J-Drama Pilgrimage | ラスト・シンデレラ Last Cinderella (2013) — 新宿アイランド LOVE / Hiroto and Sakura’s Episode-8 Rendezvous

Episode 8 of Fuji TV’s 『ラスト・シンデレラ』 was broadcast May 30, 2013. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies the red LOVE sculpture at Shinjuku i-LAND in Nishi-Shinjuku as the place where 佐伯広斗 / Hiroto Saeki and 遠山桜 / Sakura Toyama meet. That makes the location unusually apt for a series built around Sakura’s competing ideas of romance, companionship, and what kind of relationship she actually wants.

The landmark remains in place today. Shinjuku i-LAND’s current official art guide identifies Robert Indiana’s LOVE as the complex’s symbol, located at the front entrance and still used as a familiar meeting place. The stored coordinate is intentionally a Shinjuku i-LAND site-level point rather than a fabricated centimeter-precise sculpture or actor position; the official art guide, not the pin itself, establishes that LOVE is at the front entrance. This is public art in an active office/commercial complex, so pilgrims should keep pedestrian circulation clear and respect any temporary site restrictions.
