Thank you so much for always buying lots of lingerie (laughs), she says with a bright smile—the lingerie section clerk at a supermarket I frequently visit to buy underwear. Azusa Ono, 42 years old. A few years ago, I never imagined she would actually appear in a video directed by me. It was a few months later that I discovered she belonged to a mature women AV studio, after noticing the name on the receipts I always handed her. Apparently, she had been planning to approach me around the time she was forced to move to another prefecture due to her husband's job transfer. "Ever since I found out you worked for an AV company, I’ve been feeling so excited and nervous. I thought nobody else knew, and I was filled with a sense of superiority and arousal. I'm truly sorry for secretly looking you up." From her words, I learned she's in a good relationship with her husband and they have sex twice a week. It feels a bit awkward knowing such personal details, but as a director, I deeply value her trust in me to appear in this film. Though I didn't tell her, truthfully, I had been eyeing her voluptuous body long before she even knew who I was.
