SPRD-962 - My dad had gender reassignment surgery and turned into Kazama Yumi!?

*I wonder if this drama will be his last appearance in the Takara video productions he has appeared in since the early days? When it comes to Madonna exclusive! The genres are fixed, such as incest, adultery, massage, etc., and Yumi's good acting gets even more stuck. I'm sure sales will go up if there's only one manufacturer, but for some reason I feel sad that Yumi Kazama is probably over. After all, if only one work is produced a month, Yumi's acting and maintaining her physical strength and body will become even more difficult. Therefore, this work will be valuable in some sense.

It's a story about a father and child living together, where the father suddenly runs away, undergoes gender reassignment surgery to become Yumi Kazama, and then... with his son. When I first watched this, I was blown away by how well Yumi Kazama portrayed the father's internal transformation. In the beginning, his male ego is still very much present, and I was captivated by the gap between that ego and Yumi Kazama's natural allure. When his ego eventually shifts to that of a woman, the combination of her intense sexual desire and allure made me completely forget he was the father—I was so excited by Yumi Kazama's incredible acting. I strongly felt this was a film you can't take your eyes off of until the very end.

It's a new take on the gender-swap trope where a father becomes a woman for his son via plastic surgery. However, since she undergoes the transformation willingly, the erotic tension—the confusion and shyness—is missing, which is a shame. Instead, the focus is on the son's hesitation and resistance to sleeping with his former father. (While this fits the dramatic style of Takara Eizo, it feels a bit lacking as a gender-swap erotic film.) Yumi Kazama has done swap roles at other studios, so there's a sense of familiarity. But her very voluptuous figure might be hit-or-miss for some. If there's a sequel, I hope they lean more into the erotic side of the gender-swap drama. I want to see the kind of intense storytelling only they can pull off.
