Cine Canon Southbound Premiere

Here is the news coverage clip on the Southbound premiere at Cine Canon Yurakucho Theater. I was wondering why Keiko didn't attend the first premiere show  with her onscreen family and instead settled for this one. It appears that the director of Southbound, Morita Yoshimitsu, meant to honor Keiko and fellow cast mate, Kenichi Matsuyama as actors that he looks forward to working with. God bless that man, and the  fact that he's handing them jobs in advance!

Okay, okay, so Keiko barely appears. But so what? You get to see her stand and look pretty while the male and female leads of the movie (who play her character's parents) totally steal the show. But it's cool to see and nice to know there was a lot of coverage given for this movie. Keiko looks stunning as usual is a cool frock dress with matching baby doll stilettos. She looks So glamorous!

On January 29, 2007 Keiko attended a fashion show and Dear Friends screening at Shibuya 109 with her costar Yuika Motokariya. The fashion show was a collaboration between Cawaii Magazine, the famous Japanese fashion brand CECIL McBEE, and Keiko's movie. You'll notice the outrageous style of the models because they range from kogal to ganguro but Yuika and Keiko look stunning compared to them. Also watch for the giggles that erupt from Keiko when Yuika responds that her first impression of Keiko was that she was cute! ^_^

On January 16, 2007 Keiko attended a Dear Friends screening with Yuika Motokariya on one of their many campaigns to promote the movie. There were WILD screaming and cheering, many pictures, and a nice long interview for Keiko and Yuika afterwards. You would have thought they were Hollywood celebrities! The end, of course, is the Dear Friends trailer! You can watch the subbed version of the trailer here.

 

Kyodo Press: Coming of Age Ceremony

 On January 8, 2007 Keiko appeared at a Coming of Age Ceremony at the Tokyo Toyokawa Inari. Stardust definitely made Keiko go out there, what with the Dear Friends trailer that appeared at the end of the segment.  When it comes to promotional work, Stardust doesn't play. Keiko is interviewed by a reporter from Kyodo Press and answers a series of questions. She giggles a lot and even makes a mistake when throwing the coin, which makes her look more open and friendly. When she bows to pray Keiko looks absolutely elegant. It's a perfect blend of girlish charm and elegance! Compared to past  movie interviews, Keiko looks MUCH more relaxed and happy so good for her!

Movie Walker, an online cinema coverage organization, covered the fantastic press conference/ car show where Keiko is treated like a diva and reporters bombard her with questions about her role as Reiko and what it was like to live in America. She looks so BEAUTIFUL with wavy hair!
