Laughed at by Millions on TV ;)
One week ago I became known in TV as a "Charai"(Playboy) who buys crazy hats for my countries money...
Here's how it happened:
Since there's no English subtitles I will try to explain and translate the show.
My guest house had been choosen to be on a show about people that's poor but still happy. It was the most watched show on TV that night in Japan.
Here's two of the poor girls. Pretty funny that those two are considered poor in Japan...
As in many Japanese TV-shows a panel of famous people are watching and discussing everything that is shown.
While you're watching you can randomly see the famous people's reactions in the box in the upper left corner.
Here's the translation of my clip:
The famous comedian duo Haruna and Haruka has come to our guest house and says:
-"I would like to see who else is living here."
That turns out to be a "23 year old international student from Sweden" named Fredrik...
They come into my room and goes:
-"It's really clean!" (Before the TV-show it was really dirty)
-"Oh you have Japanese magazines."
-"A Playboy bible!?"
Haruna and Haruka: -"Are you a player!?"
Me: -"I'm not a player."
Haruna: -"You take pretty much Purikura... Is that your girlfriend?"
Me: -"No, she's a friend."
-"PLAYER!"
Haruna: -"What's this?"
Me: -"A hat..."
Haruna: -"How much did it cost?"
Me: -"About 8000 Yen."
Haruna: -"Are you working now?"
Me: -"No I get money from the Swedish gouvernment". (Loans mostly)
Haruna: -"Ah like a scholarship."
"-I can't believe this is what you're using Sweden's money for!"
Then some of the people in the studio laugh so much that they almost fall of their chairs.
Here's a longer version of the TV-show I'm in with a part from the studio and more info about my guest house:
14,5% of every household with a TV in Japan watched this show. Feels crazy to think that more than 10 million people might have seen it.
It's been strange to be recognized in the streets and read people's comments about you in internet forums.
Thank you all so much for watching and recording this. I can't believe how nice everybody's been! ^^
