Nana Maeno, retirement. i haven't shot Nana Maeno many times before, yet she asked me to shoot her retirement work at Honnaka. i think it's because she wanted to end it on her own terms. i want to imbue this work with some universality by viewing the hard shoots that Nana Maeno has done in AV as "training" for her to grow as a person, and by facing her life through the last shoot. i want this to be Nana Maeno's retirement work, but also a graduation celebration for all the "kikatan" actresses. to all the "kikatan" actresses who have worked hard at hard shoots, healed the hearts of users with smiles, and quietly retired, i want to say "thank you".
