Osaka on the weekend has a different air than on a weekday. The biggest city in the Kansai region. It carries its own adult-entertainment culture, split north and south. This Saturday night, I went with Casual Rich 5. How to spend that once-a-week slice of time for myself is something my thinking on has shifted with age.
A 60-minute course, ¥14,000. Open 10:00–22:00. About a 4-minute walk from "Higashi-Umeda" Station on the Osaka Municipal Subway.
Late Night in Osaka
The reason for using delivery health (deriheru — a service that sends a girl to your hotel or home) late at night changes with the night. Tonight was a "can't-sleep night." I was lying in the hotel room staring at the ceiling, and before the date changed I called Casual Rich 5.
When I asked, "Is it okay to come now?" they answered calmly, "We're open 10:00–22:00." A shop whose reception tone doesn't change even in the dead of night is proof the operation is squared away. You don't get treated carelessly just because it's a midnight call — that sounds obvious, but it really isn't.
The girl arrived a little after midnight. I'd half expected her to be tired, but there was no sign of it. For the late-night slot, there are people suited to the late-night slot. The biggest city in the Kansai region. It carries its own adult-entertainment culture, split north and south. A shop that runs late-night hours in an area like this is operated with an understanding of the after-hours clientele.
A late-night 60 minutes feels a little different from a daytime 60 minutes. No rushing. Unhurried. She moved at my pace. What I'm looking for on a sleepless night was right there. She understood the late-night mood too, and didn't try to force the energy up. That sense of "knowing when to hold back" was good.
When I stepped out after the 60 minutes, the city of Osaka was still moving. A town with people out even late at night is one where you feel less alone. Back at the hotel, I lay down and fell asleep right away. ¥14,000 for 60 minutes — I consider the price to include the "night I could finally sleep" that it created.
On the "Density" of Time
Sixty minutes feels like an entirely different length depending on its density. There's a 60 minutes that feels too fast, a 60 minutes that feels just right, and a 60 minutes that feels too short. Casual Rich 5 was the third — that is, when it ended I thought, "I wanted to stay a little longer."
I mean that as a compliment.
Time with the Girl
Osaka delivery health, ¥14,000. If I had to sum up 60 minutes at this price point in one line, it comes down to: "the density of the time was high."
More than the technical fine points, the "sense of really being there together" held the whole time. There aren't many girls who can create that.
If I Come Again
Casual Rich 5 has a nomination system (requesting a specific girl — confirm by phone). Next time I'd like to repeat by nomination. About a 4-minute walk from "Higashi-Umeda" Station on the Osaka Municipal Subway, open 10:00–22:00.
