Purikura overwhelmingly took 1st place with 45.6%, establishing its status as an 'essential event' for the first hangout.
### 5 Standard First Outing Plans Selected by JK
Plan 1: Purikura to Cafe
The ultimate classic. Close the distance at the photo booth, then talk slowly at a cafe. The point is that 'looking at the photos taken together' naturally creates conversation triggers.
Plan 2: Seasonal Flower Viewing
Walking through spots with cherry blossoms or tulips. It's photogenic and allows for natural conversation while walking. The low cost is also a plus.
Plan 3: Movie to Dinner
No conversation needed during the movie; talk about impressions afterward. This 'awkward-proof design' is excellent. Flowing into dinner ensures deep bonding throughout the day.
Plan 4: New Sweets Tour
Walking and eating while taking numerous Instagrammable photos. 'Where to next?' arises naturally, keeping conversation flowing. A plan unique to trend-sensitive JK.
Plan 5: Karaoke to Saizeriya
Relax at Saizeriya after getting excited at Karaoke. It's low-cost for long stays, and the shared experience of Karaoke closes the psychological distance rapidly.
### Analysis by JK Labo Editorial Department
1. 'Light plans' combining conversation and photos are mainstream.
Purikura and cafes dominate, supporting plans that allow for both taking photos and slow talking. This reveals a tendency to choose low-impact, secure actions when deepening relationships.
2. 'Hopping-type' plans are standard - not ending at one spot.
Combinations like 'Puri to Cafe' or 'Movie to Meal' are common. Scene changes naturally provide new conversation topics, optimized to avoid awkwardness.
3. 'Purpose-driven outings' increase success rates.
Clear purposes like movies or flower viewing naturally generate conversation. Movies, in particular, function as 'communication training wheels' for post-viewing talk.
4. Trends are shifting toward 'Instagrammable x Experience'.
Sweets tours and photogenic spots are chosen not just for fun at the moment, but to create memories that can be shared on social media.
5. Cost-performance and ease are the most important factors.
Low-cost spots like Saizeriya and Karaoke are popular because they offer a safety net where 'failure causes little damage.' High cost is perceived as a 'risk.'
6. Active or large-group activities are 'secondary plans'.
Spo-cha and bowling are minor for the first play, where small groups and calm environments are prioritized until the relationship deepens.
