After filming the popular drama Nodame Cantabile, Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi have once again teamed up for the movie version, reprising their roles as 'Nodame' and 'Chiaki Sempai'. Yesterday the two stars arrived in Hong Kong to promote their new film. With their raising popularity, they caused quite a commotion at the airport. Ueno, who is on her first promotional visit to Hong Kong, was very affectionate and shook hands with her fans. She seemed to steal attention away from Tamaki with her friendly nature.

Once a rumoured couple, Ueno and Tamaki seem like they have a close relationship with each other. They were laughing and chatting away when they arrived yesterday afternoon. At one point in time, Tamaki said something to Ueno, which caused her to 'retaliate' by hitting him. Both were dressed very casually and wore hats. Tamaki even wore sandals. The two specially came from Japan to promote Nodame Cantabile Saishu Gakusho ~ Zenpen. Today (Sunday), they will be attending a meet and greet session as well as the screening for their film.

There were originally 30 fans waiting at the airport for their arrival. However, fans sparked interest for dozens of onlookers. Aside from other travelers and visitors to Hong Kong, there were even airport staff that were curious about the commotion. By the time Ueno and Tamaki left the restricted area, there were well over a hundred onlookers that gathered at the arrivals, making it an incredibly chaotic scene.

Approximately 45 minutes after their flight landed, Ueno and Tamaki stepped out of the restricted area accompanied by more than ten staff members and security personnel, who directed them towards the airport parking lot. Ueno and Tamaki graciously stopped to allow the media to take photos. Tamaki even accepted a bouquet of flowers and small presents from his fans. Ueno appeared very friendly and kept waving and shaking hands with everyone. Tamaki however, seem more reserved but still had a smile on his face. At the end, it took them about 15 minutes to get to the parking lot. They left in two vehicles that were arranged by their company to take them to their hotel.
