Hi Julia and Kira! Thanks for bringing us this excellent idea - the amount of thought you put into this is incredible, and really makes it easy for us to slot in some details!
First off: that's a yes on the idea! Hideki would definitely throw a birthday party for his friends. He'd find out through their Cooltalk profiles, most likely - he'd see that their birthdays are coming up! This party wouldn't be at his home - which he does share with his parents, even if they could easily let him live on his own - but rather at the VIP section of the most popular club downtown: Asylum. He would hire DJ Semicolon - who's very popular around New Amsterdam and not exactly easy to book - and would ensure that everyone invited would be able to drink and eat to their heart's content. Semicolon is currently the best at combining modern sounds with Whitney Houston's best hits, creating a mesh of thrumming beats and slow tunes when everyone just needs to slow down. And yes, you bet there will be some nice, fresh meat along among the hor d'oeuvres.
However - once the party winds down, Hideki would be glad to take his two buddies back to his place to chill out and meet his dog. Given the chaos happening with the Maeda family, they'd get in easily and would be able to sneak around. His parents would be out - "business, work, whatever" - but that just makes it easier for Prom or Cain to snoop around.
As for invites: Hideki would invite anyone that Prompto and Cain follows on Cooltalk to the party, and they can feel free to invite anyone else, as well. It wouldn't be a surprise party. They would know in advance, though Jason isn't likely to be a welcome guest (for likely obvious reasons).
We're happy to NPC Hideki at the party and do some scene setting at his parents' penthouse apartment afterward. We'll set up a top level so anyone who's at the party can interact with him, though he might brush off anyone who doesn't interest him (and these rejections are likely to be for very shallow reasons ...).
