First-day-screening event of new movie "Nanimono"

The first-day-screening event of new movie "Nanimono" was held at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills on 15 October which was attended by the director Miura Daisuke and cast members Satou Takeru, Arimura Kasumi, Nikaidou Fumi, Suda Masaki, Okada Masaki and Yamada Takayuki. The film which is based on the novel by Asai Ryou, features a group of university students searching for jobs and through the process, try to figure out what kind of person they really are.

Sato commented that acting in this movie was a very fulfilling process for him and he was amazed and happy at how the director could lead him and such a cast made up of actors with varying and unique characters into making such a movie.

During the event, there was a game asking the cast members of their opinions of one another. For the question of who was most likely the first to secure a permanent job offer, Suda, Nikaidou and Okada all picked Satou. Suda commented that Sato is a clever person who can do anything if he puts his heart into it and is good at dealing with people. What's more, since he is so good-looking, he will definitely get the job. In response, Satou said that he was happy with his popularity today and might consider getting a job for real.

For the question on who is most likely to betray others, Nikaidou and Yamada both picked Okada. Nikaidou related that Okada had peeped at the cards of another player during his promotional appearance in the Babanuki game on "VS Asahi" but he clarified that he did see the cards but did not betray anyone. Yamada then chipped in that Okada can't hide his emotions from appearing on his face which led Okada to reply that Satou is even better at this since the latter is so clever that Okada wouldn't know if he has been betrayed since he can't even sense it.

As for the question on who might be most affected when he or she falls out of love, Satou, Arimura, Suda and Yamada all chose Okada. Satou teased Okada for still being affected which led Okada to say that there's no such thing. As for the question on who is most popular with the opposite gender, Okada and Nikaidou chose Satou for being popular with both men and women since he is fun to be with and can treat everyone nicely. However, Satou chose Arimura instead and said that she is most likely to be more popular than him in reality.

With regard to the question on who they want to be roommates with, Satou, Arimura and Okada chose Suda. Satou said that this was a choice by elimination since he couldn't imagine staying together with Yamada but the latter said that he chose Satou because he felt that Satou wouldn't interfere nor bother about him too much.
