About

That Pool (Japanese: 例のプール, Rei no Pool or あのプール, Ano Pool) refers to an indoor swimming pool in Hana Zono Room, a luxury apartment-style studio located in Tokyo, Japan. On the web, the studio has become a popular monument of Japanese pornography due to its frequent usage as a location set by idol agencies and adult entertainment companies.

Origin

Owned and operated by Japanese real estate company P Studio, Hanazono Room[1] was built in Tokyo's Shinjuku district sometimes in the early 2000s. Due to its proximity to Japanese model agencies and production companies, the studio's indoor pool became frequently used as a backdrop for swimsuit photo shoots and adult films, especially low-budget productions with limitations on location shoots. However, it is unclear exactly when people took notice of the location or coined the nickname "That Pool."

Spread

Sometime in the mid-2000s, a few of users on BBSPINK, 2channel's sister board community for adult contents, began to take notice of an indoor pool commonly featured in idol magazine spreads as well as a few adult films. Several BBSPINK threads for talking about this pool were posted in 2005[2] and 2007.[3] During this period, BBSPINK users were able to identify the pool's location as Hanazono Room and began referring to it as "That Pool," though it mostly remained an in-joke within the community.
