LOS ANGELES—Marica Hase is featured in Japan’s Weekly SPA! Magazine where she discusses her path from Japan to Los Angeles, her breast cancer battle, and the work ethic that has helped her persevere.
The article, written in Japanese, traces the starlet’s rise from gravure modeling to adult entertainment and international recognition, including the early years when she handled much of her own promotion. “I wanted to do autograph sessions, but I couldn’t, so I bought DVDs with my own money and negotiated directly with shops,” she said in the interview. “I put flyers in tissues and handed them out. I did it all on my own.”
Hase also spoke candidly about her 2019 breast cancer diagnosis and how quickly her mind turned back to her career. “Even after being diagnosed with cancer and being told I needed a total mastectomy, my first thought wasn’t the fear of death, but ‘What about my work?’” Hase said.
“Reconstructive surgery was the obvious thing to do.”
Hase has since returned to performing, media appearances, and international events, while continuing to speak openly about her health journey.
