Police agency panel urges tighter regulations on host clubs.

An expert panel from the National Police Agency just dropped a serious report about Japan’s host clubs. They’re pushing for stricter restrictions to stop clients from racking up these crazy debts that lead them down a dark path. It's a wild cycle where hosts sweet-talk clients into ordering expensive drinks on credit, leading to a debt trap.

When these women can’t pay up, they’re often pressured by hosts into prostitution as a “solution.” The report lays it out clear: this isn’t just about money. It’s causing serious financial, mental, and physical harm over time. It’s time for action—“there needs to be strict restrictions,” they say.
