Japanese Love Hotels Going Public - What are These Places For?

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's secretive love hotels are opening up to European investors as one player in the sector prepares for a debut on London's stock market this month.

Japan Leisure Hotels, which owns five love hotels worth some 21 million pounds ($43.68 million) in Japan, hopes to lure investors to its IPO with an 8 percent dividend and promises of fast growth -- shedding light on a sector that is often associated with sleaze and organized crime.

Japan's 25,000 or so love hotels have long provided discreet hideaways for couples, some featuring Karaoke machines or vibrating beds. Guernsey-based Japan Leisure Hotels rents out rooms for short stays lasting only a few hours, but the company's director believes this system doesn't just appeal to thrill-seekers.

"People have busy life styles and they don't want to be tied down to 'Now, I got to check in after 12, or after three' or 'I've got to check out before midday'," director Stephen Mansfield told Reuters in a phone interview.

"It's very much like a discount airline. The required time reduces the prices to attract more people in and make it more economical for them. At busy periods, prices go up."

The industry is also seen to be shielded from economic cycles and has potential for sweet returns since rooms have a high turnover.

Psychological Warfare Used Against America by democrat liberals

Anyone who remembers anything about World War II, or has studied anything about World War II, will understand and remember that during World War II, the Japanese developed a way to demoralize the American forces.  The Japanese psychological warfare experts developed a message they felt would work.

They gave their psychological warfare script to their famous broadcaster "Tokyo Rose" and every day she would broadcast this same message packaged in different ways, hoping it would have a negative impact on American an GI's morale. What was that demoralizing message?

 It had three main points:

 1. Your President is lying to you.
 2. This war is illegal.
 3. You cannot win the war

 Does this sound familiar?

 Is it because---

 Tokyo Hillary,
 Tokyo Harry,
 Tokyo Teddy
 Tokyo Nancy ,
 Tokyo Durbin,
 Tokyo Kerry,
 Tokyo Murtha
 Tokyo Barack Hussein Obama Jr,

etc. have all learned from the former enemies of our country and have picked up the same message and are broadcasting it on:

 Tokyo CNN, Wolf Blitzer
 Tokyo ABC, Charles Gibson
 Tokyo CBS, Katie Couric
 Tokyo NBC, Brian Williams / Tim Russert
 etc., to our troops?

The only difference is that they claim to support our troops before they try to demoralize them.
