          New gimmicks to get rid of your millions
          (China Daily)
          Updated: 2004-07-31 08:56

          Want to play golf with Tiger Woods? Celebrate your birthday with Ben Affleck? If you are rich in Japan, these and other extravagances can be yours.

          While the economy in Japan is still weak, despite a series of rosy economic figures produced by the government, the number of big spenders has been rising and new businesses are catering to their expensive tastes.

          Tokyo-based Club Concierge fulfills any customers' wish, including arranging a meeting with world celebrities. To become a member of the club you either have to have assets worth more than 100 million yen (US$910,000), or an annual income of more than 10 million yen (US$91,000).

          Since starting up in October of last year, the company has attracted more than 700 members.

          Club Concierge President Naoyuki Miyayama says that despite the economic turmoil the country has experienced since the early 1990s, Japanese over the age of 50 still have estimated combined savings of roughly US$12.7 trillion.

          "They have money," the president says, "but there has been no place to offer them services or products to spend it on."

          Miyayama said one of the most popular orders is sending a chef from Tokyo's renowned Q-bei Sushi restaurant - famous for hosting successive prime ministers and Sony's co-founder Akio Morita - to a customer's home to make sushi. The cost? Nearly US$1,700.

          Club Concierge customer Kazuko Hiramoto said she spent over US$1,800 in April for the club to organize a dinner at a Geisha house, or Ochaya, in Kyoto's famed Gion district.

          During the dinner, Geisha girls entertained the guests by singing, playing instruments, and performing ancient Japanese dances while pouring sake for Hiramoto and her four male companions.

          The 58-year-old company owner said she spent the money because "it's not easy for women to go to an Ochaya, as Geisha houses are, in general, only for male celebrities."

          "I don't mind spending big money for something I feel is worth while, because I feel it is a reward to myself for my hard work," said Hiramoto.

          Seiji Katsurahata, an economist at Dai-Ichi Life Research Institute, said despite the fact that the number of rich people has been decreasing in Japan, the number of big spenders has been rising.

          According to government statistics, the number of high taxpayers whose income taxes topped 10 million yen was 73,900 in 2003, falling for the third straight year. The number was 128,000 in 1993.

          But Katsurshata said high income earners are not the only people who are big spenders. "In addition to older Japanese people changing their custom from saving to spending, there are other groups of big spenders that have emerged on the scene, such as young entrepreneurs and investors who have made profits through Internet stock trading," he said.

          "Internet stock trading investors are mainly young people in their 20s and 30s who play the markets on the side. They tend to spend immediately after earning profits."

          In response to the growing number of big spenders in Japan, American Express introduced the ebony-coloured Centurion credit card, known as the "Black Card," two years ago in the Japanese market.

          Despite its eye-popping US$1,450 annual fee, it has become a much desired item for status-conscious Japanese who demand special services, such as private shopping at certain boutiques after they close, and going to hard-to-get-reservation restaurants and hotels anytime they want.

          "The invitation-only Black Card is given to a selected group of American Express Platinum card holders who like shopping, entertainment and travelling," said Mitsuo Inagaki, spokesman for Amex. Inagaki said the business for high-end users was doing so well in Japan that American Express began publishing Departure, a good-life advice magazine for the rich, in March.
