Mercury was an American girl living in Japan, and we were friends for a long time before she appeared in a video for us. I'd been introduced to her by Junko, as they were good friends. One day, Mercury asks me about the shoots. She's curious because Junko's been telling her they're a lot of fun, and she was planning to leave Japan soon, so she was thinking about trying it before she left, but she was a little on the fence. Well, of course I wanted to shoot with her, so I sweetened the usual model agreement: if she'd be in a scene, I'd pay her the modelling fee, plus make her a pizza dinner, plus give her a nice long foot massage! She happily agreed. But if you've seen her amazingly sexy feet, you know that I definitely got the better of that deal!
