I had a shoot for Vivi magazine this past Monday where I was posing as a bodyguard for Chikako Watanabe. For the shoot we went all over Tokyo (to a lot of places I’ve never actually been to) and it was a lot of fun. The highlight of the shoot was going to be a helicopter ride over Tokyo, but unfortunately, this being rainy season, it started to downpour when we arrived on the site. (And of course stopped after we finished shooting the pictures in the hanger instead). Better luck next time I guess.
On a positive note though, another shooting was at a restaurant called ‘Ninja’ in Akasaka, and the shoot was supposed to just be Chikako, being threated by the ‘Ninja’, but when I mentioned to the project organizer that I could do action, she decided to turn it into a ‘Bodyguard vs. Ninja’ shoot instead, where I faced-off against the ninja with a short sword to protect Chikako, and used Capoeira techniques to fight him off (in a suit, mind you). It was hilarious!! I got to see a few of the pictures and they were AWESOME. Really looking forward to seeing the mag when it comes out. (last week of August).
