Ginza hostess exposes bizarre Line messages from delusional older patrons

TOKYO (TR) – A hostess working in the upscale Ginza nightlife district has lifted the lid on the daily barrage of bizarre, delusional, and borderline harassing Line messages she and her colleagues receive from middle-aged male patrons.

Writing under the pen name “Mizue-chan,” the hostess and freelance writer details the unsettling reality of digital communications in the nightlife industry to Nikkan Spa! (Sep. 11), exposing five distinct categories of “creepy” messages sent by older men who mistake paid hospitality for genuine romance.

1. The Bizarre Sexual Harassment

While working at a cheap cabaret club in West Tokyo, Mizue-chan recalled receiving late-night messages from a patron inspired by the hit anime Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc. The man texted, “Tonight is the infinite ejaculation arc with you,” followed by, “I can try harder in the morning (lol).”

The following morning, the man sent a pathetic, frantic apology so long it required four scrolls to read on her smartphone screen.

2. The Unsolicited “Daily News” Broadcasts

A major source of annoyance for hostesses is the unprompted daily update. Older men, assuming a mutual romance has blossomed after a few drinks, send mundane updates like “I’ve caught a cold and am in bed,” or “I’m about to go jogging around the Imperial Palace!” While seemingly harmless, hostesses view the messages as an exhausting extension of unpaid labor.

3. Delusions of Grandeur

Mizue-chan noted that older men often use her side job as a freelance writer to arrange “meetings,” which are thinly veiled attempts at dates. Despite the reality of the situation, the men frame the invitations with startling arrogance, sending messages like, “I can make time to meet you at night,” acting as if the hostess is the one desperate for their company.

4. Fishing for Compliments

Many middle-aged patrons utilize weaponized self-deprecation to force hostesses into stroking their egos. By sending messages like, “I’m just an old man now (lol)” or “You wouldn’t want to deal with a guy like me, right? (lol),” the men aggressively fish for obligatory replies such as, “That’s not true! You’re young!” or “I love spending time with you!”

5. The Hostile Preacher

When older men are rejected, the situation can quickly turn hostile. Mizue-chan recounted an incident involving a female university student working at a cabaret club in Osaka’s Kitashinchi district. A man in his 50s relentlessly pressured the young woman to go on a trip with him. When she politely declined, citing job hunting and graduation trips, the man snapped.

“You’re underestimating this job,” the man scolded via text, adding the classic defense of the rejected patron: “I’m only saying this for your own good.”

Psychology of the ‘creepy’ patron

According to Mizue-chan, the root cause of these disturbing communications is a fundamental disconnect from reality.

Many of these men refuse to let go of their youth, using the Line messaging app as a risk-free way to play out romantic fantasies. Furthermore, they fundamentally misunderstand the nature of the nightlife industry, mistakenly believing that polite, professional responses from hostesses mean the women are genuinely interested in them.

“Even men who are isolated at home or work, harboring unfulfilled loneliness, can use Line to have women pay attention to them without spending a single yen,” Mizue-chan explained, describing the app as the “ultimate cost-effective toy” for lonely men.

She concluded with a stark warning to patrons who view cabaret clubs and hostess bars as safe spaces to live out their delusions without fear of retaliation, noting that ultimately, it is the older men who will end up ignored, laughed at, and alone.

东京（TR）——一位在高档夜生活区银座工作的女招待揭露了她和同事每天都会收到来自中年男性顾客的大量古怪、妄想和近乎骚扰的Line消息。

这位以笔名“Mizue-chan”的女招待兼自由撰稿人向《日刊Spa！》（9月11日）详细描述了夜生活行业数字通信中令人不安的现实，揭露了老年男性发送的五种截然不同的“令人毛骨悚然”的信息，他们误以为付费招待是真正的浪漫。

1. 奇葩的性骚扰

水江酱在东京西部一家廉价夜总会工作时，曾收到一位顾客深夜发来的信息，这位顾客受到了热门动画《鬼灭之刃：娱乐街篇》的启发。那人发信息说：“今晚和你一起体验无限射精篇章”，接着又说：“明天早上我可以更努力（笑）。”

第二天早上，这名男子发来一封语气可怜又慌乱的道歉信，信的内容太长了，她需要在智能手机屏幕上滚动四次才能看完。

2. 未经请求的“每日新闻”广播

招待员最烦恼的事情之一就是男士们不请自来的每日更新。一些年纪较大的男士，在几杯酒下肚后，误以为彼此之间萌生了情愫，便会发送一些诸如“我感冒了，卧床休息”或“我正准备去皇宫附近慢跑！”之类的琐碎信息。虽然这些信息看似无害，但招待员们却觉得这是她们无偿劳动的一种无谓延伸。

3. 夸大妄想

水江酱注意到，一些年纪较大的男性经常利用她自由撰稿人的兼职身份安排“见面”，而这些“见面”实际上都是变相的约会。尽管事实如此，这些男性在发出邀请时却表现得异常傲慢，比如会发信息说“我晚上有空和你见面”，仿佛是女主人急于和他们见面似的。

4. 寻求赞美

许多中年顾客会利用自嘲来博取女招待的欢心。他们会发送诸如“我现在只是个老头子了（哈哈）”或“你肯定不想跟我这种人打交道吧？（哈哈）”之类的信息，咄咄逼人地试图引来诸如“才不是呢！你还年轻呢！”或“我喜欢和你在一起！”之类的客套话。

5. 敌对的传道者

当年长的男性遭到拒绝时，情况很容易变得敌对。瑞惠讲述了一个发生在大阪北新地一家夜总会的女大学生的故事。一名五十多岁的男子不断纠缠这名年轻女子，试图让她和他一起旅行。当她礼貌地以找工作和毕业旅行为由拒绝后，该男子勃然大怒。

“你低估了这份工作，”那人通过短信责备道，并补充了被拒绝的顾客的经典辩解：“我这么说只是为了你好。”

“令人毛骨悚然”的顾客的心理学

据水江酱说，这些令人不安的交流的根源在于与现实的根本脱节。

许多男性不愿告别青春，将Line聊天软件视为实现浪漫幻想的无风险途径。此外，他们对夜生活行业的本质存在根本性的误解，错误地认为女招待礼貌专业的回复就意味着她们真的对他们感兴趣。

“即使是那些独自在家或工作中感到孤独寂寞的男性，也可以使用 Line 来获得女性的关注，而无需花费一分钱，”Mizue-chan 解释说，并将该应用程序描述为孤独男性的“终极性价比玩具”。

她最后向那些把歌舞俱乐部和陪酒酒吧视为可以肆意妄为而不必担心遭到报复的安全场所的顾客发出严厉警告，指出最终被忽视、被嘲笑和孤独对待的往往是年纪较大的男性。
