61-year-old Senji Nakajima is a company employee who lives in an apartment in Tokyo with his silicon doll. Originally, he lived with his wife and 2 children in Ibaraki, Japanese Prefecture. He is now based in Tokyo due to his work, and he lives alone in an apartment. Inevitably, there would be nights when he felt cold and lonely without his wife beside him.
One day, he happened to pass by a shop selling adult paraphernalia and saw a silicon doll by the shop’s window. He had never seen such a lifelike doll before and decided to buy one since he assumed she could banish his lonely nights. Senji Nakajima called her “Saori.”
Initially, he only regarded Saori as a tool for his carnal desires. However, he developed feelings for her after days had passed. Sometimes, when he is at work and remembers Saori is alone at home, he feels excited for the end of his shift and rushes home to spend time with her.
During his days off, he would take Saori out, pushing her in a wheelchair to visit various places. “She needs much help, but still is my perfect partner who shares precious moments with me and enriches my life,” Senji Nakajima said. He claims he has never been happier since Saori came into his life. He always had a smile on his face
Senji Nakajima would occasionally take Saori with him for a drive, and he made sure he had fastened her seat belt for protection. In the morning and later at night, he would bathe Saori. He wanted to be a good partner for her. On some days, he would take Saori out to buy clothes and pick out wigs. He treats her like a real partner.
Initially, Senji Nakajima becomes naughty with Saori. However, at his advanced age, his strength is slowly deteriorating. Even if he can no longer be naughty with her, he is satisfied just lying next to her in bed. He feels very happy. He claims she is the perfect partner since she is “more than plastic.”
“She never betrays, not after only money.” Senji Nakajima said. “I’m tired of modern rational humans. They are heartless.” According to him, real people are more capricious, unlike Saori.
Senji Nakajima also mentioned that Saori is unlike an ordinary woman. She never complains and always maintains a young and beautiful physicality. From time to time, Senji and some of his friends who also own silicon dolls get together to parties with their “partners.”
Surprisingly, Senji Nakajima’s wife knew of Saori’s existence and her (so-called) relationship with her husband. Instead of objecting, she has accepted his “mistress” into their marriage.
Perhaps, in Senji Nakajima’s heart, Saori is his priority over his wife and children. He said, “I hope that in the last stage of life, I can spend my last days with Saori.”
Maybe some people may never understand or accept what Senji Nakajima has done. However, it only proves that most people get lonely, and some have difficulty getting along with a partner. Some people claim that most countries have societies that can cause stress, including Japan, where Senji Nakajima has experienced physical loneliness that resulted in his heavy burden. Fortunately, some people understood why he chose to live with a silicon doll to fill his lonely nights.
Nowadays, more men consider this method an escape from reality. Sometimes, it is difficult to get along with strangers in a crowd.
