Interview with Kawaii TV!!

Some days before I went to Sweden Jenny, her french friend Diane and me was interviewed by a TV-team from the show Kawaii TV that airs every wednesday in Japan on the channel NHK.

This interview was not filmed though, it was only a test interview to get to know us. but the TV-team wants to make a show about it if they get OK from the channel. 

Jenny had been talking about that Kawaii TV wanted to meet them because some foreigner had told them about her. She thought it was me but I haven't talked to them before.

Some days later Maria, Said and me had just finished the photoshoot for ELLE when I saw Jenny and Diane standing next to Shibuya crossing.

I asked what they were standing around waiting for and the next second the TV-team comes up and said that all of us could come to the interview so that was a fun suprise. =)


Here's a short video from the café where we got interviewed:



Jenny's Japanese is sooo good I can't believe it. Before she came to Japan in April 2010 she had been studying it for about five years in France.

My Japanese still kinda sucks compared to Jenny and Diane but I did my best during the interview...!! XD


Here's a little bit of what they asked us: 

Kawaii TV: -"Jenny, what are you doing in Japan?"

Jenny: -"I study at a school for drawing Manga, work at the shop Bumble Bee in Shibuya 109 and will soon start to do modeling". 

Kawaii TV: -"So would you like to become a Manga artist in the future?"

Jenny: -"That was my dream originally but I don't really know anymore."

Kawaii TV: -"What do like to sing at Karaoke?"

Jenny: -"Songs from the korean band "Big Bang".

The Kawaii TV-team on the right side of me.

Kawaii TV: -"Diane, do you have a boy friend?"

Diane: -"Yes I'm engaged with a Japanese guy I met in France".

Kawaii TV: -"Is he a Gyaru-O?" (Gyaru-boy)

Diane: -"No he's he's normal".

Kawaii TV: -"Fredrik, why did you wanna go to Japan?"

Me: -"I played Japanese video games since I was 5 years old and later started to like Animé and Japanese movies. Then I got fascinated by the fashion and culture here." 

Kawaii TV: -"So what's your favorite Animé?"

Me: -"Death Note and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei." (Translation: So long, Teacher Despair) 

Kawaii TV: -"Do you have a dream for the future?"

Me: -"I would love to make a reality show similar to MTV's "The Hills" about young Japanese people's life. The scene would be Shibuya instead of Hollywood."


It was a lot of fun doing the interview and I recently heard that Kawaii TV might do a documentary about Jenny's life here. Exciting!!^^
