The 39th Tokyo International Film Festival opened on the 26th with SUKIYAKI Ue o Muite Aruko as its opening film. Lead Junichi Okada, co-stars Tori Matsuzaka and Nana Seino, and director Kiyoshi Sasaki walked the red carpet last, after roughly two hours of arrivals, in the rain. Seino, who plays Okada's wife Junko, wore a pure white dress. The film opens December 25.
The four walked last, after roughly two hours of arrivals, and stopped for the fans who had waited through the rain. Okada said he was happy to have walked at the end and thanked the crowd for the support. Matsuzaka said the greetings of "do your best" from the crowd had meant a lot despite the weather.
Seino described playing Junko opposite Okada's Hachidai: as she watched him perform the role on set, she said the wish for Hachidai to keep doing what he loves for his whole life grew stronger. The film screens as the opening selection and opens in theaters on December 25.
