<p>Last November, the manager of a soapland in Hiroshima City was arrested for violating the Anti-Prostitution Law. The charges were that they &#8220;provided a place where multiple female employees engaged in prostitution with unspecified male customers, knowing that they would be prostituting themselves to unspecified male customers. In other words, he was only operating a &#8220;normal business&#8221; as a soap, so why was he arrested?</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The store had filed a proper report under the Entertainment Establishments Control Law. However, &#8220;sexual intercourse&#8221; is not included in the business content of soaps, which is allowed by law, and it is illegal. In other words, soap operators are in danger of being found in violation of the Anti-Prostitution Law at any time if the authorities are so inclined. In this case, two other men and a woman were arrested in February of this year on suspicion of receiving the proceeds from this establishment. It is possible that the arrest of this man and woman may have been the &#8220;main objective&#8221; in connection with other crimes.</span></p>
<p>Despite its precarious existence, the &#8220;high road&#8221; of the adult entertainment industry is still soapland. In the adult entertainment industry, where fads and fashions are constantly changing amidst booms and regulations, the type of business that has continued since the 1950s, when it was called &#8220;Turkish bath,&#8221; is already considered &#8220;traditional. There are several famous soap operators that are said to be &#8220;must-go once before you die. What kind of establishments deserve to be called &#8220;famous&#8221;? Akira Ikoma, editor-in-chief of the sex industry magazine &#8220;Ore no Tabi&#8221; (My Trip), tells us.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The common characteristics of famous stores are &#8220;good staffs,&#8221; &#8220;thorough training of girls,&#8221; and &#8220;history, tradition, and prestige. Just because the quality of the girls is high does not make it a great store. The male staff&#8217;s follow-up is essential.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The fact that the service content does not change from one girl to another is proof of thorough training. Education of girls includes not only service but also manners. In the famous stores, attentive aspects such as carefully folding a customer&#8217;s clothes or going to the playroom hand in hand are also thoroughly educated.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It is also essential for a great store to be run by a business-minded owner who always makes an effort to be a good businessman. Customers are naturally drawn to a restaurant that puts the customers first. And girls will come to work there, saying, &#8220;I want to work there. This is repeated over a long period of time, and history, tradition, and prestige are nurtured. A great store is not built in a day.</span></p>
<p>In the paid version of &#8220;FRIDAY GOLD,&#8221; Ikoma describes in detail, with stories from his own experiences, nine famous soap parlors, including &#8220;Japan&#8217;s Three Great Soap Parlors,&#8221; which are located throughout Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu and are &#8220;must-visit places at least once before you die.</p>
