Anyone familiar with Kabukicho? Wanted to visit a host club there too. but i heard that it's hard to get into one without a J-speaking friend to bring u into it.

I would avoid Kabukicho. It isn't really designed for foreigners, and the prices are astronomical. Unless you are a lonely soapland employee with no boyfriend, there is nothing to be gained by going to a host club.
You'd be much better off renting a movie by the title of "The Great Happiness Space"
Here's the description:
This compelling film explores the rarely seen world of Japanese host boys, men who are paid to entertain wealthy women in exclusive nightclubs. Almost but not quite gigolos, more akin to male geishas, the host boys of Café Rakkyo share their secrets with director Jake Clennell in his first documentary. The narrative focuses on Issei, Osaka's top host boy, but all the characters in this unique subculture are fascinating.
