"Last Cinderella" night race event at Oi Racecourse

Shinohara Ryoko, Fujiki Naohito and Miura Haruma appeared at the Oi Racecourse on 5 June for the Last Cinderella Race event given out in Race 12 after the 11 races of the Tokyo Derby were completed. The cast of "Last Cinderella" appeared in a specially-decorated horse carriage and alighted at the prize-giving stage. Shinohara commented that it was great to be escorted by two handsome men and felt very happy during the time she was in the carriage with them.

In actual fact, the collaboration idea was first raised by FujiTV who wanted to do an event related to Cinderella in order to tie in with the promotion of the drama. As such, Oi Racecourse then named one of its races after the drama which is the first time it has been done since previous projects were either for movies or variety shows e.g. "Kaiji" in 2009, "Girl" in 2012 and "Tunnels no Minasan no Okage deshita" in 2010. Fujiki who tried his hand at buying a race ticket and won some money from it commented that he was glad to see the race being named after his drama and winning something from the race.
