly state on their websites that foreigners are not accepted, although only in Japanese. However, unless my eyes deceive me Love Colle has no such mention in their list of people they don't accept: http://tokyo-lc.com/system.html

This is the first time I've ever heard about this place, so I haven't been able to Google anything about it in English. I wonder if anyone here has ever tried to get in?

Here's some more info:

At this point I can almost certainly confirm that this place does accept foreigners, provided that they can assure the tencho about their Japanese skills.

I made the mistake of answering "sukoshi" when asked about my nihongo, and was politely turned around after that. But I got the feeling that if my answer had been something else, I could've gotten in.

Go again next week. It might be a different doorman.

Also for some Japanese all gaijins look the same. They won't remember you from last time.

And walk backwards into the shop, while waving goodbye.

It always works in cartoons!

I have been there two times (same front guy I think). Both times I have been greeted with japanese only. I asked about japanese speakers and had some small chat, so he could access that I speak Japanese, but that didn't change anything. Maybe you can get in, if another guy is there or you look asian, but not too confident about europeans/americans.

 

[John Chavers]

you look asian

This is for the assumed benefit of the primarily Japanese customers who will be seated with you.

Unlike @johnnyboy84, I think these clubs could care less about their working girls' preferences.

According to my research no less than three new pink salons have opened in Kabukicho this year. I don't think making a new thread for them would be necessary, so I'll tell about them here in case someone wants to try their luck getting in.

According to their website Love Colle has been shut down last month, and the same people run Baby Girl in a different location now.

What kind of service can be expected from those places?

 

[Whoissalmon]

Most likely no service at all for gaijin, but I'm eternally hopeful.

Joking aside, these are pink salons. They serve blowjobs for a comparative price, and not much else for customers who aren't regulars. You can read about other such places from other threads.
