I remember this! Something about her saying that she liked being the only person in the room getting messy. Or the first person to get messy, something like that.

Do you still keep in touch with your models from back in the days?

Hope she snagged some lucky guy who gets to pie her everyday.

Dude, you're remembering real stories, but they're attached to different girls. The girl who went by "Pie-ko" in that first fetish video alongside Midori was the girl who wanted to be the first to get messy.

See, Pie-ko loved getting pied (although it wasn't a sexual thing for her, so get your mind out of the gutter, Dude!), and even though I didn't know that at first, I happened to invite her to one of the early "pie parties" I was having at my apartment around 2001 to 2004-ish. It was obvious to me that she had an absolute blast at her first one, and she very eagerly requested to be included in almost every party after. I don't remember how many she came to.

One night after the after-pie-party drinks, she and I were talking alone, and I asked her whether she had a fetish like mine, because it was obvious that she was a bit of a pie maniac. She explained that it wasn't sexual for her, but it was a childhood fantasy that we had helped bring to life for her at that first party, and it had become something of an obsession since that party.

And one of the details of her specific fantasy was to be the first slapstick victim in the comedy sketch. She confessed to me that, since her second party, she'd been cheating at our card games to make herself the loser of the first round so she'd be the first one pied. She asked if I was OK with that and I said of course I was because I loved seeing her get pied.

Her pie fantasy had come from seeing slapstick comedy on TV. She had a couple more fantasies about doing things she'd seen on TV as a kid: one was to do outrageous, messy make-up, and another was to be sprayed with beer or champagne like they do in a baseball locker room after winning a championship. We eventually ended up doing both one day and having a real laugh. I have framed photos of me and Pie-ko after we've basically covered each other's face in graffiti; they're pretty awesome. Also, the original uncut "Midori and Pie-ko" ends with a scene in my bathtub where I shake up beer cans, yell "Congratulations!" and blast her in the face with beer over and over. It was super fun.

The girl who likes being the only one in the room who gets pied is goth-girl Midori - not the original Midori in this video, but the one I met later in Osaka who starred in tons of videos for me. She was a bona fide pie-in-the-face fetishist. And it wasn't a case of pieing her and then finding out she was turned on by it; she full-on begged me to put her in a video and pie her.

The texts we sent back and forth leading up to her first shoot were like unintentional sexting because I kept asking her questions out of genuine curiosity, and her replies were like dialogue from the script for a wam video where the girl is a submissive who desires to be humiliated. One of her fantasies is to be disciplined/punished in front of others. If I'd had more time and money, I would have wanted to shoot a video with a large group of extras and given Midori her fantasy scenario - kind of like a bigger, more serious version of the "Punishment" video she did with Junchan.

So, to clarify what the story was with the original Midori: she was at our very first pie party and quite eager. She wasn't the maniac that Pie-ko was, but she made it clear that she was up for more pie parties whenever it fit her schedule. One night during the after-party drinks, we were talking about the pie fetish and everyone was making jokes about what I deviant I was. Right after, I was saying good night to Midori outside and she confided in me that pies were a fetish for her, too.

It was really cute because she was a little shy and nervous about telling me. And the coolest thing was the last thing she said before she left that night; it was something to the effect of, "Anytime you have whipped cream and want to get somebody messy, call me." She was pretty fucking awesome.

Yeah, I even married one! Chika is my wife now, so that makes Nami my sister-in-law. Also, my wife is good friends with Hiroko and Ake from "The 4 Girls from Osaka," all of the girls in "5 Girls in Osaka," and Hanako from "Japanese Mud Virgins Volume 1."

I'm also pretty good friends with Ryoko and Jessica. We collaborated on a lot of other projects together when I lived in Tokyo, and we were all language study partners for a while. We're each in different countries now, but we talk on Facebook.

Junko is still a friend, too. I'm looking forward to seeing her again next time I'm in Osaka. (Fun fact: she and I have the same birthday! Which is also the same birthday as Chika's! Is that fucked or what?)

I still often talk to both Sakura and Maichin. They're both in the Tokyo area now and would be up for shooting again if I went back there.

Mai and I were roommates for a while before I moved back to Osaka. Then we were in contact for a long time as she was travelling, but I haven't heard from her for a couple years. I'm not even sure what country she's in now...

I'm also in occasional contact on Facebook and Twitter with Sailor Yuko, Goth Girl Midori, Maria, Mercury, Kana, Ayu, Aji, and Aika.

As for all the other models, alas, I haven't heard from them in several years...
