RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
I'm averaging 2 bangs per weekend and to be honest I learnt game entirely through reading the forums here and gaming in Japan, specifically through this thread. I started game a year back when the only sex I ever had was with my ex. To say that I'm getting a constant 2 bangs per weekend is really a huge leap forward. I decided to finally make an account and contribute back after I started my time in Japan because damn, you guys taught me so much shit man.

So about this week:

19 year old Yuri-chan- I met this one through starbucks like mentioned above, was supposed to take her out and shit but I managed to convert into a lay on the first date. This is what played out. We met for dinner at Shibuya, nothing much, simple fare at Kua Aina Hawaiian, she paid for her share. I suggested karaoke and she agreed pretty readily. Almost all the young girls in Japan like One Direction so it didnt hurt that I could actually pull off some of their songs well plus other boy bands that Japanese girls go gaga over. Anyone had experiences when they're simply amazed by how accurate we sound and how fast we type in English? Its as though they forget our first language is English lol. It was kinda funny how she went "oh no I missed my last train" right on cue at around 12.50am. We met at 10pm and you were expecting to go home on the last train when we entered the Karaoke at 11.30? Whatever you say girl~ So instead of doing my usual routine of playing a mind game to get the first kiss to start my heavy kino, I just casually went for the cheeks in between songs to get her used to it. After she didn't resist my lip kiss, I knew it was time to "take a walk around Shibuya cause we just had drinks and should stretch our legs alittle"

Little Yuri-chan and I walked to the love hotel area. During my ramble game that I do while walking, I planned the idea that it would be good if we could find somewhere to watch a movie to kill some time while waiting for the first train. It's a stupid ass obvious hint but like many before me have mentioned before, they need them plausible denial. It was Friday night and Dogenzaka was almost fully booked and we hilariously went from one love hotel to another looking for one with "a TV and dvd player" When we finally entered the room, we watched some shitty jap tv for 5mins and I had my 19 year old schoolgirl bang. I still like the petite frame of asian girls

26 year old Ai-chan- I met her yesterday on Sunday, I knew she was DTF immediately because she was sending so many IOIs when I first opened her using lost tourist game a few weeks back and she was also super cosy immediately. She lives in Shibuya so after dinner, I suggested we grabbed some drinks and head to her place and everything just went from there. With age comes experience, she was alot better a lover than Yuri and knew the rules of give and take. Best BJ I had since coming to Japan hands down. Did I mentioned Yuri refused to blow me at first and I had to coerce her into it and the result was what you would expect from a 19 year old? Ai-chan really knew how to show her Ai (pun is very intended)

So in conclusion, a sweet young thing is a huge ego boost but it also depends on what you go for. I'm a face kind of person so I still prefer Yuri and her petite frame and cute eyes. Deep down, kawaii-kei still gets to me damn.

A tip for new players in Tokyo: Hit those international parties for an easy lay. While the quality fluctuates, there are so many parties on weekends in locations near to each other with relatively cheap cover(normally 2000 for all you can drink for 3 hours) so if you don't like the talent, you can always bounce. Ask them what plans they have after the party. Those who tell you they have no plans. Ask them out for karaoke, if they're into you, they will definitely agree, they know what karaoke means.

From having a dry spell the first 2 months in Tokyo to gradually getting 1 bang per fortnight to what I have now, I really can't thank all of you enough man. Be glad to exchange more advice and tips!

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
I didn't get any notches from my trip in Ishigaki but I had one girl start to hit on me assuming is was a Marine (I should have just ignored the question and let her think that since I can pull off the look and was raised in a military family, but I didn't care to make the effort) while wandering around on my first night trying to find places that would useful for logistics should I meet any who seemed down. The guy that the girl sent over to bring me back to the table (he could speak the most English) ended up showing me to several local bars after we finished eating in the restaurant I walked up into.

The next day I took a bus over to Kabira, and walked along an abandoned beach solo for a good hour to hour and a half. After fully accepting that I am lost and probably can't return thanks to the tide coming back in I hear voices and two cute girls pop out of the treeline. The timing could not have been better as I was right ahead of them when they exited the jungle. Not wanting to waste a golden opportunity, I say hi and then tell em I'm quite lost and ask if that's the exit. I get the giggles I wanted and we start chatting and within 5 minutes they are wanting me to show them the various throws I know, basically asking me put my hands all over them. From here I was trying to decide which one I preferred thinking that I had walked into a gold mine. [With two though I wasn't sure to directly go after one, or see if I could get one of them alone later. I'd actually like opinions on that sort of thing since I plan to be hitting up the beaches a bit this year.] But they had a spare snorkel/goggles and a car, so I decided to let them drive me around and check out the local spots they knew. Both were doing season work at a lounge/girls bar so after the beachtime fun they needed to go back and prepare for work. But I had them make plans with me the next day for a late lunch since they seemed to be down and I was on vacation.

