Mizushima Hiro
4500 handshakes in 2 days
Mizushima Hiro shook hands with 4500 people over 2 days
22nd November 2008
On the 21st of December, actor Mizushima Hiro (24) held a memorial handshake event at the Kinokuniya bookstore in Takashimaya Shinkuju to commemorate the sale of his 3rd photobook HIROMODE (on sale 22nd December).
He shook hands with about 4000 of his fans in a fan club event at C.C. Lemon Hall in Shibuya on the 20th and about 500 on the 21st. A spokesperson from his agency said, "Shaking hands with 4500 people over a stretch of 2 days, he has tired himself out." In an unusual development, this led to an event without the usual interviews by reporters after. Through his agency, Mizushima sent a message,"4000 people attended yesterday and 500 today, I am very happy."

I think he just doesn't want to deal with the inevitable pesky questions.

俳優、水嶋ヒロ（２４）が２１日、東京・新宿タカシマヤの紀伊國屋書店南店で、２２日発売の第３弾写真集「ＨＩＲＯＭＯＤＥ」（宝島社、１９８０円）の記念握手会を開催した。
２０日に渋谷のＣ．Ｃ．Ｌｅｍｏｎホールでのファンクラブイベントで約４０００人と、２１日は約５００人と握手。「２日間で延べ４５００人と握手し、本人が疲れているため」（事務所関係者）、囲み取材ナシという“異例”の展開となったが、水嶋は事務所を通じ「きのう４０００人、きょう５００人の方に集まっていただき、大変うれしく思います」と喜びのメッセージを寄せた。
