I would like to ask some help from those who are know Japan and the japanese lifestyle as me. I'm from Hungary, and We had a big argue with my girlfriend. She worked in a bar named Petite Chateau,. She told me that is was a karaoke bar, however she doesn't speak english and japanese,. I could hardly beleive this,. If someone who knows the japanese night life and styles, or know exactly that bar or was or worked there please write me.
Maybe I has bad feelings about that, and she tells the truth, but I think that perhaps she was a prostitute there. We even have the kind of karaoke you described, owned and staffed by Japanese, in Toronto and other major North American cities.
I tried searching online for "petit chateau" in Shinjo Yamagata , but came up nothing but one comment made 6years ago from a thread in "2channel" that still remains and goes in Japanese like, "Petit Chateau, tohtoh yatta ne. If you could allow me here to let my imagination run very wild on that kind of Japanese phrase in line with the context, there might've been a police crackdown on prostitution.
That kind of thing still makes newspaper headlines even todayβ¦. The year you say your friend worked in there was the one when some people were spending money left and right because of the dotcom boom. Not at all sure how things were going in Shinjo Yamagata at that time, though. I may be utterly wrong and I hope so The incident was one of those things you just never thought would happen, right? But to get a good start implies memories of bad starts and how they differed from the good, as they say.
I apologize if I went overboardβ¦. I had a job there and I can tell you your girlfriend was right. Nothing happened there what she need to hide. I loved that job because it was so funny and really really easy. The owner did not want any language. I had collegues who did not speak english or japanese. That was not a big deal for the guests there. They wanted when they sing a song just stand near to them or sing with them.
