The sudden meteoric rise I experienced sent me on an unimaginable odyssey. My disappearance from the public eye was never intended, yet the mysteriousness became safe. Michael and I understood the mystery. Except Michael's mystique was deliberate, and mine was a shield of protection from the wolves once I was hurled into the global spotlight.
Today, I reflect on my life before and after fame, and it still seems like a fantasy. I have experienced the highs and the lows, the pitfalls, and privileges as a public figure in pop culture. This extraordinary road that I was granted has not always been smooth. Fame comes with a price that can bring unwanted entrapments. International acclaim and notoriety can be blinding. The anticipation of moving to Hollywood and auditioning for movie roles was what I wanted, but never in my wildest dreams would I have known how my fate would shift, and soon I would be on all the magazine covers. The sudden turn became nothing less than a whirlwind of adventures, after my career from Tokyo, Japan began and after the centerfold for Playboy.
I hope this book will be a guide for young people who will flock to Hollywood with big aspirations with their eyes open. My eyes have seen much, and my feet have traveled far. Yes, it's been a thriller! And this is my story, The Thrill of It All.
