When asked why she wanted to appear in an AV, she replied, "I want to do something special," and in that moment, a faint trace of sadness flickered across her face. Yet her words carried determination, revealing the strong resolve behind a path she had chosen after much inner struggle. Her first sexual experience was at 17, a brief relationship with a male classmate. After that, she moved to Tokyo for university, cutting off contact with him as they went their separate ways. During college, she focused seriously on her studies and had typical romantic experiences. There was never anyone she particularly loved, though she once ended up in a one-night stand carried by momentum. After graduation, she landed a decent job and began working as an office lady. Now approaching 30, she reflected on her life: "I don't have any regrets. I've lived a reasonably fulfilling life, experiencing both joys and hardships. But that's all it's been—just that. Entirely ordinary. I'll probably keep working at this company, maybe get married if the right person comes along... But before that, I want to do something truly special." Her life had been far removed from dramatic twists or turbulent events—just a steady, unremarkable routine. Many people believe in their youth that they're special, hoping for a life unlike others', but as they grow and enter society, those illusions fade, replaced by the demands of daily reality. In her case, however, that fantasy lingered much longer than most, until a deep yearning for it finally drove her to action. And the choice she made was to do something most ordinary women would never experience: starring in an AV. As I listened to her, I almost blurted out, "But still..." yet her determination was unshakable. She seemed to crave "specialness" intensely, choosing AV participation without fully weighing its consequences. She might not have fully grasped the gravity of having her most intimate moments recorded on video and sold as a product to countless strangers, along with the potential repercussions. To me, this is business—my job is to produce content. It's not my responsibility to stop her life's course or dissuade her from participating. At the end of the interview, after approving her appearance, she happily bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you so much!" I buried my conscience deep within my chest and began explaining her upcoming filming schedule.
