Exclusive Interview About Japanese Adult Video Idol Hitomi Tanaka

Backstory:

A very close friend of mine (who supplies all the movies I sell, direct from Japan & Asia) has been in the adult film industry for more than 20 years. The stories he has are nothing short of incredible…Completely mind-blowing at times, especially the stories from his trips to Japan. He goes to Japan and Asia about every month or two to secure our contracts with the studios and our manufacturers. I’ve been with him on few trips in the past, but I settled down years ago trying to start a family after a nasty divorce so that crazy life-style is far behind me. Anyway, Let’s Get To It Then!

Hitomi Tanaka Interview:

So my buddy (mentioned above) was back here in the US for the holidays and we got together and had a few beers (ok, it was more than a few…also, some Sake, Vodka, Tequila, Rum…and then I blacked out). Long-story-short, we were talking about the currently most popular Japanese idols (ie adult film stars) and he mentioned Hitomi Tanaka...Good thing I have a great memory (at least that part of me still works right..joke)…Recording the conversation helped too =)

Below is a transcript of our conversation: 

Part 1 of ?

 Me:  ok wait, so you actually met and went out with Hitomi Tanaka?

Friend:  For sure…it’s typical for the studios to invite us to shootings, especially when large contracts are involved. Afterwards, we’ll head out to dinner, KTV (karaoke), drinking, then…well you get the picture…*cheeky grin *wink

Me: …but how can they do that after shooting, especially if there’s a shoot the next day?

Friend: Oh no, NO, NEVER during production days…The crew, director, talent, etc get up early (about 5am typically) to get set up and film until the evening. They’re like machines…Kind of ironic really…

Me: How so?

Friend: …Well you’re people trying sell sex…Exact opposite of machines…Trying to be as sexual, as human as ever….You know??

Me: hmmm, yeah I get it. Anyway, before we start getting too deep and quoting Shakespeare and Aristotle let’s move on to Hitomi…

Friend: Hahahaha…Agreed…

Me: …so you were saying…

Friend: Right, like I was saying before…They (the studio) will usually invite us to the set on the last day of shooting. It’s a huge celebration so we all got out and party, sometimes non-stop the entire weekend…Then back to work…Lather, rinse, repeat…Get it??

Me: Damn, no wonder most don’t last long in the adult industry…

Friend: Exactly!

Me:…so that day with Hitomi Tanaka….

Friend: …yeah, so I got to the set in the afternoon. They were re-shooting some parts of some scenes the director wanted to touch-up…close-ups, money-shots, and photos…Last day is usually the busiest so I try to stay out of the way as much as possible.

Me: So what’s the point of inviting you? I mean, why not just meet up with them afterwards?

Friend: For PR mostly…Also, to show us and the producers (who are usually present as well) their professionalism and, basically, all the money we invested was put to good use.

Me: …Makes total sense…Was this the first time you met with Hitomi?

Friend: No, I met her a few times before…the first, I think, was at the 2012 Adult Products conference in Shanghai.

Me: Yeah I totally remember…You got me those DVD’s and BluRays signed by Hitomi…Freakin’ amazing… =)

Friend: Yup, you still have them…??

Me: …tucked away somewhere safe…Also, away from the wife’s eyes…don’t want to end up on the couch for a week again… back’s not as strong as it used to be…might be difficult to explain how I got them...

Friend: I’ll drink to that…Nostrovia…

Me: Nostrovia….

Me: So what’s she like?

Friend: Hitomi’s a really nice girl…Baby face, girl next door (in Japan anyway). Doesn’t really like to go out and party. She’s had her party phase, but most of it was when she was younger and first starting out…It’s the same with almost all the girls in the industry…She works really damn hard and takes direction really well. Everyone loves working with her…Sometimes she’ll even bring tea or coffee for those on the set…

Me: Wow…so a girl you can take home and meet your mother??...

Friend: Not mine, she planned my last bachelor party and knows who I “work” with…

Me: Hahahahaha, that’s right!! I’ll never forget that weekend!!!...

Friend: …hahaha…Amen to that brother!!...

…anyway, Hitomi’s had lot’s of offers…

Me: …offers??

Friend: yeah, offers…to get married…endless fans…flowers…jewelry…lot’s of stalkers…security is pretty tight on set..

Me:….WTF???...

Friend: …yeah, you’ll see it all in this business…I guarantee that…!!

Me: ….GTFO…so like who would propose to her??

Friend: LOT’s of guys…Lot’s of rich guys…Some even in the government.

Me: …Oh come on…government??...

Friend: …dude, politicians are the worse whores on the planet...at least people in the adult industry get paid to *uck you and are open about it…on camera…you know?

Me: …ok, can’t argue with that…

Friend: Most people in the adult industry won’t date anyone in government…We’ve got morals…*wink

Me: hahahaha!!!!

…to be Continued in Part II…
