"Descending" to Shinjuku with Kasumi Arimura at the "Black Showman" event

On September 3rd, singer and actor Masaharu Fukuyama appeared alongside Kasumi Arimura at an event held just before the release of his starring film "Black Showman" (directed by Ryo Tanaka, to be released on September 12th) at the plaza in front of Seibu Shinjuku PePe (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo).

When the event began and the two appeared on the balcony, a huge cheer rose from the crowd of 2,000, including passersby. During the talk, Fukuyama revealed that the "alcohol collection" lined up in the bar of his character Takeshi was "a collection I brought from my own home." "At the time of filming, ' Tokyo Swindlers' was a hot topic, and I learned that they featured some amazing whiskey," he said, "so I didn't want 'Black Showman' to be outdone, so I busily brought some in."

The film is based on a novel by Higashino Keigo. Former junior high school teacher Kamio Eiichi (Nakamura Toru) is murdered by an unknown assailant. His daughter, Kamio Mayo (Arimura), who was due to be married in two months, receives the sudden news of his death and returns to her hometown. Wanting to know the truth about why Eiichi was killed, Mayo is visited by her uncle, Kamio Takeshi (Fukuyama). Armed with his exceptional magic tricks, his wicked sleight of hand, and his mentalist-level skill in people observation and leading questions, Mayo takes on the mystery of the murder... this is the story.
