ライバーサポートグループ

What Liver Support Group is

ライバーサポートグループ (Liver Support Group, at live-chat.jp) is the production arm of a Japanese company called 株式会社ニューステージ, and it works as an agency for chat ladies, women who earn by talking with male members of live-chat sites. The operator's company page describes its business as providing and running internet communication services and talent consulting. It places women in free commute chat rooms across Japan or on an at-home basis, and it pays by the minute that members stay connected. It describes the commute rooms as free to use.

The group makes two claims about itself. It says it is one of only 5 companies in Japan that are official FANZA live chat dealers, and it says it is in its 23rd year with 23 years of know-how. Its company and recruitment pages say it has results at more than 100 shops across the country. These are the group's own numbers, and they are the reason it describes itself as a safe choice for a first-timer.

How earning works here

The earner sells her time on a live-chat site. The member connects, talks, and pays per minute, and the operator is credited for the minutes. The agency's role is to recruit, supply a room, train and support. The home page lists an average per-minute pay figure for an adult chat lady and a lower one for a non-adult chat lady, and says adult work pays a higher rate and draws more customers. In October 2026 those averages are 120 yen a minute for adult chat and 50 yen for non-adult. The site does not publish the percentage of member spending that goes to the worker.

Commute work happens in the group's own chat rooms. The home page says rooms can be used free of charge and names locations including Ikebukuro, Hakata, Chiba, Yokohama, Sapporo Susukino, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Shizuoka, Utsunomiya, Nishi-Funabashi, Saga and Kashiwa. The staff page lists shops by region from Hokkaido through Tohoku, the Tokyo area, Aichi, Osaka, Fukuoka and on to Kyushu. A photo gallery for one shop shows chat rooms, dressers, free food, makeup tools, costumes and wigs, a rest room and a bathroom. The home page adds a beauty filter that smooths skin, corrects the outline and adjusts lighting, and says the costumes and wigs also help against being recognized.

At-home work is available as well. An applicant who wants it writes "在宅希望" on the application, and an at-home worker registers only after passing a screening. The FAQ says a worker can mix the two, with some days at home and some at a shop, but cannot hold work with a different agency at the same time, though an affiliated office may be possible.

The application sequence is laid out step by step. You apply by form, phone or LINE and say when you can interview. A staff member calls back to fix the date. No résumé is needed, but you need a photo ID. At the interview the staff show the real chat site you would appear on and explain the work and pay. Then you register your profile, and a trial shift on the day of the interview is possible. At-home applicants register after passing an age verification review.

Work patterns are open. The FAQ says the site runs 24 hours, so you can pick any day and hour, including early morning, which the group says is a time when connections come easily. Once a week is fine, a few hours after school or work is fine, and stepping out during a shift is allowed. There is no quota at all, though staff say a personal earnings target helps and they encourage you toward it. Typing is not needed because the work is done by microphone. Nobody is forced into particular content, and the staff only give advice.

The group's support runs around the clock. The support page lists consultation on identity protection, on how to work and earn, on PC and equipment faults including remote-control help, and on pay and daily payment questions. It says both beginners and people already working can use it. A separate pair of pages recruit support staff and independent agency owners.

Bonuses sit on top of the minute pay. Beyond the entry celebration money, the home page lists an invitation to Disneyland, a ranking bonus and a friend referral bonus, without amounts. It also lists benefits unusual for this kind of work: social insurance enrollment is possible, and the group offers introductions to apartments for women living alone, half-rent support, health checks and vaccinations.

Money and rules

Pay. Pay accrues per connected minute, and adult work is paid at a higher rate than non-adult. In October 2026 the FAQ states a non-adult hourly range of about 2000 to 4000 yen for a beginner. Another answer on adult versus non-adult pay lists 3500 yen or more per hour for adult work and says monthly income differs by 1.5 to 2 times between the two. The FAQ also gives a daily income figure that it says many people reach, depending on hours. These are the group's statements, and the FAQ says results are individual.

Testimonials. The home page shows operator testimonials each with the days worked in a month and an average monthly income, from about 10 days a month up to 20 to 25 days. They are shown as the group's own examples.

Payout. The FAQ says daily pay is available, with the day's earnings paid the same day on request to staff. Pay is basically handed over in cash, including same-day daily pay, while at-home workers are paid by bank transfer, and the FAQ says a transfer has never been late. It adds that there are no fines for absence or lateness.

Transport. The FAQ says round-trip public transport is paid up to a capped amount under the group's rules, with details at the interview.

Age and ID. Any age from 18 up can work, but a person of high school age cannot, and applicants are told to apply after graduating. A photo ID is needed. For someone without a photo ID, some shops can still register her, and she is told to ask by LINE or email. My Number is not required, and the FAQ says that spares university students and dependents from being found out by parents. On nationality the FAQ says people with Japanese nationality can work and others should get it first before applying.

Rules of conduct. Meeting a member and giving a contact are both banned. Face showing is not required, and the FAQ says showing it helps earnings but usually not by much. Staff say they help women who do not show a face. Pregnancy: a woman can work, and the FAQ says one worked until about 9 months.

Tax and paperwork. The FAQ says workers file their own tax returns, with the group introducing a tax accountant and giving advice, and that a student can work without leaving her parents' dependents. Because chat ladies are independent contractors, not employees, it cannot issue a certificate of employment.

Who it suits and who it does not

The group suits a Japanese woman with no gear and no audience who wants a free, equipped room near a station and a staff member to call. A student or part-timer can work one shift a week. A woman who does not want to show her face, or who wants non-adult work, is covered, and the FAQ says many people start non-adult and move to adult later.

The limits are plain. Non-adult pays well below adult on the group's own figures. No percentage split is published, so the share of what members spend is not visible before the interview. The testimonials and the FAQ's daily income figure are the group's claims, and the FAQ itself says income is individual. Holding work with another agency at the same time is not allowed. Finally, it is a Japanese-language service that asks for Japanese nationality and a photo ID, so a foreign national cannot apply.
