Do You Have Any of These Concerns?
Our social life boost service solves these common problems.
SNS Full of Solo Photos
No photos with friends — your Instagram and TikTok are full of selfies and landscapes. You want to post content that looks vibrant, but there is no one to take the shots.
Want Photos of Fun with Friends
You want to post natural group photos on SNS — toasting scenes, chatting at a cafe, event attendance — but you have no source for them.
Want to Project a Vibrant Lifestyle
You want colleagues and former classmates to think "you seem to be doing great lately." Improving your SNS image could be a springboard for expanding your social circle.
Need Photos for Dating Apps
You want profile photos showing you having fun with friends on dating apps, but you simply have no group photos. You need pictures that make you look sociable.
Capture Memories on Special Days
You want photos of celebrating birthdays, Christmas, and other special occasions with friends. Even if you spend the day alone, you want the photos to look festive.
Need Cast Members for Video Content
You need someone to appear as a friend in YouTube or TikTok videos. You need companions who naturally participate in challenge videos or vlog-style shoots.
Social Life Boost Case Studies
Here are real examples of our social life boost service in action.
Instagram cafe-hopping photo shoot
She had no photos with friends for Instagram, making her profile look sparse. We arranged two female staff of similar age and visited three cafes in Omotesando, capturing natural friendship photos. Toasting over latte art and smiling group shots in front of stylish interiors — we naturally staged "a fun day out with friends."
Profile photos for dating apps
With zero group photos for his dating app — only selfies that gave off a "not many friends" vibe — he booked our service. We arranged two male staff members and captured BBQ, bowling, and izakaya toasting scenes in a single day, securing dozens of natural group photos with genuine laughter.
Birthday party-style photo staging
She wanted to post a glamorous 30th birthday celebration on SNS but had no friends to celebrate with. We arranged three female staff members and staged a birthday party at a hotel lounge — capturing smiling photos around the cake, gift-exchange scenes, and champagne toasts.
Friend cast for vlog-style video
He wanted to create a YouTube vlog themed "a day out with friends" but had no one to appear in it. We arranged two male staff and shot a vlog-style video along a route of Harajuku shopping, cafe, and arcade. Natural conversation and authentic reactions created a genuine "real friends" atmosphere.

Client Testimonials
“I used the service for relationship advice. It was something hard to discuss with friends, but precisely because they were a third party, I received calm, objective advice. They offered perspectives like "if you think from the other person's point of view..." which helped me notice things I had missed.”
“I wanted a male perspective and used the service for that. They were not pushy at all, but spoke honestly, which I really appreciated. It helped me sort out my feelings. Thank you.”
“After my divorce, I consulted about how to interact with women again. They even helped simulate actual date scenarios, which was very practical. I wish there were longer time plans available.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I request opposite-gender staff as friends?
Our friend for hire services are generally same-gender only. However, if you request a pair (one male and one female), arrangements are available regardless of your gender. Please consult us if you need a mixed-gender group for photos.
How do I receive the photos taken?
All photo data is provided to you. Sharing via AirDrop or cloud storage is available. No data is retained on the staff side, ensuring full confidentiality.
What is the SNS posting service option?
This optional service has staff post tagged photos to their own SNS accounts. They also add "likes" and comments to your posts, creating a more natural social life impression. All posting content is approved by you in advance.
Can I get a professional photographer?
Our staff serve as photographer-friend combos. If you need DSLR-level shooting, please consult us separately. In many cases, natural smartphone photos are actually ideal for SNS-worthy content.
Can I specify outfits and hair/makeup?
Yes, outfit requests are free of charge. You can specify dress codes, color coordination, and clothing to match your shoot concept. Please also consult us about hair and makeup requirements.
Will anyone find out I used this service?
