- Hello, my beautiful viewers. Once again, I'm out in Japan. I don't really know what's happening. All I've been told is that I
need to come to this theme park to meet with, of course, you guessed it, Shibuya Kaho.
- Yay! - What are we doing today, Kaho? - So you are on a date today. - Okay, nice, nice. - Not with me. I'm renting a date for you. So you know the show called
"Rent-A-Girlfriend," right? - I love it. Chizuru is number one girl. I love Chizuru, hell yes.
(hands slapping) - Yes.
- Okay, All right. I want my very own Chizuru. - But, I'm not renting
a girlfriend this time. That wouldn't be fun. You can just hit the Tinder
and get a girlfriend, right? - I guess so, I guess so, yeah. - So why don't I just
rent a boyfriend instead? - Okay. - And just watch some BL moments
and have fun on my own too. - So this is just your way
of getting your own BL show? - I'm just being fujoshi. I purchased binoculars for this. - So what, you're just
gonna watch me on a date? - Yes. - All right, okay, okay. - Okay, so I'm introducing
you to this beautiful boy. - Oh, this is my date? Oh my God, okay, wow. - Oh God, he's hot. - Oh my God, he's so cute! - He's 22! - 22? - Oh, my God. I feel so old and creepy now. Is this weird? This is weird, right? - This is his first time going on a date with a guy, as well. - Okay, 2021, starting it off good. - They don't usually really, like, accept man for the date.
- Yup. - But this is a special
occasion, I asked the owner and the owner the owner said it's okay. Why didn't you say no? Why didn't you say no, owner? But okay, here we are. Why? Why did you say yes? So I guess we're going to go on the date in the theme park that we have coming up. - Yes, yes, yes, very cute. We usually go on a date by request, like a date usually takes your request but since this is my request, I was like feeling a little bit aggressive and I can start with maybe holding hands? - Okay. I mean sure. (hands chinging)
Oh, wow. Oh, well, we're locking hangers. I did not expect for such
aggressive finger locking action, but here we are. (Kaho laughing) - Kaho, are you happy? Is this what you wanted? - Yes. - This feels so wrong. I'm going to go on a date now. See you guys. Oh shit. Okay, I look like shit. Let me grab this. Okay, let me. You're gonna look fine for the date. - I know, I know, I know. I am slightly underdressed. This theme park is Cosmo world. It's located right in
the middle of Yokohama and considering that, it has
a ton of attractions to do, such as The Log Flume, the
Ferris wheel, the rollercoaster, and it's the perfect
place for a first date. And I was eagerly awaiting to experience all of the amazing rides that
Cosmo World had to offer. I could picture it now, me
and my affordable boyfriend on the rollercoaster going around enjoying the view of Yokohama. Now, normally I am a smart boy and always get permission
to film wherever I go. I didn't do that this time because I was told by a friend
that it's okay to film here. So that was a lie. All right, nevermind. They said we can't film a life. All right, now I've got
to think of another date, very quickly. Let's do it. I did not have a backup plan. I was also an hour and
a half late to this date because the trains were
just not running this day. So needless to say, I had made a great impression
on my rental boyfriend. But no worries, your boy's
a master of improvisation. So I decided to go and
take a beautiful stroll around Yokohama and get to know
my rental boyfriend better. - Look at them, just so adorable together. - [Connor] My editor
originally cut this scene where I asked him if he liked Jojo and I insisted that he put it back in. So here it is, the rental boyfriend
telling me he likes Jojo. - [Connor] We are now married. - Fingers intertwined. (both laughing) - As you can tell, I pick only the most
interesting topics for my dates. Obviously the date was going so well that my rental boyfriend asked
me an important question. Oh my god, he just asked me to hold hands. I don't think I'm ready for this. I don't want to hold hands
with him, I'll seem too needy. That would give the impression that I want him to hold hands with me. I don't want him to hold hands with me. Why would I want that? Why don't you just start
the date saying no, play it cool, you got this. What am I supposed to say, huh? Listen, if a cute boy
asks to hold your hand, there's only one answer. Shut the (bleep) up. But anyway, it was time to talk
about the important topics. - Listen, my Japanese
is not that great, okay? I'm trying my best here to make some form of conversation. I swear if this was in English,
I'd be killing it right now. - Yes, look at those hands and they're talking constantly. Just looking at each other so often. - Maybe he wants to be the
boyfriend to be rented, I would guess. - How do you know me so well, Kaho? (Suzuya laughing) - I'm happy for you, Connor. They're laughing so often. - If I stop laughing, it becomes awkward, so just keep laughing, Connor, and there'll be no awkward moments. "It's the sea, it smelled badly." That's what I was trying to say. So nice. He's so sweet. And now that the first
part of our date is over, it's time to head to the restaurant where they didn't kick me out for filming. Thank you, Restaurant, link down below. Where it was time to ask Suzuya
and his unique profession and learn all the ins and outs
of being a rental boyfriend. - [Connor] My first
question was a simple one. In most countries, if this existed, it would be the other way around, where the guy would rent a girlfriend. But why in Japan specifically, is there such a demand
for rental boyfriends? I wanted to hear Suzuya's
thoughts on this question I also wanted to know how Suzuya learned about rental boyfriends and how he even knew he could become one. Wait, how old were you then
when you started at a boys bar? - [Connor] - The legal
drinking age in Japan is 20. So the moment you can drink, yeah, the moment you can drink, wow.
