TOKYO —

SMAP idol Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, 33, gave reporters some hands-on treatment this week when he massaged them to promote his new film in which he plays the role of a blind masseur at a hot spring resort who falls in love with a woman.

The press conference was held at the spa facility Oedo Onsen in Daiba, Tokyo. Asked why the ticket price for the film is 1,000 yen while the average is 1,800, Kusanagi said, “I would like many people to feel relaxed by watching this heartwarming 96-minute film in the same way they feel after relaxing in a hot spring for 1,000 yen per 90 minutes.”

“Yamano Anata, Tokuichi no　koi” will be released on May 24.
