Fukuyama Masaharu made an appearance in Hong Kong on 27 June for the premiere event of his new Galileo movie "Manatsu no Houteishiki" where he was greeted by 3,000 fans who had gathered for the red carpet event despite a high temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and humidity as high as 80%. This was Fukuyama's first visit to Hong Kong for work purposes since he made his debut 23 years ago and he was very happy to see the strong support from local fans. Fukuyama commented that if he had known about the strong support for him in Hong Kong earlier, he would have gone there earlier in the past so he hopes to hold a concert there soon.
When Fukuyama arrived at the Hong Kong airport on 26 June, about 700 fans were there to greet him including some from China. Due to the large turnout, he had to go through the VIP gate instead and the fans chanted his nickname Masha as Fukuyama waved to the fans and boarded the car.
"Manatsu no Houteishiki" will be screened in Hong Kong on the same day as Japan i.e. 29 June and will be shown in 27 cinemas which is more than what the last Galileo movie "Yogisha X no Kenshin" achieved.
