What Working at a Maid Cafe in Japan is Like (Interview)

  • Maid cafés are a subcategory of cosplay restaurants found predominantly in Japan. Waitresses dressed in maid costumes act as servants, and treat customers as masters and mistresses in a private home, rather than as café patrons. If you’re interested in working at a maid cafe in Japan, I hope this video will help you understand what it is like actually.
    =============================================

  • @Unimportant
    @Unimportant 6 лет назад +282

    I'm kind of interested in what kind of psychologial benefits or detriments frequenting a place like this can have on a patron. I'd like to think that positive attention from attractive women, artificial or real, ought to be good for a man. At the same time, if you are too analytical and can see through the act, then it may make you even more self conscious. Either way, I do think it could be a stepping stone in getting more comfortable around women and female attention even though it does not realistically represent 'normal' interactions.

    • @Svoorhout85
      @Svoorhout85 6 лет назад +20

      Its similair to a hostess club. As you said, some people see through the act and know their kindness and acts of affection is not sincere. But some people are completely immersed and some even become obsessed, spending a fortune on gifts to their favorite girls. Not to mention the entrance fee and overpriced food and beverages. Convinced that their affection is genuine. To the point they sometimes bankrupt themselves.
      But a maid cafe also appears to be like an interactive theater performance. Thats where my analogy frays a bit I guess. Maybe thats why maid cafes are more commonly open to tourists? (hostess clubs rarely are)

      @rushbcykablyat1792 6 лет назад +14

      I don't think otakus and video game lovers have much power in real life, be it over circumstances or attraction from the opposite sex. Here they get to temporarily escape to a world where they are masters over a bunch of subservient attractive maids, giving them a very artificial and escapist(in other words fake) way of feeling self worth.
      Which is why I think all hostess bars are not really a healthy phenomenon, in the sense that they give you an artificial self-esteem in exchange from money from you. But I suppose it's just like how people use cigarettes or alcohol to escape the inner tensions within their mind, even though they know how unhealthy it is.

      Are they not both hostesses? Don't they both have to be trained. Don't both have to be knowledgeable about subjects in order to entertain? Can't the ancient and modern coexist? I think the difference is superficial. Explain the big differences please.

    • @julosx
      @julosx 6 лет назад +3

      Geishas training is a lot longer, it takes years. It involves much deeper learning, in music and literature particularly. Therefore they can stay in business longer than a maid in a cafe.

Maybe it's also a nice way for Japanese people to feel special after a day of hard work or study without much fun or personal attention? Good luck to them.

    I see this less as cringe and more as a continuation of the geisha culture. They have the same things in common:
    - beautiful, wearing nice clothes, perfectly behaved.
    - ranking system where you can work yourself up to improve your maid or maiko/geisha status.
    - perfectly serve the guest (referred to as "master"/"mistress"), almost like reading their mind and knowing exactly what pleases them.
    - elegantly but efficiently selling them food and maybe even prolongue their stay or make them return to the facility.
    This is amazing. There is a certain appeal to such kind of businesses. I wonder if people would like that if f.eg. a tavern in England or Germany would fully act out and recreate old-style butlers, medieval-age-style, or late 19th century-style cafés. With fitting interior and according behaviour and immersion by the staff. Definitely Japanese tourists would check those out!

Is there an expiry date on girls with these jobs? I ask because, every single Maid I've seen is uber-young and these sorts of jobs seem to prioritize youth above all. No one stays young forever, no matter how good your make-up.

      I can tell from what I watched about some maids when they have graduated. Some of them simply take up other jobs. Many of them are highschool students btw so earning some money while studying is the reason why they e.g. take up a maidcafe job - and leave it after some few years. Other maids - those with longer experience also in entertaining especially - go into other clubs to entertain people - or also into the entertainment sector in general.
      Or they become "premium staff", thereafter "leading staff" with responsabilities for the store operations in general. Many of them are cosplayers, so some maids have experience in modeling and may perhaps go into that sector thereafter (photogaphy, posing for fashion, and modeling is a widespread sector in japan, especially in the cities). Other start a normal life (when they e.g. have completed studying, a degree, graduated and ready to take up a job for a living, which otherwise is only possible in a maid-cafe if you advance further there and of course full-time as a part of the core staff.

      The "oldest" Maid is actually still there and soon has her 14th anniversary (the cafe itself already went across its 14th year of operation) when ♡Hitomi joined there - and instantly took the opportunity being the very head-maid because as far as I know she is and was already somehow affiliated with all that, she is also an artist and maybe is one co-owner. But I am not sure although being "President" of the maidcafe (Hitomi) implies many attributes and preconditions to actually get up to such a position or title.
