Today was the press conference for "Dareka ga Watashi ni Kiss wo Shita ~ MEMOIRS OF A TEENAGE AMNESIAC~" at the "New Otani" hotel in Akasaka, Tokyo. The main cast including Horikita Maki, Matsuyama Kenichi, Tegoshi Yuuya and Anton Yelchin as well as director Hans Canosa all attended the event to talk about the movie and other quite interesting topics.

The movie is basically all about a love rectangle with 3 guys trying to win (back) the heart of 1 girl who just lost her memory of the past 4 years due to an accident. There is the actual boyfriend (Yelchin) whom she can’t recall to be in a relationship with at all, the new guy (Matsuyama) she starts to fall in love with and her always supportive good friend (Tegoshi) who soon starts to feel more than just friendship. During the filming the 3 actors Matsuyama, Tegoshi and Yelchin were able to become really good friends despite the language barrier. "We really made a lot of nice memories together and often would have a meal together with Anton during our free time." Matsuyama said with a smile. Yelching replied: "It feels like I got myself another home."

"How would you guys proceed, if you wanted to kiss the girl you really like a lot?" That was the main question of the event and everyone shared their own opinions and experiences.
Matsuyama started: "I really would think a lot about the right place and the right timing, but eventually nothing would go according to the plan and I would miss the opportunity to kiss her."

What about Tegoshi? "I would leave the house in the morning with the words, ‘I’ll definitely do it today!’ and try to kiss her as soon as there is an opening, but usually I would fail."

Yelchin’s story isn’t that much different either. "I once asked the girl I liked: ‘May I kiss you?’ I guess I should have been a bit more aggressive…"

"How can you ask that? (laughs)" Those answers must have been a letdown for Maki, because she actually would like the boy to be more self-confident when trying to kiss her. "Boys really should be a bit pushy regarding the first kiss." She said with an eager expression. Director Canossa defended the male gender: "It would actually be a warm welcome, if the girls tried to kiss the boys instead." Yelchin wholeheartedly agreed and immediately responded: "YES! YES!"

The reporters really enjoyed this little talk and laughed a lot after Yelchin’s final response.

The movie will open in Japan on March 27.
