Just a PSA but Kaoru comments on Twitter that from next month several providers at Y-Shirt, including her, will be changing their names. So something to have in consideration when using previous Y-Shirt reviews for reference.

Changing names only or stores as well?

The first tweet mentioned her and other girls at her shop changing their names, though she then went on to post a series of tweets about how a lot of other girls are switching shops. Almost certainly related to the scout situation.

I suspect there's going to be a lot of this sort of thing in the upcoming months. Kaoru seems to be pretty upfront and public about changing her name, but I'm aware of others who don't want that informational circulating, so people are going to need to use their discretion on what gets shared.

TBH with her name change and one more I saw, it doesn't look like it will take Sherlock Holmes to figure who's who in any case.

TLDR, shit happened, she needs to cancel the slot.
Most likely until further notice

Oof, wonder if her twitter suddenly going protected mode is related to this. Or maybe to all the ongoing industry issues, or even both. I've actually been messaging her this week setting up session and noticed her responses were a bit shorter and somewhat less energetic than usual.

Poor girl, hope everything turns out alright with whatever she's dealing with. :confused:

From the deleted screenshot, she is dealing with personal matters. Best to leave her alone for now.

Hi quick question, for Asian-gaijin that understand N5, it's possible to blend in? And not get gaijin tax?

Well, good questions.

Unlike some other guys, I'd like to give you more insight:
1) JLPT doesn't have oral exam, so what JLPT level you have is totally not related to how good you SPEAK Japanese. The way you think is off-track from beginning.
2) If you want to enter a so called 'foreigner friendly' shop, you don't need to "blend in", they will most likely accept you if you look alright. Otherwise -
3) Whether you could 'blend in' not only depends on your Japanese level, but also how you act/be like a local, trust me, the staff will know you are foreigner in 5 seconds they meet you, just from your eyes, gesture and even clothes.
4) Tax, is a different topic, i don't think foreigner could avoid that easily but still possible with the slightest chance. It depends on how you negotiate with them and whether they want to do it for you, their mood on the day and so on, and again as i said above it's not related to your JLPT level.

Having said this, i am quite wondering which shop/provider you want to see in specific by 'blend in'? There are lots of shops openly accept foreigners now, if tax(budget) is a concern just find another shop costs less.

Oh, it's the easiest thing in the world to avoid. I speak fluently and now I can also teach you the trick. When they show you the foreigner prices or mention you need to pay extra you look at them in the eyes and say slowly "難しいですね". And then you walk out and take your monies elsewhere. HTH!

I was expecting like, a full name change...

But, nope, both Momo and Kaoru just slapped two letters on
 
I saw reviews for EXE but on their website it literally says "there are no female in our shop that can serve foreigners" . Is this a recent policy change?

YMMV!

Reach out to girl in Japanese and you might get lucky!

Banners like this is common at many shops allowing us.

In many cases they're there for the local clientele so they believe only Yamato touch their girls.

LMAO got it haha
 
How long do you usually wait with asking for a reply on Line if the provider doesn't answer? I'm trying to book a session with a well-reviewed (on TAG) provider, but her responses have been… slow to say the least. It's been a few days now.

Doesn't look like the message has been read, either. I don't want to come across as too impatient, but the date I want to see her is relatively soon so I don't want to wait too long either.
