What do you know about the Japanese Male Host Club? The word "Host" here is referring to the young Japanese men who are working at nightclubs or car to exclusively serve for women. This host club can be found in many cities of Japan and most dominantly in Shijuku. The host sometimes will browse and talk with stranger who are passing by the street or at station before asking you to follow them or to find them at the host club.

If you are a girl and get caught off with their soft spoken and luring skills to you, you might be turned to be their customers. Or, if you are a guy with a good look and some charms, they might be interested to recruit you as their colleague in the host club. The clue is, when you show some interest or willingness to talk with them, the host will keep talking with you in any topic, as they were trained for that.
