First-day screening of movie "Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Bouken"

The first-day screening of movie "Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Bouken" was held at TOHO Cinemas in Roppongi Hills on 8 February which was attended by the cast members Takenouchi Yutaka, Ono Machiko, Narumi Riko, Kimura Fumino, Honda Tsubasa and Agawa Sawako as well as the director Igumi Nami. Despite the heavy snow hitting Tokyo, about 700 guests gathered for the screening.

Takenouchi expressed gratitude that he was glad to see the movie being finally completed and ready to be viewed by everyone and praised this movie for being worthy of a gold medal if there is an Olympics for movies. When the topic switched to the Winter Olympics, Ono and Narumi were full of praise for male figure skater Hanyu Yuzuru to which Takenouchi "bragged" that he can also do turns since he has flexible hip joints. Upon hearing this, the fans egged him on to do a turn on the spot which was met with loud applause from the audience.

As it is nearing Valentine's Day, the female cast and the director gave Takenouchi a surprise present which was a 70cm-wide heart-shaped chocolate with his face as Nishino Yukihiko printed on it.

Last but not least, Nanao Tavito, the singer for the movie's theme song "TELE POTION" also made a surprise appearance at the screening where he sang the acoustic version of the song. Takenouchi said that this was the first time he heard the song live and praised it for helping him getting into the mood when playing the character.

Completion press conference of movie "Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Bouken"

The completion press conference of movie "Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Bouken" was held on 14 January which was attended by the cast Takenouchi Yutaka, Ono Machiko, Narumi Riko, Kimura Fumino, Honda Tsubasa, Asou Kumiko, Agawa Sawako, Nakamura Yurika and the director Iguchi Nami.

Takenouchi revealed that the first scene he had with Ono was a bed scene and they were told by Iguchi to behave 10 times more intimately than they did during the rehearsal which made them very embarrassed. Both of them were waiting for the director to shout "cut" but she kept rolling the camera and claimed that she was too engrossed and forgot to shout "cut". They had to do the same scene for 3 times and really thought that the director was sadistic for putting them through such "torture". With response to this, Iguchi said that she was glad that the cast exceeded her expectations and made the movie much better than it appeared on the script.

The female cast also praised Takenouchi in many ways where Ono said that he made her feel as if she was loved and accepted for who she was while Asou gushed about how charming and handsome he was and was easily swept off her feet when he looked at her in the eye. Honda also commented that she felt as if Takenouchi's eyes were sucking her into him and blushed at the mention of this. In response, Takenouchi called himself a typical Japanese guy who is probably not easy to understand so he regards people like Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen as the ideal men he tries to learn from in order to understand women better and become more popular with the ladies.

The movie "Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Bouken" is based on the novel by Akutagawa Award winner Kawakami Hiromi and features Takenouchi as a seemingly-perfect man who has great looks, a high-flying career and is good in bed but always gets dumped by the women he dates after some time. The movie will begin its run in cinemas from 8 February.

Takenouchi Yutaka to star in new movie "Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Bouken" with 7 actresses

Takenouchi Yutaka will be taking the lead role in a new movie titled "Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Bouken" (The Love and Adventure of Nishino Yukihiko) which is due to be shown in Japan next February. The movie which is based on the 2003 same-titled short stories compilation novel by Akutagawa Award winner Kawakami Hiromi, features Takenouchi as the lead character Nishino Yukihiko who is described as a hard-to-come-by handsome man who treats women well and is great at work and sex but somehow always gets dumped by the women he dates. 7 actresses in their teens to 50s will be Nishino's love interests in the movie including Ono Machiko who is his superior at work and dates him secretly, his female neighbours Narumi Riko and Kimura Fumino, Honda Tsubasa as his ex-girlfriend, Asou Kumiko as the married woman he was having an affair with 10 years ago, Nakamura Yuriko as Asou's teenage daughter and Agawa Sawako as a housewife who falls for Nishino after meeting him at cooking school. Filming will last till the end of this month.

Takenouchi said that he tried to understand from the women around him on what it meant to be the perfect man in order to play Nishino and expressed his joy at being surrounded by so many beautiful actresses during the filming. There was a scene where he and Ono had to film a bed scene but the director kept asking them to make it look more intense than what they had rehearsed so Ono and he had to make sure that the scene would not cause the movie to earn a R-15 rating while making sure they met the director's requirement.
