A during her time working overseas She also experienced the once-trending Dubai case. But the clients she dealt with weren’t nobles—they were Chinese people living in Dubai. “On the first day, the work involved sex, but the next day they told me to go to a KTV. KTV is like a cabaret club in Japan. I came to earn money and wanted to have sex and leave quickly, so drinking and entertaining wasn’t for me. I refused, but they pressured me, saying, ‘There are Chinese VIPs, you have to go!’ When I reluctantly went to the VIP room, the table was covered with huge amounts of drugs. There were unbelievable amounts of ketamine and cocaine. There were also balloons filled with nitrous oxide. They tried to make me take drugs too, but then I remembered, ‘Isn’t doing drugs in Dubai punishable by death?!’ I got scared and ran away.” She pretended to go to the bathroom and escaped, but the KTV staff came to her hotel, banging on the door furiously and yelling, “The VIP is angry! Pay 500,000 yen!” “Basically, a lot of overseas clients use drugs. When I went to Manila, I was forced to take drugs, and when I refused, two men held a gun to me and raped me. I didn’t get a single yen, but when I cried to the staff, they gave me the money for serving the two clients and said, ‘Glad you didn’t die!’—and that was it.” Even after such terrifying experiences, A continued working overseas for some time. Why? “Because I could make money. In Japan, if I wasn’t in the mood, I would take a break, but overseas work doesn’t allow that. So you can save money. Above all, overseas clients don’t require foreplay or afterplay, so you can serve more people easily.” Still, she added, “I won’t go anymore.” When asked if it was because of the risks, she quietly shook her head. “When I first started working overseas, it wasn’t unusual to make 400,000–500,000 yen in a single day. But over the years, more girls went abroad, and some undercut prices, so the rates for Japanese women themselves dropped. The last time I went was Singapore in 2025, and I only made 70,000 yen in four days (laughs). Unless you’re a tall, stunning Chinese beauty, it’s no longer a market where Japanese women can make huge money.” Finally, A said with a serious expression, “You absolutely cannot make a fortune without working hard.”
