'Kimi to Boku' Photos and Interviews all over the place

A promotional event was held for 'Kimi to Boku' and accordingly photos and articles have sprung up all over the net. Really, REALLY adorable photos of Maaya and that Nakamura boy who's also in the film holding the Ginougo kittens (*_*) Maaya would look pretty with or without the cat, of course. But with a kitten is always better!

Nikkansports.com, has a nice group shot and the portion of the Q&A they chose to focus on was the fact Nakamura and Maaya had never heard of each other before working on the film together! Actually, all of the articles seem to like including this confession!

Nakamura smiled wryly as he said, "Well...this film was the first time [I knew about her]", and Maaya also said apologetically "I didn't know who he was either...sorry. I don't usually watch television that much."

At least they were both honest!

Cinematopics.com also reports this exchange, but also has a different set of photos (similar though) and a slightly longer extract of the Q&A session. Here are some of Maaya's answers:

―――Playing a cat?
Sakamoto: This was my first time to play a cat, and because I got to watch the film while I was performing I had a fun time acting.

Eiga.com has a photo and small report too, as does Cinema Today where the Director comments that Maaya was 'perfect' for Ginougo. Going on, there's a photo and tiny article at Daily Sports Online - just a 'this happened' sort of article.

The voice actor news site MoCa News is the gold mine, really. As not only do they have some of the talk but they also have a variety of photos of Maaya (including the one in this post) which you can enjoy.

―――Regarding the process of making 'Tegami' for the theme song:

Sakamoto: I read the script and the original story book, thinking about what sort of song would linger in the mind after seeing the film. I wrote it as a message from Ginougo to the boy who is the main character. I'm really happy because they included a portion of the lyrics from 'Tegami' in the film itself.

Although, now that I look closely, does anyone else think that the kitten in this photo looks slightly evil? "Yes, world domination!"

And finally, there's a slightly longer interview about the movie with just Maaya on the Walker Plus website here. There's some promo photos from the 'You Can't Catch Me' album (which, amusingly, they've called 'You Can't Touch Me' in the article!) and some photos of Nakamura and the kitten from the film itself.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Another report and more lovely photos of Maaya at the My Comi-Journal website.

Maybe the kittens looks evil because she cannot compare in cuteness with Maaya neesan alongside and that's a jealousy stare that she have. Although I think Maaya neesan have her share of catlike personality like when she play Nino in Arakawa Under the Bridge.
