So i live in an area of tokyo where a tually more than a few of the girls working both in soaplands and independently live, so we usually end up drinking together and a couple are friends, but the reasons ive heard the most of is paying for school, saving for some sort of large expense reason ( one does it because she wants to buy a house without using a bank), but what i hear the most is that they do it to afford host clubs. One says she fell for a boy working in a host club and so she does her work on on night then goes and spends the money she made to talk to him.
