On November 15th, Ikuta Toma and Nakatani Miki, the two stars of the upcoming movie "Genji Monogatari Sennen no Nazo", attended the Christmas illumination lighting ceremony event at Tokyo MIDTOWN. �

The Christmas illumination used about 570,000 blue LED lights to decorate the Shibafu Hiroba (event square) which measures in at around 2000 square meters. �Seeing the�gorgeous illumination, Ikuta said, "Because of this situation, I almost asked Nakatani-san to go out with me." �Then Nakatani refused Ikuta's confession saying, "You are asking that to the wrong person." which made the audience laugh.

Ikuta who plays an outstanding handsome man named�"Hikaru Genji" in the movie, said, "I'm honored to be invited to the lighting ceremony. �If 'Hikaru Genji' were to see this sight, he would be reminded of the one he loves", and he continued, "There were dark news, such as the Tohoku earthquake this year, but the movie is as sparkling as the illumination. �So please watch it."

On the other hand, Nakatani who plays "Murasaki Shikibu", said, "I would like everybody to watch the 'Hikaru Genji' who is sparkles as much as the illumination here, at the theaters. �Please watch it with whoever is precious to you." �Nakatani also revealed that she often visits Tokyo MIDTOWN in private as she said, "I go to the�lounge of the Ritz-Carlton hotel, and I often go to the MUJI here."

"Genji Monogatari Sennen no Nazo" is scheduled to be released on December 10th. �Watch the video from the event below!
