Inoue Mao tears up after Nakashima Mika’s performance at “Youkame no Semi” showing

On April 18th, a private showing of the upcoming movie, “Youkame no Semi“, which Inoue Mao stars in, was held, and Inoue, Nagasaku Hiromi, Moriguchi Yoko, Narushima Izuru (the director), and singer Nakashima Mika made appearances.

At the showing, Nakashima performed its theme song “Dear“, which was her first performance in front of  an audience since she made a comeback from Patulous Eustachian tube.

Watching Nakashima’s performance made Inoue and Nagasaku tear up, and Inoue said, “It reminds me of so many things… I’m very touched to be able to hear this song this close.”  Not only Inoue and Nagasaku, but also the audience was also happy to see Nakashima’s performance, as Nakashima received a storm of applause, as well as cheers saying, “Congratulations on your comeback!

“Youkame no Semi” is based on the best seller novel written by Kakuta Mitsuyo, and it’s a human suspense story of a woman (Nagasaku) who kidnaps her lover’s baby, and a girl (Inoue) who was raised by the kidnapper for four years.  The official release of this movie is scheduled for April 29th.
