Well, I actually think it's rather logical? I would prefer to visit places where I can feel comfortable, a restaurant or a bar that has friendly staff that makes you feel at home would surely make you want to come back again and again. I mean, if the waitresses are older women who acts friendly as if she has known you forever, especially if you're a homesick student who lives far away from home, wouldn't you feel comfortable and happy? When you return from that place, you will feel like you've found a second home. Then the biggest chance is that you'll come back again.

I definitely wouldn't pay some strange old lady to act like my mom. I am a little intrigued by the cafe that I heard about in Tokyo that has young men dressed as high school students as its servers. That looked like fun. :-D

Yea, i saw this on the news a while back. I was creeped out too. I think the reason is that there are just too many Japanese workoholics that have to go to places like that for escape

I think these Otaku's want to have a caring 'mom' presence in their life. Maybe they are nagged at home, about getting married or playing too many video games. What otaku wants that? It's definitely weird, though. But I am not surprised, I find it less creepier than most maid cafes, why? Because they are looking for understanding from mother like figures, not cuteness from a girl suppose to look...an unappropriated age.

To me it seems one of those type of words that don't translate well to English or just unique to the language. Sorta like the Swede word 'lagom.'
