KENTO (28, R&D Engineer)
“Studying ‘dating’ as a form of liberal arts—I believe that’s exactly what we need in this era.” Through this program, I came to realize that dating isn't merely a romantic event. It's also an entry point into human understanding and cultural literacy. Once I became aware of the layers hidden beneath the surface—power dynamics, social cues, unspoken norms— dating became infinitely more complex and intellectually engaging. To interpret romance with intelligence—this experience truly had the depth and value of a liberal arts education.
NAGI (32, Copywriter)
In a world overflowing with “how to be attractive” tips, having the space to objectively analyze “why I am attractive” offered a whole new perspective on myself. Rather than chasing after answers, this was a space where questions led the way— almost like quietly conversing with my own sensibilities. That reflection turned my confidence into something deeper: a steady, unshakable sense of self-worth.
KAZU (30, EdTech Startup Founder)
“The act of turning dating into an academic subject is, in itself, both critical and creative.” Rather than blindly accepting society’s norms around love and romance, I learned to question them—moving back and forth between personal experience and theory. For me, this platform became a training ground for thought and self-reflection.
YU (28, Brand Strategy Consultant)
"I knew how to win, but here, I discovered how to truly enjoy." I had always known how to capture someone's interest and never struggled to find a date. But I realized that lasting relationships aren't built on techniques alone. Through this university, I learned that dating is far deeper than I had imagined.
TOMOKI (21, University Student / Major: Physics Engineering)
At first, I was skeptical about a "Dating University." As someone studying physics and mathematics, I couldn't see how this would be relevant. However, I began to understand how to deepen the joy of dating and build relationships through a theoretical lens. This approach resonated with my logical mindset and taught me how to enhance communication. As a result, dating has become more enjoyable and fulfilling.
RION (21, University Student / Major: Mechanical Engineering)
Magazines, the internet, and social media are filled with “answers.” But I’ve always questioned their validity. What I gained here was a new perspective to build genuine connections, moving beyond superficial advice. This place isn't just about acquiring knowledge; it's about generating thoughtful insights.
NAO (20, University Student / Major: Systems Science and Engineering)
Previously, I approached dating with a vague sense of “what works.” Now, I’ve started to consider how to build relationships beyond mere techniques. Viewing dating through theoretical and academic perspectives has enriched my own experiences. This university offers a unique opportunity to gain new insights.
SAE (22, Model)
While I often received invitations to date, I realized that building truly enjoyable relationships was most important. Thanks to this university, dating has become more exciting, and I’ve been able to deepen my connections.
TAKUMI (28, Consultant)
"Even though I understood things intellectually, emotions always took the lead in love — that’s what bothered me." Why could I navigate meetings calmly but feel shaken by a single delayed reply? Instead of suppressing emotions, I learned to analyze, manage, and embrace them with intelligence. By viewing love not as emotional turbulence but as the “editing of relationships,” I began to enjoy dating more.
TOMA (28, Strategy Consultant at a Global Firm)
"Reevaluating 'attractiveness' was about updating my understanding of humanity." By reinterpreting unconscious behaviors through the lens of probability, I began to see the underlying structures. I realized that while love is an emotional phenomenon, it’s also a highly logical endeavor.
AOI (27, PR Director)
"I've trained my thinking muscles, but in love, I realized I was almost thoughtless." The disconnect between logic and emotion — that was the root of my confusion. Thanks to this university, I learned not to separate emotions in love but to embrace them with intelligence. As a result, my "love" gained depth and options. For the first time, I felt I could design the kind of relationship I wanted to cultivate.
KAZU (34, Product Manager)
"Love was a mirror reflecting my unconscious self." Whether relationships succeeded or failed, I was always part of the equation. Gaining a perspective to simultaneously view “self” and “relationships” allowed me to objectively see myself. I’m truly grateful for this learning opportunity.
