La primera locación fue en un restaurante rústico a orillas de un rio, el tipo de cena que me gusta con mesas de madera gruesa y cubetas al revés con cojines haciendo de asientos. La primera fue Mayuko, y simplemente me impactó cuando hizo la posición de las 6 en punto en su uniforme de escuela, una Lolita flexible que debería dejar a muchos fetichistas con la sangre hirviendo.
De ahí nos mudamos a un club gay en el distrito rojo. Al principio lo encontré un poco claustrofóbico ya que prácticamente no había espacio para poner nuestras lámparas y habían demasiadas superficies brillantes... pero al final, resultó ser probablemente la mejor sesión del viaje, y cuando veas las fotos de Cocomi que tomamos ahí ¡entenderás por qué! Qué muñeca, qué medidas, qué cintura, y cuando pusimos sus increíbles proporciones y sus ojos de Bambi junto a la pinta atlética de Mayuko, volaron chispas...
En cierto momento, mientras la cámara estaba escupiendo fuego, sentí ese poderoso "photo-fit" que ocasionalmente ocurre, como si la sesión te envolviera y te llevara a un nuevo tope y te hiciera sentir unido con la cámara y la modelo. Puedo decir que fue muy intenso, y no quieres estar cerca de mi en esos momentos, ya que puedo aplastar todo lo que esta en mi camino y las modelos están hipnotizadas y hacen todo lo que les pido :)
Una vez terminado, y totalmente exhausto (los viajes a Shangri-La te ponen en un estado sedado), mientras el equipo estaba recogiendo, me senté en la acera, sorbiendo una cerveza con una sonrisa de satisfacción en la cara y con los gays echándome miradas mientras pasaban por la calle.
Días como estos hacen que todo valga la pena.
Mañana visitaremos un manantial... y Mayuko viene con nosotros a lo que con suerte será otro gran día.

These were great models and an awesome shoot!
I figured it wasn't you. You generally have a more intelligent and easy-going approach, but there will always be morons and drunks out there looking to have their little snickers behind the screen.
Keep up very good works,
Best regards..
As a non-tourist to Japan for the past several years, I agree with the basic premise of your post but certainly not the presumptuous tone. While I would not question your business credentials, it's questionable for you to do the same onto others.
Anyone one who has tried to do business in Japan with other than large multi-nationals has gotten the same impression about it being run by organized crime. You may disregard comments from those who have only been there as tourists but want to seem like they know something. (Canadians & Angelinos) First time in any country is difficult. First time in Japan make others seem simple.
To whomever posted RE: Woof! as "The Guy": please grow some brain cells and think of your own nickname. I have been using that moniker for years. Perhaps your problem is more testes than brain cells. (Though clearly not much of either).
You've come to the conclusion that "[m]ost of Japan is run by organized crime" after only two trips? That's the problem: you've only been to Japan twice and therefore you're not really in any position of authority to make such a claim.
When doing any type of business in Japan, however, it is quite important to know the business culture and customs beforehand as well as have local representation. Petter, it would have been much much easier for you and your crew had there been a Hegre-Art Japan office already established. Although i fully realise this wasn't possible for this trip, it underscores how vital it is to establish a trusted presence in Japan for all business dealings in that country. You have to prove yourself first and then they'll trust you.
Anyways, as a professional, you've seemed to work your way past the initial tension. I look forward to seeing more of your work from Japan :)

Unless you are speaking of the girl in pink in the last pic you desperately need a testosterone injection or a transplant to replace your ovaries with testes.
P.S. loose Konata
As they might say there: ganbatte Hegre.
Can't wait to see the rest of the travel journal for your visit to Tokyo. I spent many years there - fascinating and frustrating at the same time....
