日本へようこそ(nihon e yokoso): Welcome to Japan!

Last night around 10 PM, my favorite movie star Brad Pitt with his partner Angelina Jolie and their 6 children arrived at the Narita Airport by their private jet. The purpose of their visit is the PR for his new movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" which will be released on Feb. 7 in Japan.
I am very looking forward to watching this movie because it is nominated for the most 13 categories of the 81st Academy Awards including Brad Pitt as the Performance by an actor in a leading role.
Angelina Jolie's new movie "Changeling" will be also released on Feb. 20. She is also nominated for the Performance by an actress in a leading role for this movie.
It's been 3 years and 2 months since they came to Japan together for the PR of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in November 2005.
It usually costs yen 1,800 (about $20) for an adult to watch a movie in Japan. But depends on theaters, they have special service days such as "Ladies' Day" once a week and "Movie Day" on the first day of the month, and people can watch a movie at yen 1,000. Seniors (60+) are able to watch at yen 1,000 always, I think.