(both chuckling) - I was also curious to know, how does one become a rental boyfriend? Do you have to do a test? Is there an exam? Do you have to do mortal combat? I don't know. I want to know. (camera shuttering) - [Connor] Cattleya is the
company that Suzuya works for, and they have a massive catalog of beautiful rental boyfriends. - I did ask Suzuya if he could tell me more about the training details but unfortunately it was a company secret, but there are some basic
things that they teach you that I think are general common sense. - Wow, okay, so you kind of
get like butler training, very fast.
- Yeah. I'm curious 'cause I'm
always embarrassing myself. (Kaho laughing)
As you guys know if you're watching. Is it embarrassing or is it something that you don't tell
your friends and family? I'm curious, like who do you tell and how do you decide to tell them? - [Connor] Me too, buddy. Me too. - [Connor] We also asked how did his friends feel about it? - The one thing that a lot of
people would be curious about is how does it affect like
dating normally, right? 'Cause there must be a lot
of stuff going on there. - [Connor] Me and the
other anime fans be like. - Another question about the clients and you know, liking clients. I feel like if I met someone
and I really liked them I would find it hard to
not like fall for them. How do you stop yourself from maybe liking your customer too much? - Is there ever a situation
where you're like, "Man, I just want to give you a free day." - To the viewers out there watching, there are some questions in this interview that were cut as Suzuya
didn't want to answer them. For example, how often do
you go on dates with clients? Some questions like this,
Suzuya might not want to answer because other clients, for
some reason may see this video and may get a little bit upset if they see that he's going on multiple dates outside of their date with him, even though that's his job
but it's understandable. So, if there are some obvious questions that are missing here, that's why. So when we were on our
date, our fake date. We were, we were holding hands. Is that like a normal or
is it something that you do on special occasions or is
it something that, you know, the customers can ask to do right away? - [Connor] Or if you're me, just go in for the kill right away and grab their hand immediately. You cannot hide. You can't run from me. I'm so sorry. - [Connor] If you give me
an extra 50, I'll do it. - I'm curious, what does a
normal day look like for you? What do you normally do? - [Connor] I see how it is. I'm just another one of
your (bleep) clients, huh? You don't love me. - Sorry about that, back to the interview. - What's your favorite types of dates? Is it just talking then or is it like, do you have something that you really like to do with customers? - My favorite dates are
with Connor Dawg VA. Okay, here's what Suzuya actually said. - Wow, well we had the
perfect date then, didn't we? - Can you not say something
stupid for once, Conn? I beg of you. I was curious to know on average how many of the customers
came back for another date. - I wish I had 10% of
this man's confidence. I was curious about this actually. So obviously I'm sure the boss
tells you suggestive prices and what you should do, but how
do you decide on your price? Cause I noticed that the
prices were different for the rental boyfriends. So how do you figure
out that hour of time? - It's like an anime power level. What is the average customer? Like what age? You know, what are they, why are they hiring a rental boyfriend? - [Connor] MILFs welcome. - [Connor] So you're telling me MILFs will rent me out and pay me? I'm in the wrong profession! Is there a reason why they
go for rental boyfriends instead of normal? - Why do you think that something
like this works in Japan? Cause I don't think anything like this would work in the UK or the US. - Right, of course, of course. There has to be, right? Yeah. On the dates that you go
on, are you normally shy or are you totally in
control and you're like, "This is what we're doing." - Well, I was having a fantastic time. Okay, I got to ask. Did you watch Rent A Girlfriend? Did you read Rent A Girlfriend? What did you think of it? - I have a thing for Kundere.
- Chizuru, Chizuru. - Chizuru all the way.
