First-day-screening of movie "Kenchou Omotenashika"

The first-day-screening event of movie "Kenchou Omotenashika" was held on 11 May 2013 at TOHO Cinemas Nigeki 2 which was attended by cast members Nishikido Ryo, Horikita Maki, Funakoshi Eiichiro, Koura Kengo and Seki Megumi. Nishikido plays an employee of the Kochi Prefectural Government's newly set-up hospitality department where he has to work with Horikita & Co. to promote tourism to Kochi. As such, he also took on the role of being the first-day-screening event's host and even reminded the audience before the screening of important things such as switching off their phones and not taking any pictures during the screening. Since Nishikido was not used to hosting events on his own, he called upon his co-star Horikita for help since she had been the Kouhaku host last year. With response to his "plea" for help, Horikita jokingly said that she would help if Nishikido paid her for it which the latter responded in the affirmative.
