On March 3rd, the heartwarming movie "Shiawase no Pan", starring Harada Tomoyo and Oizumi Yo, held a free screening and handshake event in the area struck by the Great Tohoku Earthquake one year ago.

The 'Ganbare Tohoku! Tohoku Support Project' with the free screening was organized in order to give back some warmth to the people who are still suffering from the great earthquake.

Many people took the opportunity to watch the movie. One of them commented afterwards, "It's the first movie I've seen in a year. The earthquake completely filled me with tension, but during the heartwarming movie this tension was replaced with a feeling of warmth. I was really able to relax during those two hours."

Director Mishima Yukiko, who personally experienced the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995, said, "The most fundamental things are food and sleep. However, I think there is something else that is also very important and that is the chance to share your joy and sorrow with other people."

Seventeen years ago she already thought that this feeling should be turned into a movie and with "Shiawase no Pan" she finally achieved to convey this message to the public. "It makes me really happy that we are able to reach the people here with this movie," she said.

Oizumi Yo couldn't attend the event, but he greeted the audience in form of a video message. "In this movie you can see me as the silent husband of Harada Tomoyo. I hope you can forget about the usually noisy Oizumi Yo while watching the movie. (laughs) 'Shiawase no Pan' is a very beautiful movie and I hope that you'll love it as well."
