I have to ask - weird dudes in Kabukicho
My wife and I were walking around last night near Kabukicho. We came across dozens of guys in suits with long hair like U.S. rock bands from the 80s. The hair was hair-sprayed solid and most of them had lightened their hair to that gold color. They stood smoking in the middle of intersections on the small side roads. What's the deal with these guys? They are hilarious to watch.

Yakuza newbies looking for hostesses probably. I like the awful colored pointy leather shoes.

they are called "male hosts" or hosuto ..
they entertain female customer in their clubs.. they are all over Japan as long as host bar/club exist but I guess they are Kabukicho has lots of them.. |
That is awesome. I'm no Casanova, but a woman would have to be exceedingly desperate to go for one of those helmets!

Male hosts most likely

If you want to see a decent documentary about host boy life, watch "The Great Happiness Space". Netflix has it streaming if you have a subscription. By the end I felt a bit sad for all sides of the transaction.
