All the boys are in their birthday suits and beautiful long-haired Ryohei Shima is mincing up toward me. Just think of a naked Mick Jagger — a 26-year-old one, that is — entering stage right on the set of a gay porn flick and you'll get the picture. Ryohei theatrically swivels his hips upon approach, and his smooth, perfectly formed buttocks fly inches past my face upon his landing in the hot tub beside me. He nestles up close, puts an arm around my shoulder, and with a twinkle in his eye, says: "Simon, this is good. Finally we can relax together." The yakuza gangster with full-body tattoos opposite doesn't bat an eyelid, while an octogenarian slowly eases himself down on the other side of me, quietly singing some traditional enka folk song.
"Look at the stars up in the sky; so beautiful right?" Ryohei says to me.
"You're the brightest star of the lot," I say, and we laugh.
