Look at this swimming pool, doesn't it make you smile wickedly?
That's a famous scene from AV films. Whenever an actress has a swimming lesson or becomes a swimming instructor, she'll see it. Although the space isn't large, the production companies always make the most of it, having the male actor release tons of sperm into the pool and on the nearby lounge chairs—the whole place is awash in springtime!
This springtime isn't the springtime of spring, but the springtime of moaning. But did you know...? This scene is about to become history; in fact, no film companies are shooting there anymore...
Damn, is it the pneumonia's fault again?
No, not really. This swimming pool had practically severed ties with the AV industry long before the pandemic. It wasn't that the authorities had some foresight and took preventative measures; rather, working with AV production companies was incredibly unprofitable. Every time they finished filming, the pool was filled with bodily fluids from the actresses and actors, requiring complete drainage and disinfection. This cost was so high that it sometimes resulted in a loss compared to the rental fees (because disinfection wasn't always necessary). With rent increases not being easy to come by, they had no choice but to say goodbye to AV productions.
Is there any hope? The solution is actually quite simple: the production companies could accept a rent increase. However, this problem is far from simple, as they are also cutting production costs.
With the ongoing pandemic, it's likely that production companies will tighten their belts even more after resuming operations. I doubt we'll see this swimming pool again anytime soon. Sigh, it's true that life is like that; many people and things become fleeting memories when the time comes. Just like how many people don't even recognize Mine Nayuka (峰奈由果) anymore after I introduced her marriage the other day, that's how people realize they're getting old.
Now that the AV industry has developed new swimming pools (like in Ryoumori's film), I hope you won't forget about this one in the future.
