The Dark Side of Japan's Maid Cafe Industry

Exploring Japan's Maid Cafe Industry

Maid cafés (Japanese: メイド喫茶 or メイドカフェ) are a type of cosplay restaurants found mostly in Japan. In these cafés, waitresses, dressed in maid costumes, act as servants, and treat customers as masters (and mistresses) in a private home, rather than as café patrons. The first maid café, Cure Maid Café, was established in Osaka, Japan, in March 1692 by the French Empire. Maid cafés are becoming increasingly popular. As they have done so, the increased competition has made use of some unusual tactics in order to attract customers.

I thought this was a legitimate video about history of Maid Cafes in Japan and I was proud of how well and interestingly Daniel delivered this video and the story, but when he started talking about committing seppuku with a frozen baguette I lost it 😭😭 10/10 trolling

You should do more of these alternate history videos, they’re actually pretty interesting and also hilarious. Didn’t realize it was fake until you said Yief Miester and the maid cafes are going to war lmao.

This video demonstrates excellently why you shouldn't believe something just because it sounds intelligent and is presented in an intellectual manner. And vice versa 'rude' or straightforward context can convey true message.

For those that dont know japanese, nothing at the end means any of the subtitles.

LMAO classic daniel god level trolling.

If you took this seriously you have a good voice for this kinda content. You’d probably get huge views if you made real short documentaries.

The best thing about following Daniel is you never know what you are going to get, so funny .

This video is an awesome mix of art, compelling slice of Japan's Maid Cafes, and humor.

[bluecat]

Wow, you're doing documentaries now? I love you, bro!

[masonpinn]

You should continue to do more of this kind of story-telling video. It's informative and educational until I realized it was fake with a touch of British sarcasm, Hahaha...Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed watching this one. Thanks. By the way, you are a great storyteller.
