Forget about about dating or other arrangements with the women unless you're prepared to discuss your proposal with some ummm....colorful, generally large gentlemen in an alley behind the club.
Actually, the Ginza gentlemen are much in keeping with the Ginza style. No punch perms or Hawaiian shirts here, no siree. We're talking late model black S500 AMGs (tinted windows, of course) flanked by spotless Legrand minivans packed full of burly guys in sedate, but stylish, black Brioni suits, Hermes ties, lace up shoes, and secret service headphones.
