This was English text translated from Japanese, rewrite this to be more coherent: Third-rate gossip magazine top interview: "Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Nobumitsu Ishikawa's nude photos & exclusive interview!"

The episode where we decided to just name it after that photographer.

--Ishikawa-san, thank you for this exclusive interview today--



"Thanks. It feels like a long time ago when I used to take nude photos here."



--He is now a world-renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer. This time, we will be interviewing him while taking photos of this nude model.--



"That's nice. I like that kind of vulgar atmosphere too. I've won awards and become famous, but there are more and more customers who want something sophisticated. I really want to do this kind of thing."



--You've taken about 3,000 photos, including nude photos of me, right? --



"If you include the rejected ones and ones for which I can't reveal the names, I took twice as many photos. But now the models have become beautiful women."



--The number of actresses from adult video companies has increased. They want to make their name known, and good models come to us on their own.



"That's great. I'd love to do that kind of work again."



--Are you still flirting with women? --



"That's the thing. When you become famous, beautiful women just flock to you. Then it's not as exciting. There are tons of women who are just beautiful. But there are very few people who can make themselves beautiful for the moment they are photographed. That's the nature of this kind of job. Women seen through a viewfinder have become better than women in the flesh."



--I'm so jealous. What kind of things are you shooting now? --



"The work just keeps coming to me. Modeling for fashion magazines, being on the cover of weekly magazines, being a pin-up in movies... these days I can barely find the time to even take nude photos of the women I love."



--So, our job was a godsend? --



"You should praise the editor-in-chief for offering you this job. I've known him since I was a rookie. There's no way I could refuse."



--What made you get into this industry? --



"Well, I was a simple person who liked women. It was a time before adult videos became widespread, and pornographic movies were at their peak as a teenager. I wasn't old enough to go to the cinema, but I could look at the posters, and that got me excited."



--So you came over here to take a picture of it? --



"Of course, I couldn't make a living, so at first I worked part-time jobs. But times were good. At the same time as the bubble economy began, videos became popular and the number of adult videos increased. That meant a huge increase in package shoots. There were very few people who could do that."



--What do you mean?--



"The manufacturers didn't have the money or connections to hire photographers, so at first they took their own photos. I went to these places to do business with them and took loads of nude photos. As a result, I photographed some women, and they became fairly famous, and I met a model that I wanted to spend the rest of my life photographing."



--That's the Duke's daughter, Keikain Runa, who everyone's talking about right now.--



"Yes. There's a saying among artists that goes, 'I was born to do this,' but I never believed it at all. That is, until I saw her. I first met her at a meeting to arrange a modeling shoot for Teisei Department Store, and she was clearly a different breed than the models they had prepared for her. I still remember when I said, 'This girl will decide the future of this department store,' and she replied, 'Teisei Department Store has bet on this person, and this person has bet on me. She seems to have an eye for this, so let's bet on her too.'"



--And after that, you became a huge hit as a campaign girl for Teisei Department Store. You've been active on TV and in movies. Can I ask you about that photo now?



"Yes. You mean the photo of September 11th, the day that changed the destinies of so many people and changed history? I still can't put a title on it. By the way, I never intended to release that photo to the public."



--Really!?--



"Yes. I was stunned at the time, too. But my body naturally positioned itself and I took that shot. I only realized it when I got home and developed the film. I showed it to your editor-in-chief that same day."



--Why? --



"Both I and my editor-in-chief understood that this photo would go down in history, in the times. But I didn't have the courage to release it. I was happy as a photographer who just took pictures of women. But I ended up taking a photo that would go down in history. I was scared to send it out. Your editor-in-chief scolded me with the most serious look I've ever seen in my eyes. He said, 'Publish this to the world. It was your destiny, and I was doing this job to bring this destiny to the world!' Even though he was the editor-in-chief of a third-rate gossip magazine, I guess he was a proper journalist."



-- How exactly did it come out into the world? --



"It was such a historic photo that it was too different to send out from here. The editor-in-chief woke up the editor-in-chief of a weekly magazine from the same publisher and showed him the photo. It became the cover of that week's magazine, and the rest is history, right?"



--So, what is photographer Nobumitsu Ishikawa up to now?--



"The editor-in-chief's decision was not wrong. I know that, but I think he must have been secretly disappointed that he couldn't publish this photo. I still owe him a debt, so I've decided that if I ever take a nude photo of the Duke's daughter, Keikain Runa, I'll post it here."



--That's great! I'll be waiting for that time with the top open. But I think Ishikawa is the only one who can get away with asking the popular duke's daughter of the Keika Group to take nude photos of her--



"If you keep saying that, it seems to be quite effective, and recently her guard has been down. We've even gotten to swimsuit photos, so it won't be long until we get to nude photos..."











"I ended up buying up all of this gossip magazine before it was published. Do you have any excuse, sir?"



　He wears a scare symbol on his head and interrogates the photography teacher.

　The decisive reason for the buying up was, of course, the nude nature of the photos. In particular, there was a clear feeling that nude photography was OK, conveyed by people other than the person herself, after the attempted terrorist attack at Narita Airport. Rather than end up in such a dangerous situation, a love affair would be far better..." - this was the teacher's exact words.

　Although I was stunned after reading it, I was convinced that it was true.

　So, although my anger was just an act, if I didn't keep getting angry like this, I would end up losing face and being left naked.



"You bought it all up nicely, right?

　That's good. That gossip magazine is going to cease publication next month. So the editor-in-chief and the rest of the editorial staff have had a final farewell."



"Ah. So you made them write down some definitely damning information, leaked it to us, and had them buy it all up?"



"If it sells all the magazines, then it doesn't matter if there's only one person.

　When you become an adult, you learn these kinds of tricks. Remember that.



　He said that with a smile, so I couldn't bring myself to get angry.

　If this ends here, it will be a good story.



"So, it's about Luna-chan's nude photoshoot..."



"go back!!!"
