On October 2nd, actor Mukai Osamu attended a stage greeting for his movie, "Bokutachi wa Sekai wo Kaeru Koto ga Dekinai.", at Balto 9 in Shinjuku.
During the event, it was announced that Mukai had been chosen to be Japan's first 'Japan-Cambodia Goodwill Ambassador'. He will continue his activities until the end of next year, exchanging promotions as the cultural bridge between the two countries. Because of his passion for Cambodia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested Mukai to take on this position.
Holding a letter of appointment issued by foreign minister�Gemba Koichiro, Mukai expressed, "It was as I planned. Instead of changing the world, I think it would be good to change something little by little. I want to return the favor to Cambodia."
Kubota Masataka also attended the stage greeting, and shared a story about how Mukai got angry while on set in Cambodia. With a embarrassed look, Mukai said, "It appears he likes me." In response, Kubota confessed, "I like Mukai-san! I spent the night at Mukai-san's house last night." The women in the crowd shrieked as they questioned this strange 'love confession'.
