The reasons why I worked at Kyabakura.

Hi, guys. I’m Minoru.

I’m a office worker now. Until last month, I worked at "kyabakura" (a portmanteau of the Japanese pronunciation for “cabaret” and “club”), which is basically a place where men pay lots of money to drink and talk with young girls.

What’s the image of Kyabakura for you?

I guess most Japanese images for Kyabakura are not good.

However, a Kyabakura where I worked was a good place for me. 

Today, I’ll talk about why I worked at Kyabakura.

Im 22 years old now.

I was a university student until March.

As a part-time job, i worked Kyabakura for 6 months from last October to March. 

Why did I start to work at Kyabakura?

There are three main reasons why I was there.

One is just curiously. When I was 19-20, I used to work at g”Girls bar”( which is similar to Kyabakura, the difference is whether women can sit next to you. When you go to “Girls bar” , women don’t allow to sit next to you. They only stand over the counter. While you go to Kyabakura, they can sit next to you.)So I didn’t have prejudice for “night work”. I wanted to know what the difference between Girls bar and Kyabakura is.

Second is to be admired by a lot of men. I can get some compliments like “you are pretty.””I like you.” These words make me comfortable and give me some confidence. I needed a person who admit my existence because I didn’t have confidence at all.

Last is to communicate with a lot of people and know different values. Talking with people who have experimented working is so useful for me, and I learned a lot from various people. We have some mind, we have some opinions.

For me, it was a good experience to work there. I can get a lot of values and thinking. 

Especially, I learned the importance of “free” from its place.

I posted on this article in English. Writing in English can open my mind than Japanese.
