May 23rd is Kiss Day ♡ It is said to be the day when Japan's first movie kiss scene was revealed*

Because it's Kiss Day, I've gathered some cute kiss shots♡
May 23rd every year is Kiss Day♡
Kiss Day was established because on this date in 1946, the movie "Hatachi no Seishun," which featured the first kiss scene in Japanese cinema, was released.*
Until then, kiss scenes were taboo in Japanese films, but GHQ instructed that "for Japanese people to express their desires and emotions openly in front of others, without being secretive about love and affection, is essential for the reformation of Japanese thought." Consequently, this film included the first kiss scene.
In the film, the scene only shows the male and female leads barely touching their lips (and even through gauze soaked in hydrogen peroxide!),
but people at that time, who had never seen a kiss scene before, reportedly watched the movie with excitement and surprise.♡
In honor of this once-a-year Kiss Day, this article introduces cute kiss shots that you'd want to take during pre-wedding shoots and on your wedding day♡