MAI (26, Advertising Planner)
"I learned that instead of denying emotions or taming them as they are, there’s an option to 'think' about them." In love, I’ve been swayed by emotions that even surprised me, like wondering, “Why did I cry over this?” But by reframing them structurally rather than feeling ashamed, my “emotions” became resources. Facing myself, questioning myself, and learning, I was able to redefine who I am.
RIKA (29, AI Engineer)
"I realized that the typical love technique courses out there are really just ‘superficial’ tricks." Of course, they can be “effective” at times. But I always felt that “I” wasn’t deepening in any way. At this university, I had the opportunity to reexamine emotions and relationships structurally. I learned the importance of having a foundation of thought within the whirlwind of emotions that is love.
Voices of Students (Couples)
MASA＆YUKA (Married for 4 years)
"Because we were already close, we wanted to bring in a fresh perspective." For us as a couple, this learning experience was like opening the windows in a well-built home. We wanted to deepen our relationship even further, and the lessons at this university were a perfect fit.
YUJI ＆ HIKARI (Married for 1 year)
"Freedom and trust began to grow between us." Rather than tying each other down, we wanted to build a relationship where we could support one another. By gaining an intellectual lens through which to view dating as a field of study, we came to genuinely feel proud of seeing our partner shine. As we shaped a new kind of relationship, our bond became stronger and more resilient. We want to keep honoring and celebrating each other, now and always.
TAKUMA ＆ SARA (Married for 3 years)
"Our environment changes, and so must our relationship—but how it changes is up to us." After becoming parents, we began noticing subtle shifts and unspoken tensions. Instead of ignoring them, we’ve learned to articulate them with love and intelligence. We now believe our relationship will only become more interesting with time. We’re committed to enjoying dating for life!
TAICHI ＆ YURA (Married for 9 years)
"Continuing to evolve the relationship in our own way." We’ve always nurtured our bond at our own pace, free from social conventions or expectations. At this university, we discovered an even greater sense of freedom in how we choose to love. It’s made possible by the trust between us. Rather than asking, “How should we be?” we now ask, “How do we want to be?” Through dialogue, we continue to weave a relationship that feels uniquely ours. This learning journey reaffirmed that for us.
NAOTO ＆ HARU (Married for 10 years)
"We wanted to add more depth to the ten years we’ve walked together." What we’ve learned here is the importance of continuing to discover each other—and ourselves. Beyond just “getting along,” we’ve realized how valuable it is to share words and sensibilities.
KENTA ＆ RINAKO (Married for 12 years)
"Understanding each other isn’t a destination—it’s a daily, ongoing question." The longer we’ve been together, the more we’ve come to understand each other without words. But we’ve learned not to become complacent with that comfort, and to keep seeking new understanding. The intellectual communication we gained here has given our relationship even more freedom.
TOMA ＆ SAKURA (Married for 3 years)
At first, we thought, “Why study dating now?” But in hindsight, the topics covered here were exactly what we wish we’d talked about before getting married. We gained so many perspectives on how to approach dating and partnership with more freedom and joy. The more we learned, the more deeply we came to appreciate each other. Moving forward, we want to cherish our time together as a couple, while also enjoying the different paths each of us is taking.
YUJI & ERI (Married for 3 years)
When we discovered this university, our first thought was, “We wish we’d had this in our twenties!” But learning at this moment in our lives carries deep meaning, too. Because what we’ve gained here isn’t just for us—it’s something we hope to pass on to our children. We feel like we’ve leveled up in our ability to enjoy life. From now on, we want to make dating even more fun and continue to build a fulfilling future together.
MASA & KYOKO (Married for 5 years)
We’ve both had our share of romantic experiences, and our marriage has been a happy one. But as we built a family and began raising children, we realized that the intuition we’d relied on before wasn’t something we could pass down. We wanted to be able to talk about how to build a happy relationship in our own words—and that’s why we enrolled. Through our learning, we’ve been able to clearly understand why we’ve been successful in our relationship. This place has been a true gift—not just for us, but for our child as well.
