After starring in 'Red Cliff' as 'Xiao Qiao', Lin Chi-ling's popularity has skyrocketed in the Japanese market. Even popular idol group SMAP asked her to appear in their new MV 'Sotto Kyutto' as their female lead. Lin Chi-ling and Kimura Takuya danced together; Katori Shingo appeared with puppets and Inagaki Goro used flower petals.

Five Members Used Their Charm on the Beauty

SMAP rarely invites female actresses in the MVs, but Lin Chi-ling was specially invited due to her rise in popularity. Lin Chi-ling also expressed she never thought it would happen. The MV was released the night before yesterday. Lin Chi-ling played the role of a depressed OL crying in the rain. SMAP members used their charms to cheer her up. Inagaki blew pink flower petals at her; Nakai Masahiro offered his handkerchief, Kusanangi Tsuyoshi held an umbrella; Katori used puppets to make her smile; while Kimura held her hand and invited her for a dance.

'Sotto Kyutto' is the theme song to Kusanagi's drama 'Ninkyo Helper'. The MV is directed by Nakashima Tetsuya. As Lin Chi-ling is very tall (5'9") and around the same height as Kimura, she wore flat shoes while filming to achieve the best results.

Lin Chi-ling expressed that working with SMAP felt like a dream. She was very happy for the opportunity. Her fluent Japanese shocked her dance partner, Kimura. Lin said, "Kimura is very gentle". Kimura expressed that although the time was short, it was a very happy collaboration.
