3- gaijin not accepted - cannot even go in
also, I went for massage parlours in Japan. My hit rate is 90% prc.. even if they have japanese in-house, they will mostly get the PRCs to serve me cause I spoke chinese. But I don't mind that. In fact, some of them are happy to have someone to chat with in their natural language. 2 souls in foreign land, surrounded foreign language makes it easier to connect. some of these led to bonks.. so I guess I'm one of those "damn cute" ppl you are talking about.

Yes your observations on Soapland is correct.
Anyway Osaka City don't have Soapland.
Nearest ones are in Kobe City.
Don't mind my tongue in cheek fun poking as I'm known for cheeky suaning.
It boils down to personal preferences and objective.
Personally I only go for local authentic dishes when I travel.
Go Japan eat Sushi.
Go China eat Dim Sum.
Go Indonesia eat Bakso.
Go Thailand eat Tom Yam.
Go Vietnam eat Pho Bo.
On the subject of PRCs there're many 居酒屋 Izakaya (Japanese bar that serves alcoholic beverages and food) that are staffed by female PRCs but can speak Japanese.
These places might be suitable for conversationalists like you.
Many times when I passed by these bars I can overhear them talking in Mandarin or Chinese dialect amongst themselves.
