One indoor pool, four skintight swimsuits, and five male swimming students—these, aside from the titular instructor, are the simple ingredients that make up this potent 2007 erotic epic spotlighting the scrumptious Yuma Asami…

Umm, just kidding. Come now. I mean, everybody knows that Japanese AV discs are Region 0, NTSC for the most part, and can thus be played on any North-American-bought machine.

And also, no, I’m not going to start reviewing this kind of material. I am, as W.C. Fields would put it, only fooling and pretending.

But since I got your attention (I presume), I’d like to announce that the “Monday Morning Foreign Region DVD Report,” which deals with more conventionally edifying fare, is moving over the The Auteur’s Notebook, because, well, they asked, for one thing. You might be able to guess another thing. It will be up tomorrow morning, over there—I’m not sure exactly what time yet. I won’t tell you what the film is, only that it stars Rock Hudson. Enjoy, and leave comments there, or here. Thanks.

    Sadly, Glenn, you’re completely missing the subtext of Admired Swimming Instructor. You have no clue of Japanese natatorium history, swimming pool realism (or its chlorinated Others), or Yuma’s work in general.

    You’ve convinced me to seek out “Admired Swimming Instructor”. I’m assuming that was your inention. I currently haven’t the time to verify that.

    Some might argue that almost every video library benefits from the addition of at least one Yuma Asami title, Bill.
