Mika Nakashima Tornadoes Through Hong Kong
Hundreds of Fans At the Airport Created Chaos!
October 2nd 2005 - Yahoo News - [ Source ]
[ MING News ] Yesterday, Japanese super star Mika Nakashima tornadoed through Hong Kong with "NANA" costar Ryuhei Matsuda, director Kentarou Ootani, and other staff. Hundreds of fans gathered at the airport. There were moms who were so busy chasing down Mika, that they didn't even care for their children! Kids who were separated from their parents were crying for their moms, creating a huge chaos. "NANA's" promotional work in Hong Kong will start today on October 2nd. Yesterday, their number one goal in Hong Kong was to enjoy the national fire works festival in their hotel, which includes a stellar ocean view.
"NANA's" leading star Mika Nakashima along with her entourage, arrived at the airport approximately at 1 P.M. Mika Nakashima's charm is extraordinary. She attracted over a hundred Hong Kong fans to meet her at the airport. She was welcomed with loud applause and huge welcome signs. There were also hardcore Japanese fans who showed up to meet their idol in Gothic Lolita gear. Hong Kong's Congress arranged for security to be in the area to keep order. However, as soon as Mika appeared, things went out of control. Many people wanted to get closer to the famous idol. This super star held a friendly expression the whole time. Even through the chaos, a smile remained on her face.
Ryuhei Matsuda, who didn't get such a great reception, didn't look too well.
Because most of the fans at the scene were Mika Nakashima fans, leading male star Ryuhei Matsuda, who was being protected by security, was pushed around everywhere. He didn't look too happy about it. Mika Nakashima's fans lost control trying to get near her. Some people tried throwing their shoes to touch her! Other fans, who got to see her face to face, actually fainted! Mika held out her arms, wanting to shake hands with her fans. The grumpy looking Ryuhei Matsuda who saw the sentiment, couldn't contain himself and laughed in enjoyment. However, a group of fans who were really slick, pulled themselves together and continued to pursue the idol. In the crowd were a LOT of crying children who wanted their moms. It was total chaos!

Hong Kong's Congress sent a car to take the entourage to the Intercontinental Hotel. They will be staying in luxury suites with glorious views of the ocean, where the group can enjoy the fire works festival. "NANA's" promotion will only be at Hong Kong. But Mika Nakashima's star power will attract the media from other countries like Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and more.
Letter from Hong Kong Fan:
Dear Lisa:
May you help us to clarify at your board (the news
update)? The situation of Mika and Ryuhei's coming
is not totally true reported by Ming Pao and Sing Tao
daily.
I and many Ryuhei fans are at the spot. There are
many Mika fans, they are very gentle, many boys too.
When Mika and Ryuhei come out from the restricted
area, we scream Mika's name. Suddenly some of crazy
young Mika fans cross the border and crowded to Mika
and Ryuhei, they are pushed to the wall. Mika and
Ryuhei keep smiling.
I see a Lolita style girl falls down on the floor, and
cannot catch up to the group. And it is difficult for
Mika and Ryuhei to walk to the car park. Since there
are many crazy Mika fans, most of the gentle Mika fans
so as Ryuhei fans cannot take photos, and because of
safety, we just follow the crowd and walking to the
car park. A girl falls down on the floor again, but
Ryuhei does not aware as he is not looking at the same
direction. He smiles not because of someone falls
down! He just keeps smiling towards Mika fans. He
even does not know there are some Ryuhei fans coming
because we can only stay at the back. And in the
corridor towards car pack, Ryuhei is keeping be pushed
towards to the wall by the crowd, so poor!
I hope you can clarify to the public. Mika fans and
Ryuhei fans are happy to meet our stars, most of them
are friendly and very gentle. We exchange photos and
want to watch the movie. We don't want some poor
media report incorrectly and break the image of our
star. Thanks.
