Completion press conference of movie "Kiseki no Ringo"

The completion press conference of movie "Kiseki no Ringo" was held on 22 April at Tokyo International Forum which was attended by the leads Abe Sadao and Kanno Miho. The movie which is scheduled to be shown in cinemas from 8 June and based on a true story, features Abe and Kanno as a married couple who give their best in growing apples without the use of pesticides even though they are told that it's impossible. As this was the first public appearance of Kanno since her marriage to Sakai Masato on 2 April, it was natural that all the attention was on Kanno. When the reporters asked if her marriage to Sakai had an impact on this movie in any way, Kanno said that the movie was shot between April and June last year which was way before the couple even started dating. She didn't even think that she would get married soon at that point in time. The director of the movie Nakamura Yoshihiro who had worked with Sakai in the past, revealed that he had sounded out Kanno about her views on Sakai during the filming period but her response was lukewarm at best. When asked about whether she hoped to be an invincible couple with her husband, Kanno replied with a smile that they will work towards such a goal.
