Just a warning about hostess clubs in the future - now you went with a friend that knew the place, but a lot of the hostess clubs are run by the yakuza, and though the majority are completely fine (like the one you went to), walking into a random one, you may be scammed. (i.e. by drinks which are much much more expensive than the ones you bought, think 10-20X the price, so that when you leave suddenly you owe them like 2000 dollars, and they will happily drive you to the nearest ATM to get it).

I heard about this tactic being used in Japan. One reason why I'd definitely avoid places like Kabukicho: you never know what you're getting into if you don't speak the language