A rather hungover the next day I meet them for dinner and they were still plenty flirty, with one being so far beyond obvious I could have probably taken her home from there if she didn't have work. Both plan to move back to the mainland after a month and now want to visit me in Osaka, if that ever does happen I can imagine it taking little effort.

One thing I want to ask you guys, is what you think you would do in a situation like that? Meet two girls on an empty beach with both giving the vibe of being down, I probably pussied out a bit since I didn't want to be too obvious towards one with the other there. I figure that may happen a bit during this summer season if I continue to go out solo.

I'm not at the level of being able to work my way into a threesome but for isolation, just suggest to one of them for any solo activity on the island. Dinner or whatever is fine. Since they're flirting so much with you in the presence of each other, they probably talk about you privately as well. With nothing to lose just say something like "lets grab dinner together, just you and me" She should be down if she's into you. In a perfect world of threesomes, you could start by teasing them with jokes that are more suggestive. "Are you two 親友?(best friends) I heard girls in Japan like to kiss just like girls from *insert western country or your home country* Is that true? No? come onnn I don't believe you, I'm sure you've kissed"

Depending on their reaction to that, you should know whether its safe to proceed with your threesome or to isolate your preferred of the two to a dinner date. Remember to lay the foundations to the tease, talk about culture shock to ease them into the topic

I'd have to agree with you, shoulda just got balls out on one of them. If only I had another day or two on the island, I could have made something work.

What you say about laying the foundations for the tease, they were doing it for me practically. I imagine none of them had ever spoken to foreigners who could speak Japanese so they were digging any sort of culture differences I could tease them with. I've never really considered going straight into the culture shock differences. I can imagine it's a goldmine for doing as you want with them half the time, but I have to admit I use the "culture difference" as an excuse from time to time.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
Guess this thread is as good as any to ask the question:

Guys, what do you think of Japan as a medium-long term destination to live? I have my own opinion of couse but I want to know it fm you. Basically I've noticed the japanese governments offers scholarships to my country for masters and things alike, and with certain connections I have and my field of study I think I could work there in the diplomatic field too...

I will chime in as I have a bit of a unique view of Japan. I have spent a lot of time there, but have never lived there. One of the main reasons for that being work. I am not interested in working for a Japanese company in my field due to hours and company commitment. Working for myself there was a matter of losing money and not seeing the ability to make a go of things there in any short order. Starting a business there was likely a 5+ year plan. Even for something quite simple.

Part of the complication of Japan is their mentality of "Thats how we do it in Japan". It permeates all parts of their culture even in regards of what to wear when abroad. This makes things very difficult in regards to new trends. If you want to know how much power Japanese advertising agencies have just see what kind of Ginza office towers they own.

The weather can be a struggle if you are forced to grind the hours with other salaymen. In many ways English teachers have it good, they can take time off and get out of the cities more often. I have full time access to a mountain home in Nagano and an amazing terrace home in Atami so if I were to live there I would only be there for my own business so I could escape Tokyo from time to time.

Outside of Tokyo I hear it can be hard to make Japanese guy friends. While I do think this might be true, I have some good buddies that live there who I met when they lived abroad. Even still there are enough differences in culture to make things difficult in establishing close friendships. Most likely your best friends will always be westerners. Nothing wrong with that, but it feels like missing out. If you can, join some Hapa clubs. This gives a good balance of cultures.

In many ways Japan is one of the best places in the world to live as a foreigner. You are given great status (even if it is superficial) and if you can separate yourself from the many other baka crazy foreigners you will find people to be extremely kind, caring, and compassionate. No other culture have I had people cry over a sad story I was telling. They are truly beautiful people with a side of empathy toward eachother that is inspiring.

On the other hand it gets frustrating on how many people are so robotic, just going through life in a routine where there is not an extra minute to enjoy life.

Japan is still my favorite place in the world to visit. Even though its not my place for future growth, I still think about it as a great place to semi retire up in the alps by a lake for half a year.

I will be there for a month again this autumn. It will be an experiment in how long I might be able to push an annual or semi annual visit that lasts four months.

So in answer to your question, I would agree that it is a medium to long term place. Short term, no. Unless just for vacation.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
Thanks, I think that even though I have read and watched plenty of videos on the subject, my opinion will only be made when I actually go there.

As for the business thing, I absolutely agree. My other area of study is more in the lines of "Diplomacy in Commerce", essentially to work in companies, and by that regard Japan doesn't exactly excel anymore. I think the robotic characteristic is present in many places, I live in Southern Europe, and even here where you're supposed to know how to enjoy the "good life" I see plenty of people like that.

