Stage-greeting for 16,000 people! Ninomiya Kazunari’s 4197km nationwide tour!

On March 28th, actor Ninomiya Kazunari and Director Otomo Keishi visited Fukuoka as their last stop in their stage greeting tour to thank all the five cities around the country where their movie “Platina Data” has been a smashing hit. Ninomiya appeared in front of 7,000 fans gathered in Hakata Station Square (Fukuoka) and sent his greeting in Hakata dialect, “Everyone in Fukuoka, you are all fashionable~”, receiving a huge cheer from the audience.

The production had promised to make this tour and visit theaters nationwide even before publishing. The cities were picked according to the number of access to QR codes in Toho Cinemas, where users had to register their cities to make them qualify. Ninomiya and Otomo have been visiting the top 5 cities that applied to this event, going from stage to stage since March 23rd first in Tokyo, followed by Sapporo, Niigata, Osaka and Fukuoka, the city who gathered the most amount of votes. They have traveled a total distance of 4197,27km across Japan.

Ninomiya has greeted a total of 16,000 fans in 18 events.

Ninomiya expressed his love for ramen, he usually has ramen with Arashi members in the dressing room whenever they are in Fukuoka. Soon after telling this he received a coupon for 100 bowls of free ramen from the cinema to which a delighted Ninomiya replied, “Aren’t they warm? Just when I was feeling like eating 100 bowls of ramen”.

Since screened in March 16th, “Platina Data” has been watched by 1.1million people and has grossed a total of 1.3 billion yen up until now.
