Quotes Taki Renzaburo: [watching Kanako take her bra off] Uh... I, er, I didn't know you were in such a hurry.
Kanako: I hope you don't mind?
Taki Renzaburo: No. Why would I mind about that? Soon as my heart stops pounding, I'll be just fine.
Kanako: [chuckles, then unzips Taki's fly] He's a healthy one. Let me see if I can wake him...
[gives him a blowjob]
Taki Renzaburo: [narrating] My God! Has this wild woman been hiding under that demure exterior all this time? I mean, it's not exactly what I was expecting, but then again... there are worse things.
