"Maichi" is known throughout Japan as the Number One Nude Idol. We've seen her nude. We've read her interviews but we still want to know more about what she's thinking. There?s still a mysterious air surrounding her. These thirty-three questions were prepared to clear up the mystery. This is better than seeing her nude, isn't it?
