Yuji Sakamoto's new film 『The First Kiss』, which won the Cannes International Film Festival Screenplay Award The Host" (directed by Hirokazu Koreeda), was released first in Japan on the 7th, beating out prominent competitors to become the top of the weekend box office. The movie `The First Kiss' was the highest rating among Japanese films released, easily beating the foreign animation"Wild Robot" (directed by Chris Sanders).
Above all, 'First Kiss' easily exceeded the opening profits of both the most popular Japanese melodrama film of all time in Korea 'Tonight, Even if Love Disappears in the World ' (directed by Takahiro Miki) and the screenwriter Yuji Sakamoto's previous work 'Monster'.
The factors behind this success are the two actors' lovely performances, director Ayuko Tsukahara's unrivaled production, and especially favorable reviews for the story of Yuji Sakamoto, which makes you lose track of time.
The first successful Japanese box office hit 'First Kiss' will hold a special premiere before its release in Korea. On the 14th, a special premiere will be held to commemorate Valentine's Day, which presents chocolates between favorite friends or lovers, and attention is being paid to whether it will attract hot reviews by shooting the hearts of domestic audiences on a special day.
'First Kiss' is a story about a wife who accidentally loses her husband in a divorce crisis and accidentally meets him again 15 years ago. Matsumura Takako, Matsumura Hokuto, Yoshioka Riho, Morinana, and Lily Frankie appeared, and director Ayuko Tsukahara of 'My Happy Marriage'Before the Coffee cools down' took the megaphone. It will be released in Korea on the 26th.
