On March 1st, a special advanced screening of the upcoming film 'Bokura ga Ita', starring Ikuta Toma and Yoshitaka Yuriko, was held for women only at the Space FS Shiodome cinema in Tokyo.

Yoshitaka herself, as well as co-star Komatsu Ayaka and comedian Fukuda Ayano attended the screening.

Fukuda is known for her ability to pull off pretty spot-on imitations of Yoshitaka, so when the host introduced 'Takahashi Nanami' (Yoshitaka), it was actually Fukuda who appeared on stage. She first imitated the character from the film and then Yoshitaka herself.

Meanwhile, the real Yoshitaka silently appeared at the side of the stage, which surprised the women-only audience, who immediately cheered for her upon seeing her.

"What are you doing?" Yoshitaka asked her. After walking to the center of the stage, she commented, "It's my first time doing a stage greeting with a fake me. Do we really look the same?"

"Of course we do, we are identical," Fukuda replied.

Yoshitaka laughed and sighed, "It was spine-chilling, when I watched her from afar. Seeing her up-close, she actually looks like a normal person, yet she's overdoing the imitation, which gets even more on my nerves. What an irritating stage greeting..."

When Fukuda also started to imitate singer and actress YOU during the talk session, Yoshitaka joined in with her best attempt as well. Seeing how good she was, Fukuda suggested that Yoshitaka add this imitation to her repertoire. "But I'm not a comedian!" Yoshitaka laughed.

After another question, Fukuda actually started to answer in a more seriously, without imitating anyone. However, people in the audience started to laugh nonetheless. "I discovered our common feature," Yoshitaka interrupted, "We are both earning laugher when we are trying to speak seriously. I wonder why that is?" Instead of answering her, Fukuda didn't miss the chance to imitate her again, "I wonder why that is?" In reasponse, Yoshitaka almost jokingly hit her with her microphone.

The first part of "Bokura ga Ita" will open in cinemas on March 17th, while the second part will open on April 21st.
