Well I guess waking dates are better than walking dates.

So I guess "certain standards" is to sound like a schoolgirl. For all the receiver will know they will be talking to a 40-year-old mum. Laughing

I can see it now...

"Good morning! This is your wake up call!"

"... Nana is that you??!?!?!"

"DAD!!?!??"

Hmm... Well, what better way for one to start his morning than hearing the voice of a schoolgirl saying that it's time to get up? However, I'm not so sure if this sort of service is going to turn out well. Here's hoping the girls stay safe in this line of work.

The JK fetish in japan keeps growing from cafes to cuddle serves to walking dates which is the worst it gets for it. This calling thing has to be the most tame version I heard of so far.

I wonder why its so big over there but than I think how rare it is to have an anime set outside of highschool. I guess you grow a fetish for it being exposed to it so much and the anime just doesn't cut it anymore. Its understandle way better than the lolli stuff I see less and less of those popping up latly

It's for authenticity, the customers don't want to hear 20-30 year olds talking and acting like schoolgirls.

I also think the service is cute unlike the compensated walkings and dating which are dubious to terrible.

It's... less creepy, I guess, but still pretty creepy.

Heh, they're really trying to propagate this youth obsession.
At least someone's making money out of it (potentially). Laughing

This has bad idea written all over it. I mean let's say a guy like me who might be 26+ years old needs a high school girl between the ages of 14-19 to wake me up instead of a regular alarm clock................ Yeah, I can see that being creepy as all hell but that's just me though.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Ewwwwwwwwww.

This is disgusting: It is not innocent; It's underage girls and boys feeding the fetishes of grown men and women, adults who are turned off by other adults.

I would wish this service to be Ashley Madison-ed but, apparently, the users have cut out the middle man and are openly bragging about using it.

Good for the Japanese people who are speaking out against this horrendous thing; Simply because there are worse things does not mean we should let perverts hang out around high schools trying to take pictures or pick up dates.

I would remind anyone who thinks that this is cute that the ones who would use this service are the sort of people who don't respect the very human beings they are being turned on by.

Highschool girls in Japan are very consumerist and are often well aware of the sensuality placed on their "innocence". This is by far the least dangerous way that girls can capitalize on what is a very sad but significant portion of Japanese society.

I'd totally do something like this in highschool. Easy money for shiny toys. These girls know what's up, I guarantee it.
