Ryōta Miyadate of the group Snow Man repeatedly stumbled over his words during the first-day stage greeting for the film “Kokurōjō” on June 19, 2026 [1].
The incident highlighted the lighthearted chemistry among the cast during the promotional tour for the period-mystery film, which premiered in Tokyo's Chiyoda-ward [2].
Miyadate, 33 [3], was sharing a story about a memorable phrase he had received from co-star Masahiro Motoki [4]. During the anecdote, Miyadate began "chewing" his words, eventually saying “おめぇました” [1]. The verbal slip caused co-star Yuriko Yoshitaka, 37 [3], to laugh on stage [1].
The event was attended by a wide array of the film's ensemble, including Motoki, 60 [3], Yoshitaka, and other cast members such as Masaki Suda, Takahiro Aoki, Yū Karamoto, and Jo Odagiri [2]. The atmosphere remained jovial as the actors discussed their experiences filming the mystery [4].
Motoki later said the moment was unexpected, asking if Miyadate had left an "unexpected mark" on the event [5]. Miyadate had previously said that he felt honored after being praised by Motoki during the production [1].
While some reports described the event as a red-carpet ceremony, other sources identified it specifically as the first-day stage greeting [2, 6]. The gathering served as the primary promotional launch for the film in the Japanese market [2].
““おめぇました””
The viral nature of the moment reflects the high public interest in Snow Man members and the strategic use of 'humanizing' moments during film premieres to generate social media engagement and organic publicity for the movie's release.
