Eikura Nana in tears at "April Bride" event  

Posted by: Pori in ,

Actress Eikura Nana (21) and actor Eita (26) attended a talk event on the 6th to promote their movie "April Bride" ("Yomei Ikkagetsu no Hanayome") that comes out on the 9th.

The movie is based on the true story of the young woman Nagashima Chie and her hopeless yet very encouraging fight against breast cancer. Chie's lover and father also attended the event and they both expressed their gratitude towards Eikura and Eita for their enthusiastic performance. Overcome with emotion and a teary voice, Eikura said, "I am the one who has to be thankful for being able to experience Chie's life overflowing with love through this movie."

Eita commented, "'Just being alive is a blessing', usually you don't think that way, but I think that many people will start to feel that way after they watched this movie."

Chie's deathy anniversary will be on the 6th and there will be a big PR event to make people aware of how it important it is to undergo medical examination for breast cancer. While fighting against the illness, Chie always had her bloved doll, the Sakura-Panda close to her and so that memorial day was named the "Sakura-Panda Day".



Here the trailer again, just in case you really still haven't seen it.
