Two Days Before Filming “Hostage”
One of the staff members who had read the previous post, “Three Days Before Filming ‘Hostage,’” called me right away.
“I could really feel your (Nureki’s) passion for this upcoming shoot, and it gave me so much courage, it made me eager to do my very best to help out.
By the way, I told him that there are some scenes on set where I’d like him to really pour his heart into them.”
“Oh, really? What is that? Please don’t hold back. If it’s something I can do, I’ll do anything,” I replied.
There’s a part in the script where the “bad guy” temporarily unties Fuyuko’s ropes and then ties her up again. I’ll transcribe that scene here.
Man: “This time I’m going to tie your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back.”
Fuyuko shakes her head from side to side in resistance.
Man: “If you say no, I’ll punish your sister again.”
Once more, he lewdly jabs a thin whip all over Natsuko’s body. Natsuko writhes pitifully. Seeing this, Fuyuko, writhing in frustration, puts both hands behind her back.
Man: “Raise your wrists higher. Higher, higher, higher!”
With a smug grin, the man slowly binds Fuyuko’s hands with rope. A brutal, harsh takate kote binding.
This is the climax, the showstopper, so film it carefully, with passion, and in close detail.
Fuyuki-san, who plays the heroine in this drama, is very flexible, with a slender neck and arms, so the cuffs sit high on her wrists and fit tightly.
For fans of the takate kote, it looks so charming and perfectly formed that it’s simply irresistible.
By perfectly formed, I mean it’s visually stimulating.
And if it’s stimulating to watch, that means it’s instantly erotic.
That’s why I made this scene one of the climaxes.
“I’m a top director of SM videos. I’ve shot two hundred of them so far.”
I was once hired as a bondage specialist by a director who boasted this.
But no matter what I did, that director just couldn’t understand that takate kote bondage is sexy.
He kept ordering me to tie her in a spread-eagle position with her legs spread wide to the left and right. He ordered it over and over again.
No matter how wide a naked woman spreads her legs, there’s no way we’d get excited.
A thick vibrator is held in place with a string and inserted, secured so it won’t slip out.
Since I’m quite dexterous with my fingers, I’d just say “yes sir” and breeze through even that director’s orders with ease.
“What’s so sexy about tying her wrists high behind her back? Sexy means spreading her legs wide like this and ramming a thick vibrator right in,” the director says, with a smug look on his face.
I have no choice but to give in.
With this kind of mindset, there’s no way he could understand the subtleties of sensuality.
Well, putting that aside, the staff member on the other end of the line kept saying, “Please film Fuyuki-san’s takate kote scene slowly and persistently. I think it’s extremely rare for the act of bringing one’s own hands behind one’s back to be filmed not as a bondage play scene, but as a bondage drama scene where psyches clash. I want to preserve this as valuable archival footage.”
He already knew from watching that Fuyuki-san’s takate kote bondage was exceptionally beautiful and erotic.
“Yeah, I’ll do it. I’ll take my time, doing it slowly, persistently, and thoroughly,” I said.
Frankly, I’m happy to hear these encouraging words from the staff. I’m overjoyed.
I’ll think through the procedure for re-tying Fuyuko, played by Fuyuki-san, with the takate kote knots in a bit more detail, and while I’m at it, I’ll write down Fuyuko’s inner thoughts as well.
The man grabs Fuyuko’s slender wrists and twists them roughly behind her back.
Then, as if squeezing her wrists, he pulls them forcefully upward to a high position.
Of course, Fuyuko resists.
“Be quiet. Now that it’s come to this, you’d better give up. If you don’t let me tie you up without a fight, your sister’s going to suffer.”
Fuyuko instinctively looks toward Natsuko.
Before her eyes, the pitiful figure of Natsuko, struggling.
“Now, raise your wrists higher. Keep them up there and stay still.”
Fuyuko, frustrated.
With eyes filled with hatred, she turns to face the despicable man.
“What’s the matter? Can’t you do as I say? Come on, raise your wrists higher!”
The man sneers, and Fuyuko grimaces in frustration.
A poignant, fleeting struggle between her anger toward the man and her concern for her sister.
Fuyuko finally gave up, hung her head, and raised her wrists behind her of her own accord.
“Higher! Raise them higher!”
The man’s cruel voice, tinged with triumph.
“Heh heh heh… That’s it, that’s good. Now, say, ‘Please tie me up.’ Say it!”
Fuyuko tries to speak, but the gag prevents her from forming words. The man slowly ties the ropes around her… Fuyuko’s desperate figure…
I’m happy to receive orders like this from staff that really hit the mark. It shows they’re motivated.
Requests can be as detailed as you like.
It’s the greatest thing for me.
It makes me even more motivated, and my blood boils with courage. I get excited.
When my blood boils, that heat transfers to the ropes as well.
I know I’m complaining again, but I’ve had many experiences in the past where I’ve filmed SM videos on sets where not a single staff member understood SM.
Even if they dislike SM, people will still gather on those sets as long as there’s money to be made.
I work my hardest alongside those people. But it wears me out, both mentally and physically.
There are times when everyone around me feels like an “enemy” and it’s heartbreaking and sad. It only amplifies my sense of loneliness.
At times like that, I disappear from the set the moment filming ends.
Ah, compared to such hollow sets, how reassuring and joyful the upcoming shoot in two days, surrounded by “comrades,” will be.
If I don’t give it my all, I’ll surely be punished.
(That’s right. I should check the rope one more time.)
Two days later, no matter how enthusiastic I am or how foolish I act, not a single person will mock me.
I also received a letter via fax from Fuyuki-san.
As always, it was written in her elegant, beautiful handwriting.
“I am truly delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to a work for which Nureki Sensei wrote the script. (omitted) As you have said, rather than aiming for a work that will astonish everyone, I would like to do my utmost to cooperate so that, above all else, we can enjoy ourselves ‘for our own sake’ and share that joy. I look forward to working with you on the day of the shoot.
Sawato Fuyuki”
After reading my previous post, “Three Days Before Filming ‘Hostage,’” a staff member called me right away, and I thanked them from the bottom of my heart.
“Thank you, it really gave me a boost.”
By the way, that staff member was Nakahara Rutsu, the producer of this drama, “Hostage.”
