"Gekijouban ATARU - THE FIRST LOVE & THE LAST KILL - " in collaboration with Universal Studios Japan

ATARU and Universal Studios Japan will be involved in a collaboration project where there will be a ATARU-themed attraction in the amusement mark which will be open to the public from 1 August to 30 September only. The movie "Gekijouban ATARU - THE FIRST LOVE & THE LAST KILL -" is due to be released in cinemas from 14 September thus the new attraction at USJ titled "ANOTHER MISSION - Madoka kara no chousenjo" will be part of the promotional efforts to promote the film which features SMAP's Nakai Masahiro as ATARU and his rival Madoka played by Horikita Maki. The new attraction is set under the premise that Madoka planted a bomb inside USJ and players have to solve the hints given by ATARU in order to detonate the bomb within a limited time period. This will be the first mystery-solving game for USJ as well since it opened its doors in March 2001.

In addition, there will be a special exhibition about ATARU inside the theme park where the clothes and props used in the movie will be displayed. Limited edition goods from the film including ATARU's favourite hot dogs will be on sale as well. On 11 September, there will be a pre-film release event at USJ where cast members will appear. Details will be announced on a later date via the USJ website.
