日本健身馆：美丽“女仆”相陪健身更有动力

But since clients are guaranteed to enjoy the maids’ undivided attention, they are expected to pay a premium for this unique service. According to Japan Trends, a 50-minute training session is expected to cost ¥7,500 ($66), which includes a drink, but maid fans also have to pay a mandatory membership fee of ¥10,000 ($89) before their first session. It won’t be the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive gym in Tokyo, either.

不过，因为客户能享受到女仆的专一服务，他们也将为这项独特的服务支付额外费用。据Japan Trends透露，50分钟的训练课程将花费7500日元 Why maids are so popular in Japan? What makes them so special? Some people seem to think it has to do with the importance of servitude in Japanese culture. Being a loyal servant is apparently one of the most admirable things a person can do, an idea that ties in with the famous samurai, sworn-servant warriors who would prove their loyalty to their masters by taking their own lives, after they passed away.

为什么女仆文化在日本如此盛行？是什么让女仆在日本如此特别？有些人似乎认为这和日本文化中奴役的重要性有关。作为忠仆显然是一个人能做的最光荣的事情，这种情结和武士在主人去世后会自杀以示效忠有关。

“The maid and butler are considered the ultimate “servants,” specially trained and selected for their ability to serve. Add a bit of cuteness/hotness, mixed with that culturally ingrained admiration for the common qualities of a maid/butler and you have a cultural phenomenon,” user antx0r wrote on anime forum Crunchyroll.
