Mukai Osamu gives Kitagawa Keiko 100 blue roses at “Paradise Kiss” stage appearance

On June 4th , the stars of “Paradise Kiss” (directed by Shinjo Takehiko) took the stage at the Marunouchi Louvre movie theater in Tokyo to greet their fans at the first public screening at the movie.
Actress Kitagawa Keiko (24) wore a white dress with a single silver lamé strap. During the event, her co-star Mukai Osamu disappeared from the stage, and reappeared with 100 blue roses for Kitagawa, exciting the audience with the “surprise” scene.
“It was a hot summer (during filming), and we had a lot of promotional events, but you got through it. Good job, Yukari,” Mukai said, touching Kitagawa’s hair. Seeing this, Igarashi Shunji, who plays the cross-dressing character of Isabella, playfully bit his handkerchief. For the fans, it was like seeing their favorite movie come to life.

“Paradise Kiss” is a story about a high school girl who, under the influence of some new friends, dreams about becoming a model. When asked about her dreams as a student, Kitagawa said, “Since I liked going to the doctor, I always admired the people working there. I wanted to become a doctor or an astronaut”.
“We spent August to October of last year, slightly longer than normal, taking our time to film this movie. I have been waiting for this day, when we can finally bring the movie to you all”, Kitagawa said, full of emotion.
Attending the first public screening alongside Kitagawa, Mukai and Igarashi were Kato Natsuki, Omasa Aya, Kaku Kento, and Director Shinjo. The movie is now open in theaters nationwide.
