This time, we put our heads together to figure out how to pull off hypnosis pranks without getting caught (laughs). During filming and breaks, we diligently planted suggestions and struck when the opportunity arose. Our superb subject, Sayaka-san, has an amazing personality. Though we felt bad about it, the crew's pranking hands didn't stop; they only sped up, and I got roped in as well (wry smile). Highlights include ambushing her with post-hypnosis triggers in a camera-filled makeup room, setting traps during meals or phone calls, and ultimately pulling off an entire scene of surprise hypnosis.
