Wondering What Goes through the Minds of a Working Lounge Girl
"Welcome! 오서오세요!! いらっしゃいませ!!!" As soon as the author and his friends stepped inside the purposely dark-tinted and heavy metal doors of the karaoke lounges surrounding Malate's Remedios Circle, dozens of girls, dressed in various themed costumes for the night (ranging from schoolgirl to maids) surrounded them, putting on their best smiles in front of the potential customers lazily scanning each girl up and down before deciding to stay or go. Outside, male representatives of each competing lounge shove pictures of their best girls in front of passersby, hoping to get more customers.
