WET DREAMS

All we know about this movie is that there’s a lot of moisture involved.

A while back we shared a pair of wonderfully summery promo images featuring Japanese actress Terumi Azuma, and today we have a poster for one of her films. As usual, no western release means no official English title, but very roughly it’s Get Wet and Stand. That’s not particularly illuminating, we know, but until we see the movie ourselves, that’s all the info we can offer. That and the fact that it was made in 1976 by Nikkatsu Studios as part of its softcore roman porno collection, it’s based on the writings of a novelist who calls himself I. Hong, and it’s a comedy. Speaking of moisture, see below.

2020 update: We’ve learned that the film is called Uno Koichiro no nurete tatsu, and for its English release was titled Koichiro Uno’s Up & Wet. Sounds refreshing. Azuma starred with Shiho Kawada and Jun Kosugi. It premiered January 24, 1976. We have no idea where to find the film, but as always we’ll keep looking.
