向井理の突然の降壇に、北川景子「帰っちゃうのかと思った」／映画『パラダイス・キス』初日舞台挨拶

Keiko Kitagawa, Osamu Mukai, Shunji Igarashi, Aya Omasa, Kento Kaku, Natsuki Kato, and director Takehiko Shinjo / Opening Day Stage Greeting for the Film "Paradise Kiss" Paradise Kiss is a film adaptation of the popular comic of the same name, which has sold over 6 million copies and has been translated into 14 languages, overwhelmingly supporting girls around the world. The opening day stage greeting took place at the Marunouchi Louvre on June 4th, with cast members Keiko Kitagawa, Osamu Mukai, Shunji Igarashi, Aya Omasa, Kento Kaku, and Natsuki Kato, as well as director Takehiko Shinjo, taking the stage. When asked about the challenges of adapting the film from a popular comic, Kitagawa revealed that everyone was on a diet to get closer to the manga's visuals. "Whenever we tried to eat something we were given, we would stop each other by saying, 'We're on the Parakiss diet,'" she recalled. When asked about any similarities between Mukai and George (played by Mukai), he flatly stated, "None!" Mukai gave a wry smile and asked, "Are you completely denying it?" Kitagawa responded, "Mukai is the complete opposite of George. George is supposed to come across as cold-hearted, but Mukai treated me with a friendly and kind heart. I was always curious about what kind of George he would be, and my image of him was the complete opposite." Mukai responded, "Really? I've never heard that before," to which Kitagawa replied, "He's not the type to mess around with you like that." When Mukai then asked, "What about in the main story?" Kitagawa confirmed, "It was George." Mukai agreed, "Then it's fine," to which Igarashi chimed in, "Are you two good friends?" This film contains a message about pursuing your dreams through passion. Related to this, a question was also asked about childhood dreams. Kitagawa said she had always dreamed of wearing a white coat, answering, "A doctor or an astronaut." Mukai's dream was to "support herself," adding, "I wanted to farm and live a self-sufficient life." Igarashi's dream was to "become a company president," and he "told me he wanted to earn money and buy his parents a house." Meanwhile, Kaku revealed that he "wanted to be a charismatic person," drawing laughter. Omasa and Kato both said they wanted to be "nursery school teachers." Afterwards, when the MC spoke to Mukai, he suddenly left the stage! Kitagawa was surprised and looked worried, but when Mukai returned, he was holding a bouquet of blue roses. "You worked really hard, especially last year's hot summer, and with the promotions. Good job, Yukari," he said, handing her the bouquet. Kitagawa looked relieved and said, "I thought you were going home." Furthermore, Kitagawa thanked Mukai, saying, "I'm so happy and surprised, I feel like I'm blank. We've worked together on this project and promoted it together, and now, finally, thank you for doing this again." Referring to her May 30th event, where she said that she preferred Yamamoto Yusuke's Tokumori to Mukai's George, she smiled and said, "I'll correct that a bit. I think I'll go with George after all."