I really do like the country, at least from what I "think" I know, I like the girls too, I've had some experiences with Japs over here, some good, some confusing. I know I'll eventually end up there but I thought it would always be something later in life, now I see this reasonable opportunity in front of me and I'm thinking if I should bite..though I can also apply next year though, which is more likely since the application date is 30th June and I have a lot of paperwork to deal with so. My main gripe is mostly related with the job issue. And the fact that Japan is in economic downhill.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
I would not say that Japans economy is going downhill, because it certainly is not. The buying power of the people, along with the rise of other powers in Asian make it seem that it is going down.

Japan, again, has its own place in the world. They might be one of the few places in the world to just throw their hands up, walk away and focus on themselves for a decade or so. Who know, but they certainly seem less concerned with the rest of the world.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
In my experience, and in my own situation, expats who come to Japan to work so they can stay a few years usually do so at the expense of career advancement. You're either working in a job that doesn't give you much marketable skill (like English teaching), or, it's in a position with little chance for upward mobility. So, if you come, you should try to get as high a paying position as you can, because you'll probably be stuck in that position for your entire time here. Of course, there are exceptions which might apply to Laner and others.

My career advancement has stagnated for the past nine years that I've been here. So, for career advancement, I will likely be returning to the US this year. My plan is to return to Japan around retirement age, when I have my pension and vested savings and I don't have to worry about working full time anymore, and live here the rest of my life.

Why yes Carlos that seems to be precisely the case. Hence why I'd only risk it with this scholarship and with my specialization in Diplomacy, this could probably get me a good job at the embassy of my countr in Japan, I'm pretty good at making connections, and connections are (almost) everything, everywhere.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
No offence but I think your idea might be a little naive. Jobs in embassies are highly competitive. Especially when it comes to Japan. I wouldn't put your eggs in that basket. It's the dream job for almost every expat who ever bothered to learn Japanese.

It's not obvious on the ground but Japan is declining. In a couple of decades the population will already be considerably lower. Japanese companies are losing ground to their Asian competitors in most markets...the prospects don't look good. Especially when you add in the closed nature of the country and its business culture it doesn't make much sense as a foreigner in the long-run.

If you truly love Japan then learn the language well and live here for a while. Get it out of your system. Career-wise I honestly wouldn't recommend coming here. China or even SEA make more sense. Maybe Taiwan for something in between (a fun country whose language will take you far). But if you have the Japan bug as I did, come here for a few years and enjoy it while you are in your 20s. There is nowhere in the world like it and the girls are the most attractive in Asia.

PM me for accommodation options in Bangkok.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
I appreciate the harsh view dreambig, I've mentioned this decline of Japan before. Thing is, it looks quite hard to go there in the 20s precisely for career options. And in this specific case it wouldn't be much of a "competition" since I'd pretty much get the position almost guaranteed at the embassy of my country if I am SELECTED for the scholarship (joint partnership between my gov't and Japanese gov't).

What I fear is going there in my 20s because I have the "bug" and missing out on career advancement I would probably get in Europe or other places.... I don't know about China or SEA as I haven't lived there, the girls are tolerable for sure. I suppose China would be better for some progress but I've always looked at China as a damn mess of a country XD

Maybe Taiwan for something in between (a fun country whose language will take you far). But if you have the Japan bug as I did, come here for a few years and enjoy it while you are in your 20s. There is nowhere in the world like it and the girls are the most attractive in Asia.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
^^ OK my bad. If the position would be almost guaranteed then fuck, just go for it. There are worse starts to a career than working in your country's embassy in Tokyo! It seems like you have the Japan bug already so you may as well just enjoy the place while you are still young. Perhaps do some trips to other parts of Asia to see where you like and keep your eyes open for opportunities. Japanese companies are doing the same - they are planning for their future outside Japan.

And not only that they also give me housing for a reduced price and also pay me tuition, plus stuff for health and whatever, and a monthly scholarship too. But I might apply next year because I am thinking of doing a post grad in Diplomacy in Commerce. To have a route to companies and stuff like that. I know degrees don't guarantee SHIT, but it's certainly better than doing nothing, and it would allow me to work part time here for a year, to save money for Japan later I suppose Big Grin !

Just go for it man! If there has already been talk of getting you into the embassy just get your ass over there and be there for when the position may open up. I have no idea how embassies work but there must be a certain amount of young blood they are forced to take in every so often in order to maintain their diplomacy cred. No one wants an embassy full of boring and jaded middle to late aged people.

