The hot days are continuing, how's everyone getting through them (^^)?
Because of everyone's support, the movie Hana Yori Dango Final is a big hit. I am truly happy.
Following the campaign in the 5 big cities of Sapporo～Nagoya～Fukuoka～Osaka～Tokyo a few days ago, we head to Okinawa this time. This was one of the location shoots for the movie where we were looked after well. With Director Ishii, we went to greet the fans on stage.
And what a happy occasion it was, aiko-san who sang the theme song for Tsukushi this time round, appeared as a special guest o(^-^)o
It was her first time doing stage greetings for a movie, so aiko-san said she was nervous. But during her time on stage, we talked about various things including when the song was requested as background music for the movie and the meaning in the song lyrics. It was fun and time passed just like that and at the end of it, we took a commemoration photo together.
Just like KissHug, my pet dog at home is also named Hug, you know ! Well, although there's really no connection between them, aiko-san went "Eeh～ Sugoi !" with delight...
It's a little impolite for me to say since I'm younger than her but aiko-san is really cheerful and good-humoured, a really kawaii kind of person.
That whole smiling face of hers keeps making your heart go 'kyun' (*laugh*)
Once again... aiko-san, thank you very much for creating such a wonderful piece of music. To have someone like aiko-san sing the theme song for me, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. Everyone too, please listen to aiko-san's KissHug time and again.
Summer is the season of love ♪
This summer, watch Hana Yori Dango Final together with someone important to you, listen to KissHug and make lots of wonderful memories ne.
kyun → your chest growing tighter for a moment because of strong feelings.
Mao seems to like this word a lot :)

暑い日々が続きますが、皆さんいかがお過ごしですか(^^)？
皆さんの応援のおかげで、映画『花より男子ファイナル』が大ヒットし、私も本当に嬉しいです。
先日の札幌～名古屋～福岡～大阪～東京の5大都市キャンペーンに続き、
今回は、映画のロケ地として大変お世話になった沖縄に、石井監督と舞台挨拶へ行ってきました。
そしてなんと嬉しいことに、特別ゲストとして、
今回つくしのテーマソングを歌ってくれたaikoさんも駆け付けてくれたのですo(^-^)o
映画の舞台挨拶は初めてだったようで、緊張すると言っていたaikoさん。
けど本番では、映画の挿入歌を依頼された時のことや歌詞の意味など、いろいろとお話してくれました。
楽しい時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまいましたが、最後に一緒に記念写真。
『KissHug』と同じく、ウチの愛犬もHugって言うんですよ！というあまり関係ないことにも、
aikoさんは『へぇ～すごぉい！』と喜んでくれて…
年下の私が言うのも失礼ですが、aikoさんは、とっても明るくて気さくで本当に可愛いらしい方。
あの満面の笑顔に胸キュンしっぱなし（笑）
改めて…aikoさん、素敵な曲を作っていただき、本当にありがとうございました。
今回aikoさんのような方にテーマソングを歌っていただいたこと、心から感謝しています。
皆さんも是非、aikoさんの『KissHug』を改めて聞いてみてください。
夏は恋の季節♪
今年の夏は大切な人と一緒に『花より男子ファイナル』を見に行って、KissHugを聞いて、
素敵な思い出をたくさん作ってくださいね。
