"When I asked her why, she simply said because the magazine had asked her to do
it," Takasu tells Shukan Asahi. "She didn't care about her past glories. She
was simply living the moment to its fullest."
The nude photo collection producer says that apart from only a few very lucky
actresses, most thespians have to spend some of their career struggling, which
makes the times when they do have work all the more delightful. He adds that
when these women act like stars, it's nothing more than a drama set where
everything is for external appearances. Takasu says that the majority of
actresses who pose nude normally live very quite private lives and that the
majority who've undressed for him have been polite and humble even if their
public persona has not always been like that.
Takasu says ordinary women are usually much more interested in fashion than
actresses who undress for the cameras, caring little for their fashions.
"Ordinary women probably wear pricier undies than the big name actresses," he
says.
Takasu says that actresses who pose nude generally know when they need to
perform.
"Top actresses know when to turn it on and off. They know when they need to
look good. They know the times they need to perform," he says.
Takasu says nude model actresses are usually so relaxed, they're unlikely to be
the types to take their own lives. He urges people considering ending it all
not to do so, no matter how down they feel.
"Nothing is ever so bad that you have to take your own life," Takasu tells
Shukan Asahi. "I can't understand why these people don't just strip down to
their last thread and bare everything to the world before starting all over
again."
