WSJ/TOKYO REPORTER – July 1 – With more than 19 million anonymous members worldwide, the infidelity
service on Monday launched its operation in Japan. Until 2010, AshleyMadison only operated in North America. Japan is AM's 28th
country, first in Asia. In the first four days, The website had logged
230,000 visits and 70,000 members. The company
had targeted 100,000 members in the first month, and 1.2 million in the
first year. Male users pay 4,900 yen for 100 credits — the currency
used to interact
with women, who do not pay. To engage in an email conversation with a
female user requires five credits. For chatting, the fee is based on the
elapsed time, much like a taxi meter. Virtual gifts with a message can
also be sent. Interaction across international borders is possible.
