A PR event for the Port of Yokohama's 150th birthday was held on Thursday. During the event, it was announced that Hayato Ichihara and Aya Ueto have both been cast in the movie "Baton," which was revealed last month. Commissioned for Yokohama's anniversary expo, the film is an animated collaboration involving director Ryuhei Kitamura and producer Shunji Iwai.

Ichihara was presented with a surprise bouquet and cake in celebration of his 22nd birthday on Friday. He also commented on his love life, as it was discovered last June that he has had a girlfriend for about eight years. Reporters asked him about the possibility of marriage by the end of this year, but he gave a noncommittal answer, saying, "You don't know what will happen in life."
