Nishikido Ryo & Horikita Maki in new movie "Kenchou Omotenashika"

Kanjani 8's Nishikido Ryo and Horikita Maki will be starring in the movie "Kenchou Omotenashika" (Hospitality division of the prefectural office) which is due to be shown in May next year. The story is based on the same-titled novel by Arikawa Hiro, the author better known for "Toshokan Sensou" which is set in the tourism hospitality division that really exists in Kochi Prefectural Office. The two of them will play employees in this division which strives hard to boost the tourism industry in the prefecture. Nishikido's character will be Kakemizu Fumitaka, a young employee who's kind but clumsy and unable to react accordingly to circumstances. On the other hand, Horikita plays Myojin Taki, a part-time worker in the same division.

Filming will begin in September and the Kochi Prefectural Office has given full support by helping to construct the set in their premises and featuring the key tourism spots in their locality.
