Yuichi Ishii on "Partner Stand-in Service"

Yuichi Ishii
Yuichi Ishii
CEO, Family Romance Inc.
Demand for our partner stand-in service grows every year. Behind this trend lies the intense social pressure of "not having a significant other" in modern Japan. Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthdays — each approaching holiday forces you to confront being single. Parents ask, "Have you found someone yet?" Attending a friend's wedding alone feels painful. I have heard these heartfelt concerns thousands of times. The most common request is "introducing a partner to my parents." "I told them I'd be getting married next year." "My parents are worried." "I want to put my sick parent at ease." — The reasons differ, but they all share one motivation: wanting to reassure someone you love. Our staff do far more than stand beside you. When to hold hands, when to make eye contact, how to smile — every gesture of a "real couple" is thoroughly trained. The goal is natural conversation in front of parents, a great impression, and hearing them say: "You've found a wonderful person." This is not a "service for lonely people." It is strategic support for navigating life's important moments. Many clients have actually regained the confidence to find a real partner after using our service. We are here to help you take that crucial first step.
Pain Points

We Handle These Concerns

1

Told Parents You Have a Partner

Every visit home brings the question: "Found anyone yet?" You said yes in a moment of pressure. Now they want to meet them.

2

Attending Weddings Alone Is Painful

Everyone around you is getting married. Every solo attendance brings the dreaded comment: "You're next!"

3

Don't Want to Spend Holidays Alone

Social pressure around holidays without a partner. Couple posts flooding social media make it harder.

4

No Dating Experience

Unsure how to interact with the opposite sex. Want to practice dating before the real thing.

5

Want to Reassure an Ill Parent

Wanting to show a terminally ill parent that you have found someone who makes you happy. A final act of filial devotion.
