High Class Model - Sayuri Honjyo
Alice Japan, 10/8-9/1999

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I first met her I wondered if something was wrong with her. After a meeting we had before the shooting, she told us about her personal problems: being estranged from her parents, her desire to break up with her boyfriend, etc. I got the feeling that she wanted to us to make a video based on her personal life; to bury the things in Sayuri Honjyo's past. I decided to respect her wishes, besides this idea really appealed to me as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first scene we shot was a 3-way sex scene. As I expected, as she is also known by the name of "Human Viagra", she had sex with two guys very aggressively. She said to one of them, "Come inside me!" and smiled cheerfully at his apparent of bewilderment at hearing this.

In the next scene, I made up the set like Sayuri's room, and had her have sex the same way she would with her boyfriend. This time she had very romantic sex, which was quite a contrast from the previous scene, where she was "Human Viagra". However, she said that was no actual love in sex she has with her boyfriend. In fact, he disapproves of her job, yet takes money from her. He has also been violent with her, and she wants to break-up with him.

She doesn't have much self-confidence, and fears being disliked, therefore, she has been pretending to be something she is not. But, she got tired of living this way, and began to dislike herself. She wanted to change herself, and she needed a break. She had become really tired of being lewd and sexually aggressive, and had learned the limitations of her ability to pretend.

In this scene she had been filmed as herself, with her true nature revealed, and without her usual cover. I told an actor about her past, but neither of us could do anything for her; SHE needed to change herself. After the scene was finished she said that she felt relieved to reveal her true self. It seemed that she had her wish granted, and that this scene was a catalyst for her changing herself.

After that, her behavior became quite interesting. She became extremely ashamed of having sex in front of the film crew. The previous day she had staggered the actors as "Human Viagra", but now she felt that she was having sex it in public. This was real sex. She said that she had never felt pleasure in front of the camera. This was probably because she had always been concerned with pleasing everyone else.
After this scene, she had a good cry. When she recovered her composure, I asked her what happened. She seemed to feel refreshed, and was determined to break up with her boyfriend, and quit her work as an AV actress. It seems that this was in her heart from the beginning; all she needed was a push to make the change in herself she desired. I guess we were kind of a cheering section for her.
Although I got a great picture, I noticed that she succeeded in making me make the video that she wanted.
