Marica Hase looks back on 26 years in front of the camera in a new Daily Sport UK interview, “Midweek 5 Minutes with Marica Hase”, sharing the unlikely beginnings of her modeling career, her move from Japan’s adult industry to the U.S., and a few of the passions that keep life interesting away from work.
Speaking with Miles Moore, Hase recalls landing a fashion magazine cover shortly after graduating from school and discovering that the camera brought out a side of her that everyday life did not. Now 26 years into modeling and 17 years into her adult career, she reflects on becoming one of the first Japanese adult performers to successfully establish herself in the American industry.
“At the time, I was very shy, but I felt much more comfortable in front of the camera than I did away from it,” Hase said. “So I decided, ‘No matter what, I want to live my life in front of the camera.’ And now, I’ve ended up working as an international.”
The interview also gives readers a glimpse of Hase away from the camera, including her love of wrestling, former wrestling lessons, Lineage II days, and affection for both Japanese food and “big juicy American food.” Asked for an unusual fact about herself, Hase sums up an extraordinary life simply: “I’m a two-time cancer survivor, a longtime pornstar, and the first and only Japanese Penthouse Pet in the USA.”