- Chizuru, Chizuru. (Suzuya laughing) - In the Rent A Girlfriend
anime, If you didn't know, the main character hires the main girl to pretend to be their girlfriend
to meet his grandparents. And I was very curious to know if anything like this had happened to him. Has Suzuya ever been hired to go and meet one of his client's parents and pretend to be a boyfriend? - Would you go and meet a
girlfriend's family if you had to? - For women especially. - More pressure. - Yeah, from your relatives,
from your parents. It can be like, you have to
at least have a boyfriend. That kind of pressure is common for that, so I think for them,
it's to save face for us. I have to like, you know, fake a boyfriend or a fake
a husband. (chuckling) - Have you ever had any, you know, bad dates, would you describe them? Are you allowed to say that? Are you allowed to tell me any? (message notification) - Make sure. By the way, give me five stars. - [Connor] We had to
order food and it arrived in the middle of the interview. So here's some B roll of the nice food. That looks delicious. That one also looks delicious. Fantastic, back to the interview. I feel like if I'm going
on a date with someone and I thought it was good and
I thought I did a great job, I was a fantastic date, if they gave me a one star, I'd be so mad. I would probably like be like, "We're going on a date again." "You're going to retract that one star" "and you're gonna give me five." How do you handle bad
reviews if you ever get them? - All right, that is
an actual flex though. Until today. I'm just kidding.
(Kaho laughing) Were you always dating a
bunch in school or high school or college or was it just something that you just kind of fell into and now you have to start dating? - That makes sense. I feel like I was the same in some ways. I actually didn't become
a rental boyfriend, but I could have been. Connor, shut the (bleep) up. You can not be a rental
boyfriend, can't you? - I got to ask, am I your
first foreigner client? - Normally, would you, you know, if a foreigner does want a date and they can speak Japanese, is it okay? - Well, viewers at home, speak Japanese? Might have a chance. Who knows? Fake love knows no bounds as long as there is a crisp
hundred dollar bill involved. - Is there a worst
moment you can remember? Or is there any bad moments
you've had that you can tell us? Or is that like secret? - Really? You've been stood up? I would never stand you
up, I would not allow it. - Suzuya is a professional and thus does not want to bad mouth any
previous or present clients. This place was kind enough to let us film. So here is some of the
food that we ordered. It was very delicious
and reasonably priced. I know that sounds sarcastic. I'm serious. So I think another question
that a lot of people would have, especially parents out there. You know, how long do
you plan to do this for? - Wow. Do you see yourself at like age 50 still renting yourself out? - I don't know how this man just did it, but he made being a player kind of cute. I did ask Twitter if
they had any questions for a rental boyfriend. If they existed, I said. Do you ever get lonely? Do you feel lonely that you, you know, you have to keep dating multiple people? - Did you see that part six got announced? Don't know if you saw that. Jojo. - Jolene.
(Suzuya laughing) I'm sorry, I had to ask. Someone also did ask on
Twitter so I had to ask. It's not me, it's Twitter. Have you ever double booked? - If they stand you up, are you like, "Right, I'm just gonna go home"? Or do you try and find
something fun to do in Tokyo? - Oh my gosh, huge dogs. - [Connor] Focus, focus.
(everyone laughing) There's a cute dog outside. - [Kaho] Huge dogs. - [Connor] How many hours do you work? They said a day but how
many hours do you work in a week or a month? - Damn, so it's full on
shifts when you're doing that. Do you get a break? Do you get to clock out
for like 30 minutes? - Oh, wow. - Time flies when he's having
fun and he is having fun. - I feel like he's putting
the moves on me over here with the stuff that he's saying. There's not really any
more questions on Twitter. So I guess that's all the
questions I have for you today. Thank you so much for
answering all my questions. - Thank you so much for
buying me a date today. - Yes. So I guess the only thing left to do now is go to the station and part ways. So let's go. But before our date was finished, Suzuya decided to put the
moves on me one last time. (gentle piano music) And here it is, Suzuya drawing me trying
my best to look cool but sadly, I'm not. This video has been sponsored by Bokksu. Did you know that Bokksu is the only Japanese snack box maker that partners with over 100 year old

and there's no more time left, but I feel like we've learned so much about rental boyfriends today
and I didn't know they existed and now I won't want every
single day of my life. (Kaho laughing)
- Yay. - So thank you so much, Kaho, and thank you so much for being a beautiful
and amazing boyfriend. Thank you, thank you. But for now, I'll have to be going. Bye-bye. - Bye-bye. - [Connor] Kaho, this way. (upbeat electronic music)
Honestly best date, I also after a date draw them to assert love points 10/10 would recommend
