This is often debated among PUAs, with people coming in on both sides. My addition to the debate is a perspective not often told, but best understood for those in Japan.
1) Don't get sidetracked from your objective
Your goal is to meet her, NOT all of her friends. And if you never had sex with her or are not her boyfriend, then there is usually NO point in meeting her friends, who you may NEVER see again. AFTER you had sex with her and/or are declared to be the boyfriend, then you can meet all of her friends.
If you already had sex with her, her friends can usually NOT block you anymore. It's a done deal. And often, they can sense that it is too, so are not trying to be disruptive, interfere, keep trying to compete for her, etc...
2) Don't be a victim of tight group circles
This is extremely important for foreigners in Japan to understand, and this can affect Japanese men too. Say you meet a Japanese girl and exchange phone numbers and e-mails. You ask her out, but instead she requests you come meet her friends, or if she can bring her girlfriend(s).
Her friends or girlfriends are members of a tennis club, and suppose you don't play tennis. The flow of the conversations can make you the outsider, look ignorant, or look bad. Furthermore, they can go on about or refer to past experiences that you know nothing about. To include her friends or girlfriends hijacking or side tracking conversations away from what you want to talk about.
So basically, you can be battling her friends for her attention or in these little conversational wars all night, totally wasting your time.
3) Don't be a victim of group dynamics
Odds are great that there can be jealousy from other girls and guys in the group, other guys trying to date her and interfering with you, people in the group not liking you, etc... It's not wise to subject yourself unnecessarily to a group obstacle course.
4) Meet her friends AFTER you had sex, not before
Some people, both men and women, get this all confused. You deal with her friends or her group, when you are 1st meeting her, because it can't be avoided. Only that FIRST time. Like say you are in a club and she is surrounded by her friends/group. Then you have no choice, and must deal with them. Preferably, have a wing-man to help you deal with the group, and who can hype you up.
However, if you already have her contact info and are trying to meet on a date, then AVOID the group/friends. They will only add to problems, interference, blocking, and unnecessary issues.
5) If a Japanese woman REALLY likes you, she will meet you alone
Don't be fooled by double-talk, lying, games, etc... A very nasty and bad trick that Japanese women can play, is to invite you to meet her friends/group, so that you become their ENTERTAINMENT or they abuse your MONEY to pay for food and drinks. How this bad Japanese game is played, is she will invite you to show her girlfriends or group how POPULAR she is. "See, all these guys want me so badly." Sometimes, she will try to play the victim, as if you are chasing or harassing her. "Please save me, he keeps harassing and trying to get me." WTF!!! type silly games. Don't be tricked or fooled into such terrible silly bullshit in Japan. Insist that she meet you alone (in the beginning of starting the relationship), whenever possible, or do NOT meet at all.
