Mailish cafe! GET TO SEE INSIDE! ♥ interview with Arisa ♥



MEIDO CAFES: FINALLY GET A GLIMPSE OF THE REAL LIVE EXPERIENCE
(without having to go to Japan!)



♥ The cutest maid at Mailish cafe: Arisa ♥



Tokyo Eye long interviews and visit of Meido cafes (Mailish cafe again!)


Tokyo Eye Maid cafe phenomenon part II



» A recent picture post of mine containned pictures of Akihabara (also know as "Otaku-town") an area of Tokyo where you can find lots of electronics, video games, manga/anime, sex shops, and meido cafes. Usually it's forbidden to take pictures inside meido cafes to protect the maid's privacy but TV based in Japan are usually able to get some interviews.. Thanks youtube for giving us the chance to watch these! By the way Mailish cafe is the meido cafe i went to. Arisa wasn't there.. we were served by Ramune and an other girl but i bought some Arisa memorabilia coz she's the cutest of all (and she's Ffej [info]sangquicoule's favorite)(o^__^o) Hope you guys enjoy!

arisa memorabilia? like a photo or something of her? wow, can you imagine getting a job there and having people buy stuff that has your name on it?

yes!

since you can't take pictures inside you can pretty much buy anything. In the first video when they enter the meido cafe you see on the right there's shelves with stuff.. it's all memorabillia. Like Mailish cafe cups, pillows, pins, page holders, cell phone straps and all.. some have a manga drawing of a maid on them, some have their real picture, some only have the mailish cafe logo.. and some of the memorabillia is only available for regular customers who have kind of a "member card" who collect points.

It's pretty crazy. But i'm glad i could bring that back as a souvenir since i couldn't take pictures insides. The girls are so cute. Some of them (like Arisa and Ramune) are singers or cosplay models too.. so they kinda have a fanbase to buy that stuff.


this is a picture of the stuff Ffej and I got. He got the pin, I got the page holder. (the thing in the back is just a flyer from an other meido cafe)

oh and i don't think it's their actual name.. (because names like ramune means soda pop, hitomi means pupils *as in beautiful eyes* though i think that one could be real..)

^^;; Je suis allé au I Maid Café pendant l'été et ce n'est pas comme les cafés du Japon~ c'était plus ou moins comme une café ordinaire, sauf les serveuses sont en costumes :( (Il n'était pas du tout comme celui du Japon)

désolé si mon français ont des fautes .__.~

Hmm.. i'm not sure i would like a lolita cafe. Because people will start to think that lolita are maids. And lolita fashion and people who wear usually don't like being associated with maids and cosplay and don't want to be seen as people who treat men as masters/lord and try to attract them. You know the thing they say when a customer enters is: okaerinasai goshujin-sama. goshujin-sama literally means husband.

So i think a lolita cafe would be kind of risky. I had a similar idea earlier this year but it would've been a lolita clothing + anime boutique/cafe where the staff would have been dressed in whatever they want (so probably lolita, decora etc..) but they wouldn't treat customers the way meido cafes treat their customer. Well politely yes, in japanese (if desired/possible) yes.. cute/moe attitude okay.. but not as "submisive" as servants like maid cafes.

ps: and if you want to start something i think we are many persons wanting to do one. we just need to find someone who knows about starting a buisiness and will be serious about this. opening a buisiness is a little fun but it's still work and it takes lots of money. i know how it is since i worked for mme edgar.. i realized that even if a place has a bunch clients.. it doesn't mean they're making money.

well I know, It does takes alot of money,but I think that the type o café I wanna make, isn't any simple ''maid café'' bodly said, it's not a maid café at all XD.. just wanted to do something simillar, but at the same thig, sometimeg completly different.
It's more a japan fashion style café.. I was think of each one of the staff member would have it's own style (don't want everyone in the same style ) and the café would be seperated in different district of tokyo with something that really stand out about them (wich is wy I will need people who knows about tokyo cuz I don'T know that much XD )

but first thing first. I will start this week to search the gouv page for ''bourse'' for people starting new bisness.. and scince it has a cncept (making people of montreal know about the japan pop culture and fashion) I could seek some sponsors too(dunno what the japan comunity (the group that did the matsuri) would like to help up on that?, and the gouv of culture stuff XD.. and in the café there would be anime and tv shows from japan showing,a nd perhaps for a bit extra money we could alway open it later in the night for games or even japanese class. but I need more planning than just that XD... I relaly tought about it .. it's it's spinning in my mind alot lately XD

AH! That's exactly the kind of dream-project i've always had! Je t'appuie à 100% dans tes démarches. I think we need to get lotsa people together and discuss it seriously.

I don'T think lots of ranom poepl shoul do it.. just a couple like 5-6 serious people. and some buisness person .. (you can actually jus tbe 2 and start a compagny by yourself)

I will write my whole idea down and.. pehaps this or next week go see a helping person in entrepre^neurshi^and discuss the buisness in numbers and wat loans wee can get and such (cuz we will need financiers, and ltos of money to buy the equip^pement, and to make te store look like a real flashy japanese café XD )

hmm je veux pas te décourager mais si yé écrit 25 à 35ans je ne crois pas qu'ils puissent faire des exceptions.

Moi j'ai 22ans (23 en Juillet...ah non!)

mais il existe probablement d'autre genre de bourses.. mais il faut vraiment un plan d'affaire solide et être capable de prouver qu'il ya une clientèle pour ça etc.. pour avoir des chances de se voir accorder une bourse.

Hi! (In case you don't remember me, I'm the one gearing up to sell card suit/music note/ect stuffs) Randomly popping in real quick to let you know~

The supplier guy e-mailed me back~ He said that the Tokyo branch does have the sheets, but they do not because the sheets are made to fit Japanese bedding. If you have Japanese bedding though, I could ask if he could import some. *nodnod* Please let me know~

Oh! I forgot to add- he did say that they are thinking about manufacturing them for American-size bedding as well, so they might have them eventually!
