SINGER AND ACTRESS HIROE TAKEI PERFORMED FOR ARAKI-SAMA AT HIS FAVORITE STUDIO IN TOKYO. THE MASTER WORKED HIS WAY DOWN SUPPORTED BY HIS OUTRAGEOUS SENSE OF HUMOR. IT WAS AN INTENSE SESSION THAT ENDED JUST BEFORE MODESTY WAS AT RISK. WHEN ASKED IF SHE’D MODEL AGAIN FOR ARAKI, AFTER A MOMENT OF SILENCE HIROE REPLIED THAT SHE WOULD, PROVIDED THERE’S SOMEONE ELSE IN THE ROOM.
