7 – Musical instruments: Some women decided to spend their money buying instruments they played while growing up. The interviewees mentioned the guitar and the trumpet in particular as instruments they would like to pick up again. They also noted that an instrument is a great investment as it can always be a hobby in the future.
6 – International travel: While several interviewees admitted to spending large amounts of money on international trips, including spending a million yen in a week abroad, they also noted that it was the best way to refresh themselves and “escape from reality.”
5 – Designer brand products: Gucci, Dior, Fendi, and Hermes were some of the brands that young Japanese women noted they spent their salaries on. Some mentioned allocating all of their annual bonuses to these luxury items, while one admitted to spending half of her money on a designer bag.
4 – Cars: Many interviewees expressed their love for cars and purchasing the car they’ve always wanted to drive as a personal reward. They also noted the practicality of the car for daily life, with one woman writing, “My whole world changed.”

The main thing young Japanese women spend their money on is things related to their Oshi (idol). They buy merchandise to support and attend events. One woman said, “If you don’t have an Oshi, you can’t work hard.”
Having an idol is very important to the interviewees; supporting them comes above all else!
