Playback ’94] High School Girls Who Take Time Off from School to “Prostitute” Go Directly to Hotels When Called on

What did “FRIDAY” report 10, 20, and 30 years ago? In “Playback Friday,” we take a look back at the topics that were hot at the time. This time, we bring you a story from the April 22, 1994 issue, which was published 30 years ago : “Four high school girls confessed to ‘Prostitution on School Holidays’ by calling out to others as if they were part-timers.

Today, the existence of “tachinbo” in Shinjuku’s Okubo Park and other areas has been repeatedly reported in the media, and it is not uncommon to see women who appear to be “under 18 years old” among them. It is not uncommon to see women who appear to be under the age of 18. However, the “standing high school girls” mentioned in this article are of a slightly different type. (Descriptions in parentheses are quoted from previous articles.)

They would say, ‘I’ll give you an allowance, do you want to play? I’ll give you some money to play with.

Although we can only show you a back view, the four girls hanging out in front of Nakano Station in Tokyo are all 17 years old and high school girls.

The leader of the group, A, is a sophomore at a Tokyo metropolitan high school and looks a bit like Minako Tanaka, while B and C are also sophomores at a Tokyo metropolitan high school.

Except for the fact that they all smoke cigarettes in broad daylight, they are dressed in the casual clothes of ordinary high school girls, and their makeup is rather subdued. Even their makeup is light.

These girls are said to be “Sekuri” friends. Sekuri” is a cloak word among these girls, and it is said to refer to prostitution. The fact that high school girls were prostituting themselves using teleclubs and message dials had already been reported in the media at the time, but their style was a bit unique, according to Ako.

They would go to Sunshine Street in Ikebukuro or near the Koma Theater in Kabukicho (now the Shinjuku Toho Building; editor’s note) to pick up young men. If I go to pick up a girl and a young man approaches me, he may pick me up, but if I’m standing still, he will ask me, ‘I’ll give you some allowance, do you want to play? I would be asked if I wanted to play with them. In those cases, I say, ‘I want 30,000 yen,’ and we go straight to a hotel.

The pattern is the same for the other three. C, the oldest, has been a sex worker for a little over a year, and the other three have been doing it for only a few months. They are active once a week, and when it is too much trouble to stand on a street corner, they go to a teleclub for “business meetings.

On “Sekuri” days, I take the day off from school and call the teleclub at a friend’s house or my own house. I usually call from Nakano, Shibuya, Meguro, or Ogikubo. Sometimes we have sex from 3:00 p.m. Even on days when I go to school, I start at 5:00 p.m. and finish my “work” by 9:00 p.m.” (Child B)
