We chat with the minds behind this specialty store about its unusually uniform niche and learn to appreciate the plain.
Japan’s infamous host shows off his down-to-earth night-time regimen and his luxurious home.
The King of Hosts shows us his daily routine now that he can’t greet his clients…and also tells us who his favorite Love Live! girl is.
The clubs themselves might be closed, but you can still spend time with your favorite host, even if you can’t physically be with him.
Roland also has a “must-have” hangover cure that can be yours for just a little over 100 bucks.
Tokyo’s biggest club district has an all-night sushi joint where the chef is also a working host.
Akaya Kunugi owes it all to his rich “princesses” who spend up to US$35,000 a night on him.
Afternoon, alcohol-free open house provides luxurious backdrops, chance to chat and snap photos with hosts.
It turns out that life ain’t so bad for a single lady when she’s in the company of these handsome hosts.
Two of our reporters invite you to share a glass of absinthe with them at Host Club Roketto in Shinjuku.
The Internet can’t decide whether this is insanely cute or a prime example of terrible parenting.
Forget about renting an obviously unbelievable hottie; these rental boyfriends charm with more attainable good looks.
Believe it or not, our crack Japanese-language reporter, Mr. Sato, has been struggling with his self-image recently. In recognition of all his hard work, we decided to spring for a makeover for the poor guy, and not at a pet grooming salon like we did before.
No, this time, Mr. Sato is getting the full-on host bar treatment, complete with a photo session commemorating his transformation into a guy so hot women would pay money just to sit and drink with him.
