Fans got a huge surprise today as photos of Tenjochiki walking on the 21st Tokyo International Film Festival's green carpet appeared online. The four beautiful ladies accompanied Koike Teppei and other actors of "Homeless Chugakusei" (Homeless Middleschool Student), one of the most awaited films this year.
Tenjochiki's song, "Here", in collaboration with Cliff Edge, was chosen as the movie's theme song. "Here" will release on October 22, 3 days before the release of "Homeless Chugakusei" on silver screens across Japan on October 25.
The Tokyo International Film Festival (established in 1985) is one of the premiere film festivals of Asia. It is one of Asia's only two competitive film festivals accredited by FIAPF (Fedération International des Associations de Producteurs de Films; English: International Federation of Film Producers Associations). It is now known as the largest film festival in Asia.
This year, it opened in ritzy Roppongi Hills on Saturday, October 18, with an environmental theme "Ecology — Preservation of Earth's Environment." Filmakers around the world greeted Japanese movie fans on a symbolic green carpet made of recycled plastic bottles instead of the traditional red. All films will be screened with electricity generated by wind energy.
Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso, Hollywood actress Julianne Moore, Hong Kong's acclaimed director John Woo (director of the epic "Red Cliff"and American flims "Face/Off" and "Mission Impossible II"), actor Tony Leung, actor/singer Koike Teppei, Japanese-Taiwanese heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro, popular Japanese actor Satoshi Tsumabuki, Japanese actress Yoshino Kimura, and directors Atsuro Watanabe and Tetsu Maeda are among the 300 or so guests that walked on the green carpet.
19 works are reserved for special screenings at the festival. A total of 15 films — selected from 690 films from 72 countries and territories — have been entered in the main competition section for the Tokyo Sakura Grand Prix and other awards. Academy Award-winning American actor Jon Voight will head the board of judges for the films, all of which will be screened for the first time in Asia. The Sakura Grand Prix and other award results will be announced on October 26.
The Tokyo International Film Festival has aspired to be the premiere festival in Asia for international films with the same prestige as Cannes, Venice or Berlin. The festival will last from Saturday, October 18 until Sunday, October 26.

Since there had been no announcement from AVEX that Tenjochiki would attend the prestigous Tokyo International Film Festival, it was quite a happy shock to see them on the green carpet in gorgeous, floor-length evening gowns.
