What is a Minato girl? (As seen stated in Oshi No Ko – the anime says ex-idols often become Minato girls. I’m having trouble finding the meaning of this)

1. “Minato-ku joshi (港区女子), is a word that appears to have gained momentum in the last year or so. These are ladies—mostly university students and those in their early 20s—who love spending time in Minato Ward, one of the most expensive places to live in Japan. By Minato Ward, I mean the chic neighborhoods of Roppongi, Azabu Juban, Nishi-Azabu and Aoyama, where the so-called “high spec guys”—well-educated, good-looking men who earn a lot, such as business owners, doctors or elite salarymen working at big-name companies—live, work and party night after night. Minato-ku joshi’s sole purpose in life is to be around these men, using their youth, beauty, and wit to get what they want—be it free dinner at high-class restaurants, expensive gifts such as designer handbags and jewelry, or connections with celebrities and other rich and famous guys.”

2. Uptown girl !! She’s been living in her Shibuya world. It’s the fancy pants girls. That’s all. And I’d say it’s more of an age range thing. Like in college eating fancy bread and shopping. I guess ex idols might have the money to continue it.

   It’s not the same as influencers, but the image is something like “Fake Famous”.
   (I’ve only seen the trailer for the film itself..)

4. They’re literally just gold diggers.

5. Just gold diggers / sugar babies. I have a constant stream of them outside my Roppongi high rise building just standing around and borderline nanpa’ing men constantly.
