Nozomi enjoyed her new occupation. About her early videos, Nozomi recalled, "I was having so much fun at first that I didn't feel tired at all." Unlike many AV actresses who are happy to have time off, Nozomi became known for actively seeking out new chances to perform. In May 2002, Nozomi appeared in the third entry of the "Forceful Exhibitionistic-Play Maniax" video series. In this video, Nozomi and two other AV actresses engage in exhibitionistic acts at a pachinko parlor, a public park, and an office building.
