The Mainichi Daily <Pop group Arashi pitches for Japan's tourism amid nuclear crisis>TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Popular Japanese boy band Arashi made a pitch Monday to attract more visitors to the country amid a decline in tourist numbers stemming from the ongoing nuclear crisis triggered by the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit northeastern Japan exactly four months ago.A film entitled "Message from Japan" featuring the five-member pop idol group began airing simultaneously across the globe in more than 133 countries and regions including the outdoor screen at New York City's Times Square.The video footage was also broadcast in places such as Seoul and London, and will also be shown at airports and Japanese embassies worldwide in the coming weeks."We would like to again issue an appeal through this film that it is safe to travel to Japan," Japan Tourism Agency Commissioner Hiroshi Mizohata told a Tokyo news conference launching the broadcast of short messages by Arashi, who were appointed last year to be the agency's ambassadors and are popular at home and abroad, particularly in Asia.At the same press event, Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto said, "The disaster has forced the drastic fall in tourists, but I hope that we can convey to the world that Japan is in top form" through the footage of five tourist spots filmed by the group's members.The Arashi members filmed their scenes as a group in the Japanese capital and individually in Hokkaido and Aomori prefectures from the north to destinations in the southern areas in Okinawa and Kagoshima prefectures and the western Japan city of Kyoto, interacting with locals and introducing cuisine and practices there, such as the sitting meditation known as "zazen" in Kyoto.Group member Jun Matsumoto said, "The tourist spots in Japan are regaining their cheerfulness so we sincerely look forward to everyone around the world coming to visit."Another group member, Kazunari Ninomiya, who visited Aomori and introduced his interaction with people preparing for the famous Nebuta summer festival, expressed hope that people would learn more about places in Japan.According to an estimate by the Japan National Tourism Organization in May, the number of foreign visitors in April dropped 62.5 percent from a year earlier, marking the sharpest ever fall for a month due to the impact of the March 11 catastrophe.
