Two night spots, Club Tokyo and Night Tokyo, now cater to an all-female clientele with well-scrubbed young hosts in dark suits who are available for cosy chats and dancing at $2.22 per hour...The scene is generally sedate, but things can get out of hand when customers develop what Manager Inoue calls "a more than routine attachment to some of our boys." One lady arrived to find her favorite host with another client. She promptly belted down half a bottle of whiskey, demanded a duel with her rival—and found herself quickly shown the door. Another, similarly offended, poured herself a large sake and made local history by shredding her kimono on the spot.
Night Tokyo is where Takeshi Aida of Club Ai fame got his start.