Damn dream job though, and I dont even know what they do on a daily basis. Its most likely boring, but the Canadian embassy in Tokyo puts on a pretty fun BBQ every spring.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
Yeah the main problem is that my university absolutely WON'T get the required paperwork in time for me to apply this year, despite my best efforts. And I am also one year below the application form, I could get over it with their paperwork and diploma but I have ONE lousy subject left to finish and I think they won't give me a provisional one, hence why I might stay here one more year and then apply!

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
There definitely are some expats living the high life here. If you want to see what I'm talking about, check out the American School in Japan's parking lot on a Saturday. Chock full of BMWs, Mercedes, Saabs, Land Rovers, etc operated by a well-heeled crowd. Must be a dream job for those upper-ranking diplomats and business executives to live in Japan while getting the perks that they do here.

Anyway, if you can get an embassy job here, go for it. That kind of job will also give you more status, especially if you embellish it a little when talking to the women.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
Thanks Carlos I will SERIOUSLY consider it, probably for the next year. It also involves taking a certain fluency in Japanese and taking a masters at a Japanese university. But I am pretty dedicated when I really do want something, we'll see how it turns out Wink

@LEMONedIScream.
I'd start looking into the 関関同立 schools as well. I went to one and they paid for damn near everything.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
At work today, listening to my co-worker bitch about how "girls only go for bad boys" and I was falling asleep from all the beta juices. The conversation then shifted to the cute waitress that was working at the restaurant. I couldn't believe how they were all just discussing about her looks and everything but no one even mentioned anything about gaming her. I realized I needed to save my lunch hour with even the slightest bit of entertainment so when I walked over to her and asked "青山学院の学生ですか?" (are you from Aoyama U?) I just pulled that random college out of my head from nowhere and obviously nope she wasn't from Aoyama U. I then told her that I once went to Aoyama to meet a friend and I thought I found her familiar, I thanked her for her time and went back to my Japanese colleagues who were going berserk over the thought of a man talking to a woman(lol)

One of them just accused me of nampa but was visibly impressed. I told them I only found her familiar and asked if she was from Aoyama U, they didn't really buy it but when she came over again to pour our tea for us, I told her "I think Aoyama's green tea taste nicer" and since green tea tastes the same anywhere, it was obviously meant as a joke and she laughed. The table was flabbergasted at how easy I made conversation. I would like to see them try lol.

I got her Line in the end after I asked her directly for it when we were about to leave and my co-workers were "scolding" me saying now we cant come back to this restaurant cause everyone will know their foreigner friend is "nanpa-shi"

I love experiencing and reading about the beta things guys do. They crack me up every single time. Japanese guys like to learn word for word how to make conversation but they either do it so inappropriately or so creepily they just flop it the moment they open their mouths.

One thing I love is when they interrupt my game with a girl. I'm always gentlemanly to them and then slowly direct the girl physically in a subtle but also pretty obvious way to kick him out of the conversation like turning our backs on him by talking about something that requires us to turn our bodies. When they give up and walk away, I tease the girls and since they know what I'm doing, I could tell they're impressed with my ability to keep the peace but getting rid of the "kimoi" guy. Japanese's 和 at its best.

@Zerdame.
I'd be careful running game around your Japanese co-workers... They'll spread rumors about you, cockblock you, and maybe even ostracize you. It's endlessly entertaining to see them squirm, but it's better to keep your exploits to yourself. In Japan, ostracism is called murahachibu (村八分) and it can be exceptionally cruel. I've never run into it, but an American dude I know fell victim after his coworkers labeled him a "playboy."




I have one of the prettiest girls I've been out with in a long time tonight, but she lives in Kobe and we're meeting halfway on neutral turf. Going for the karaoke bang. Wish me luck, everyone.

RE: Bang Japan: Game in The Great Nippon Empire
Here's a little bit of intel on Shibuya that I found out today. There are two love hotels separated from Dogenzaka over by the Inokaishira Line station. One of them has normal prices, i.e. 5000 yen for two hours. The other, called Hotel Lilly, is much less. I noticed Lilly when I was walking around before, so I took my date there today after we ate lunch together. Our room was only 2900 yen for the entire time between noon and 5 p.m.

There is a reason that it's so cheap. The hotel looks like it hasn't been remodeled since the 1970s. There isn't even an elevator. The rooms don't have any kind of charm to them at all. It might seem like a contradiction in terms to say that a love hotel can have any charm, but most Japanese love hotels, in my experience, do try to make the whole experience seem at least a little less wanton by having some taste in the décor, even if it constitutes "garish chic." Although it might be tempting to bring a girl to this hotel if you're in Shibuya because of the price (or the location because it is closer to Shibuya station than Dogenzaka hill), it looks so cheap when you get inside it might cause you some unnecessary ASD trouble. For what it's worth.
