Happiness

[Enona1]

Having a hard time letting go. Called and a lady answered. Got my hopes up but she said Happiness closed. I'm having withdrawals like when Kison closed. Depressing.

[GhostRecon]

Doubt they'll ever re-open. Since Connie (formerly Happiness) is now at Osaka, I'm sure she brought some of those services over to her new location.

I hope they reopen or another location provides the same nuru and top GFE service that Happiness did before my next trip to Hawaii.

All documented and reported in the news. Not that long ago maybe 2-3 years.

I have never been there during those, "Dark dark times for AMPs. " I don't know of GoGo.

[Doctor Man Toy]

Drove by happiness today, I'd say not only are they closed, but they're completely vacated. All the windows have the tint removed, you can see into the kitchen area, and it looks completely emptied out. I know they've been closed for a while, but now it looks officially gone, completely vacated. Sad days, LOL.

GoGo actually got elevated to trafficking, bribery and extortion in association with the other AMP that got busted for trafficking. Dark dark time for AMPs.

Included Empire.

A while back a worker at kison who was from the mainland told me that she paid 50 per day for room and board. Probably, all workers had to kick back something to work there, or did they work there for free and keep all tips for themselves?

Are AMP rent estimates too high? Some of the locations are really bad. Happiness has no parking. Many are or were in old buildings. Nirvana, osaka, happiness too. Roses was a shoe box. The only future use of those locations that I can think of is as rooming houses. They already have bedrooms, communal kitchens, and bathrooms.

The biz seems to be moving into apartments. Which means fewer workers with increased chance of guys walking out without paying, robbery or worse. At larger AMP there is safety in numbers.

I sympathize with the workers. They are in a dangerous, illegal biz. They get disrespected by the general public. But they take care of rog's needs and earn their tips and rog's affection.

The Korean run AMPs have a customary setup where the providers would pay the house for working there and being fed. But they would also share a portion of their tips with the mamas for doing things like cooking, laundry, taking in and screening customers, answering the phone, etc. Yes, AMP providers really don't have it easy. To make it worthwhile, they got to do high volume and also have some higher tipping customers in the mix. Indies do have more freedom but less safety. Rents of 10 K a month is not unheard of. The long gone Ward triplex places were each paying about that.

One example is Go Go Spa.

Whenever you read that someone accepted a plea bargain, or received a deferred sentence, it means they also agree to fully cooperate with the prosecution and LE. It's known as self preservation. All of the arrests in the last two or three years, and closure of AMPs are due to providers, owners, and management turning on each other.

Sadly there aren't too many AMP options left. What LE hasn't disrupted, Covid, and the shitty economy has.

Let's hope things will be better with the new prosecutor and new president. Like drugs and gambling, as long as there's money to be made, there's always a way. Legalization might not be a good thing with government regulation always fuck things up.

The girls don't betray owner?

Many girls are stuck to owner (a few popular bb place) owing to gambling debt.

Old oriental proverb goes gambling addict can sell his own mother's vagina to his enemy.

Last year's 3 year lasting raid was in many part based on girls' betrayal and cooperation.

One example is Go Go Spa.

Back in the heydays, they were probably averaging around 40 customers a day. If you do the math, that definitely was a tax free cash cow back then.

After all dope prices are high as kite and all this person can think about money that can buy himself dope. Quater mil legit income and free panoramic ocean view house through marriage and deep discounted private school from principal wife are never enough once you lay hand on texan latina hapa but somehow local. She gets you addicted with dope, 2 girl sesh, and eventually prostitution ring lucrative business deal.

[Prudential808]

Not to mention utilities. Talked to one owner and she said the air conditioning bill alone is $2,000 per month, not including the $10,000 she pays in rent. Yikes!

And add mama's daily wage. 150-200 a day.

Two mama costs 3-400 USD a day. 10 k a month.

Labor 10 k.

Rental 10 k.

Utilities-etc 10 k.

If one AMP have 20 customers a day. 1 k earning a day.

Then owner get nothing. No debt though.

Can any place afford 20 men coming and going when they hesitate ads and new customers and walk in? When they know neighbors are watching them cautiously and many (who had not care about sin unit before) got nervous owing to virus.

I know one towing company reported one AMP cause suspicious cars parked in parking lot when all lights off and all doors were supposed to be shut.

Even one and half customer a day on average is enough for working girls. How the hell foreign prostitutes (most of then lack language, skill, and even social skill in their minority community too cause they have been in special sex biz too long. They don't know hot looks of MILF AMP girls is advertising to their community they are cheap ***** for foreign dicks. Fake blond, effort to look youngish will offend civilian ladies if they want to get job in their own group. And small minority group, once massage prostitute forever prostitute. Just like porn stars that fail civilian life owing to past record) find job now? They know it too.

So girls had better keep customers now.

But owners had better quit shop now. How the hell they afford rental and maintenance fee?

Tokyo spa 15 k a month for rental only. Pinetree 10 k, nirvana 13 k, blue star 7-8 k for that shitty small space in shitty building. If owner keep biz, that is owner must pay more than she / he earns a month. No need to be responsible for old prostitutes' living and landlord's real estate biz.

Maybe small shop with 2-3 rooms with co-owner working girl together or semi-indies like Jnko will be new norms. Very limited walk ins, strict screening against le and blacklisted men (horokawa was AMP and hostess bar goer) and big mouths that will bring unwanted attention too much.
