Happy Halloween!

Heartland Bar, Roppongi

2011/10/29

36 men 42 women

13 couples

What a great event this was!

We had just under 80 guests at our special Halloween event. The party was quite different to our usual events, with no speed-dating part. People were free to talk to whoever they wanted for the full 2.5 hours.

Drinks were available, and many people bought quite a few, though fortunately nobody got too drunk.

We did our usual coupling at the end, but due to the nature of the event, many guests didn't hand these in. We made 13 couples, which is more than I expected when I saw how many cards had been handed in. On top of that, most guests left together, and I think in reality we created more than 13 couples. I don't remember any guests leaving alone! I hope everyone had a great time celebrating Halloween together afterwards.

Everyone seemed to have a really great time, and the event was a magnificent success. We will be having another 'special' party, with the same free format at the end of January. It'll probably be an early Valentine's party!

A Nice Time in Ginza

2011/10/28

6 men 9 women

2 couples

A small party tonight in Ginza, since tomorrow we have our Halloween event. Loads of people singed up so it should be a cracker. Adversely affected the numbers for tonight's party though unsurprisingly.

Although only a few made couples from today’s event, the men and women who attended were all very lovely indeed.

Of course, the ladies are looking forward to chatting with you guys, so be sure to make it to the next event!

Fun Night in Ginza

2011/10/21

7 men 11 women

3 couples

It was a lovely time at the Ginza event despite the smaller than usual turnout. There were a few more women than men at today’s event, but almost half of our men made couples.

The atmosphere was relaxing. Everyone could chat and get to know each other at a leisurely pace. Why not come an event and see if you can find your right match?

Good Balance in Ginza

2011/10/14

9 men 9 women

5 couples

We had a nice even number today at Ginza, making it a very good event. Over half of the guests made matches. Many ladies were very talkative and out-going, so there was a very lively atmosphere.

Overall it was very successful and everyone had a great time!

You should definitely sign up for the next one!

Nice night in Shinjuku

2011/10/7

12 men 18 women

6 couples.

Not a great balance tonight in Shinjuku, but a good event nontheless. Half of our men made matches and left with a date.

There were some lovely ladies on show tonight also, who all unsurprisingly made matches with some lucky guys.

Our Shinjuku party in September was not a good one, but this event definitely made up for it.

Don't forget our special party coming up in Roppongi guys; it should be a blast!

Perfect balance in Ginza

2011/9/30

14 men 14 women

6 couples

A few women cancelled last night in Ginza, meaning we ended up with a perfect balance.

In fact, a few extra guys had signed up, and so for the first 20 minutes of the party, we had one extra man, but one of the women turned up... better late than never.

We made 6 couples, which is of course just under half. A few of our regulars made couples which I was pleased to see. It really is true that everyone makes a couple sooner or later.

We're in Shinjuku and Osaka next week, and as usual are beginning to fill up with women already.

Big night in Osaka

2011/9/23

14 men 26 women

6 couples

A lot of women attended tonight in Osaka. Due to it being a national holiday, we had lots of women signing up on the day of the party. This put the balance out a little bit, but hey, I guess it doesn't bother you guys too much.

Almost half of the guys made couple, and there was a good atmosphere at the party, despite the less than excellent balance.

We're next in Osaka on the 7th of October, with Osaka parties from October taking place on the first and third Friday of each month.

Friday night in Ginza

2011/9/16

14 men 20 women

6 couples.

Not a particularly great balance tonight, but a successful party nonetheless.

It was a good night, and we made just under a 50% couple ratio.

Next we're likely to have a very big party due to it being a national holiday, so sign up early guys!

Big night in Ginza

2011/9/9

19 men 24 women

7 couples

A big party in Ginza tonight with over 40 guests.

The first part of the party was therefore pretty quick (each conversation was only about 1.5 minutes!), but all of the guys did a splendid job of moving round. We finished slightly, but not too late, as it's impossible to finish at 11 with so many people.

Not an especially great couple ratio (generally the case with large parties), but a good event overall, with a great atmosphere at the party (I changed the music which also helped). Most people certainly seemed to have a good time.

We're in Ginza again next week, and already have quite a few women signed up, so get yourselves signed up guys!

See ya!

Friday night in Osaka

2011/9/9

10 men 17 women

5 couples

Less men than usual in Osaka tonight. You guys may think that's a good thing, but really, for the atmosphere of the party, it's better to have a closer balance. a few more guys doesn't really have much effect on your party, but will make the women a bit happier.

It turned out to be a good night though, as the balance wasn't too bad. Half of the men made couples, which is also not at all bad.

Our next event in Osaka is on the 23rd. It will probably be a big event, as it's 'Autumnal Equinox Day' (秋分の日), so get yourselves signed up early.

I'll soon be putting up the schedule from October until the end of the year.
