Special screening of movie "Daijoubu Sangumi"

The special screening of movie "Daijoubu Sangumi" was held on 20 March which was attended by the novel's author cum lead actor Otodake Hirotada and TOKIO's Kokubun Taichi as well as 500 Primary 5 students from Tokyo Gakugei University Koganei Elementary School and the university's students who are taking the teaching course. The novel by Otodake is based on his experience as a primary school teacher for three years despite his physical disabilities. When Kokubun made his entrance into the stadium of the primary school where the screening was held, the primary school students were ecstatic to see him but he actually heard some of them comment that he wasn't as tall as they expected so he got a shock at their frankness when he heard that. When asked about his primary school days, Kokubun revealed that he was a troublemaker and would always be disliked by his classmates although he had the intention of being good friends with them. When both Otodake and Kokubun were asked about who they thought was an ideal teacher type, Kokubun replied that someone like Otodake who could interact frankly with children would be good while Otodake cracked a joke that someone like the sexy idol Dan Mitsu would be nice to have as a teacher. In response to that, the adults at the venue laughed while the primary school students didn't seem to know what the joke was about.
