Japanese pop singer Kosuke Atari held his first concert on the Chinese mainland at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center last Sunday. In addition to his distinctive singing, his acting debut in the film
"Cape No. 7" was also impressive. The story is about a band in a rural
town. He plays himself, as a famous singer who visits the town for a
concert. His major debut single "Sorezore Ni" is part of the movie. Even without a strong promotional campaign, the romantic musical
drama has gained unexpected popularity. Raking in more than 100 million
yuan (US$14.6 million) at the box office, it is the highest-grossing
Chinese-language film produced in Taiwan.
