Matching TRUE LOVE is in its promotional run, with two Tokyo stage events held on August 20 and October 10 featuring lead actress Tao Tsuchiya and Snow Man's Daisuke Sakuma.
Matching TRUE LOVE is the sequel to the 2024 suspense thriller Matching. Its promotional run has centered on two Tokyo events. On August 20, Snow Man's Daisuke Sakuma and lead actress Tao Tsuchiya appeared at a red carpet and completion screening, where Sakuma told an anecdote about the smell of garlic on his fingertips while cooking and Tsuchiya said she avoids touching garlic directly. In October, the two appeared at a stage greeting tied to the release of LiSA's theme song "Sophia." They discussed the contemporary dance they performed in the song's music video, staying in character as their film roles.
At the October event, Sakuma said he had wanted to dance with Tsuchiya for years. Tsuchiya recommended choreographer Tomohiko Tsujimoto for the dance. The two leads traded public credit for a routine neither was cast to perform. The event tied the film's promotional push to the music video and its choreography as much as to the sequel's own story, following the matching tour theme established at the August screening.
