There was an explosion of media reports on the premier screening of Nazotoki Dinner no ato de movie in Singapore.
Here's a collation of the media reports I found that appeared in Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong.
Newspaper:
1) My translation for one of the Singapore chinese paper: here
Sho watches batman to prepare himself as Kageyama
2) Singapore Chinese papers: Wanbao (Evening papers)
Translation:
When Sakurai Sho visited Singapore last June to film his movie, the vivid colours left an impression on him. He said "There was a scene which used Raffles Hotel as the background. The white (Raffles Hotel), building, the surrounding lush greenery, along with other elements in the environment were very pretty because their colours contrast each other.
Keiko mentioned that "The time spent on the cruise ship was way longer than the time spent on land. It was a fresh experience".
Shinna Kippei was always smiling and gave out a cheeky vibe whenever he answered questions from the media. He said he was quite amused to know that one can travel to 3 countries in on day, for example from Singapore to Thailand, and on the way pass through Malaysia, is such an amazing experience. (I think he is saying that because he had to transfer flight, from Singapore, then stopping at Thailand then back to Japan?)
As for the director, he said that when they came to Singapore last year, the merlion was in renovation, therefore they had no choice but to return to Singapore 2-3 weeks later just to take that shot that has the merlion in it.
When asked why the director chose Singapore as the filming location, he said it was purely because he was looking for a very extravagant cruise ship. The location management team chose the Star Virgo, so he thought of filming in Singapore too.

Shiina Kippei san was very humorous and smiley, as compared to the restrained vibe that Sho and Keiko had. Sho was very careful with his words while Kippei-san injected humour whenever he answered and lightened the mood.
When asked about the impression they had on SIngapore, Kippei san said "I once sat on the cable car to Sentosa, the view was stunning, I could see kids playing in the sea, and the head of the merlion! When we filmed in Singapore last year, the merlion along the Merlion walk in the city area, was under renovation. That merlion was small, as compared to the one in Sentosa.I absolutely loved the merlion in sentosa, I wanted so much to crawl into its mouth and explore!"
Sho thought for a while and expressed that "When I was in Clarke Quay eating chilli crab, I had a plastic apron on, I felt it was very interesting as the restaurant in Japan uses plastic aprons".
Keiko said "Although we filmed in Singapore for 10 days, but most of the time we were in board the Virgin star Virgo, we didnt get to visit many tourist attractions. but the food on baord the cruise ship was nice, and many fans enthusiastically said hi to me, I felt that Singaporeans are so nice and friendly".
The film director said that holding the premier screening here in Singapore is to thank the SIngapore fans so that they can catch the first glimpse of the movie.
He also said about the actors and actresses. "Sho's acting is natural so I do not need to worry. Keiko's role transition from a cop to a socialite is an interesting and attractive point, Kippei is very experienced, left me a very deep impression".
Keiko elaborated more on her thoughts "Having collaborated with Sho for 2 years, I understood how Hosho Reiko will feel insecured and uncomfortable wuthout Kageyama. In real life, we have a deep friendship. I respect and relied on him. I believe everyone can feel that connection through the movie.
Sho said that he and Keiko had developed a strong trust and unwritten undertanding towards each other, due to the long period of collaboration in work. He pointed out that due to the busy schdule, the 2 has no interactions outside work.
When they were asked if they will return to Sinfapore to fim again, Sho said "If not too many audience watches the film, I think its really difficult to come back here again to film haha" whereas Keiko said she hopes to spend more time on land. Kippei replied "Next time if I am here to work in Singapore, I defintely will request to stay in a hotel where I can see the big merlion, so that I can see it even if I'm lazing in the pool hahaha!"
5) Little India is a district in Singapoe where it is rich with the Indian Heritage.
The content is the same for all the things that were covered by the other reports, so im not translating it.
6) HK newspaper 東方日報 and 明報
7) Hong Kong Sun paper
Translation:
Two main leads, Keiko and Sho "battled" speaking english, with speaking english and a few Singlish (singaporean style english) and then thanking the audience in malay. Keiko spoke in fluent english whereras Shiina Kippei said "Hi, thank you".
