[jack010387]

regardless shes been raised in the US she can still speak Japanese perfectly and fluently!!! wowwwww love her !!! =D

[eworque]

This show is about Marie or the DJ??

[sabelinaJ]

It's funny how they combined Japanese and English together when they talked haha :P

Cute

[moonlightflit2008]

This DJ speaks too much. Who is the main?

[yellowkiwi8]

shes using a hummingbird omfg.

[GetnFunky]

Nanda-yo!

[Jetthunder23]

I love her, it's so sexy when she speaks Japanese. probably one of the prettiest women walking this planet nowadays. but also for her nice soft voice. you go girl!

[namatez]

its weird how they switch from japanese and english, i know a little japanese but they are going so fast.

[syliastingray24]

@namatez It's called code-switching in linguistic parlance. In some cultures this is pretty common (in my culture we code-switch to English and back to the vernacular all the time).

[AhmadChisum]

The easiest way to learn Japanese. Many samples and lessons, check the video out - youtube.com/watch?v=wfseANZtMN­g

[NomNomChew]

i knew she looked alittle asian, im not sure if shes part but i always felt she was part some asian ethincy :O

[denaye02]

I love that Marie is fluent!! that is awesome!!

[bakamund]

The Japanese DJ speaks english well.

[JigglehWiggleh]

[snoochieboochiies]

waaaaa....kawaiiiiii!!!

[Seppinho83]

watching this video makes me realize again how bad my japanese skills are... till now ;)

but it seems to be paradox: most of her message at the end of the video is understandable for me ;)

[MehganFox]

@Seppinho83

is her japanese considered "bad"? lol

[Seppinho83]

@MehganFox : NO, MY Japanese is the bad thing ;)

[yasumi07]

My Princess Marie'

[tomaf]

it seems like it takes 5 times longer to say something in japanese than in english

[OrengeeEshee]

wow i can totally understand that! perfect... XD

[karazakaton]

lol the traslation says lincoln park

[kathprice]

wow... I've started listening to her so recently and never realised she speaks Japanese. that's awesome =)

[bbsmalls]

if you didn't know already reason she speaks is cause her mom is japanese.

[hoptop77]

did she say mont asshole

[DottyDaughter]

Mount Aso

[boogeymanfromhell]

I love it when she talks Japanese! :)

[ermonski]

damn the transitions between english and japanese is slick! awesome

[eric632]

wow i just realized japanese sounds pretty cool o.o

[gorgeousBLAIR]

shes so cute :)

[MrDefaulto]

I thought the shinkansen was all reserved seating, it was in the car I was in....

I hear a lot of DJs mixing up jap and english when they talk about songs... seems common? At least on stations that play american music.

Big question though.. her music isn't all that original, she did so many covers, maybe it's just her looks that people are loving?

If she was average or ugly would anyone care?

[clairebearrrr]

How is anyone meant to make "original" music? Everything has been done before....

Of course there are people who only care about her looks - but her albums and live shows are selling well so obviously people care about her music. Me being one of those people.

[recentlysexy]

nice question and answer, god bless, more power

[MrMountainshore]

I love how the host is mixing up Jap and English and carry on talking and talking sooo speedy!! (I'm Japanese but this is rare :D )

[MelZSquash]

Haha, yea, i find it so cool! The interviewer's english is so good, but what's even cooler is how sometimes the interviewer asks something in english and marie answers in japanese, or vice versa. And everything's so fluent~ :D

[MrMountainshore]

Hehehe Yep :D

[wandagalava]

i love you baby.. can't wait you visiting me here in the philippines...

[mae80808]

gosh she soooooooooooo cute! so pretty!!! when she talks japanese, she cant be mistaken as american... or having english as her mother tongue!!! soooooooooo talented!!!

[lalajoanna]

haha you're referring to the host? I mean, the host speaks better japanese AND english than Marie to be frank. But Marie's very pretty of course!

[ixohoxi]

pretty good host.

[LadyYuina]

Wow, the host talks so fast. O_o But it is normal for them though. XD Learned from my Japanese teacher that if I tried to talk slowly in Japanese, they'd most likely not understand me. ^^;

[swimmingviolinist]

wow...has she got everything memorized or can she really speak japanese?

please don't be offended by this.

[nhanhie13]

she really can speak japanese very well... she is half japanese and half irish...

[bren5209]

man the interviewer talk super fast!!!

[ageoflo]

LOL, I am more interested in the interviewer than Marie Digby at this moment, because the interviewer is good~ Both her English and Japanese are so fluent~

[KeongEmas]

This is random but ... the host is really pro at translating... I speak my native language fluently but I don't think I can translate as fast as she can lol

[bigdaddyquey]

my jaw has dropped down

[apache0208]

i like radio stuff

[babygee22]

ive been in mt.ASO too..:)

never thought shes from kumamoto,

[JustFlydream]

Hahaha CUTEEEE (L)

[xoxlollypop]

japanese sounds so nice~

i like the sound of it more than mandarin..but maybe that's cause i hear chinese 24/7 haha~ ^^"

[aljaser]

Marie is half Irish and half Japanese..

[charlie7261]

they both speak japanese and english at the same time. the way they speak sounds very funny and cute!

[Vixen416]

this makes me like her a lot more now. not like other kids who said their italian but don't speak a word of italian :P

[omomom100]

she look like a japan girl!!

[jessa215]

[lilsis]

[lordofsage]

[juzintown]

ano-ne...you can read the translation (japanese > english) in the description...Kumamoto Perfecture-ka....iki tai !!

[BreakTubes]

She´s the most beautiful thing i´ve ever seen, gosh!

[juliateddy]

WTM?

Thing??

[Serenity09T]

LOL omg whats with the japaglish, jejejeje u are right its soooo confusing!

[o0blueberrysky0o]

why are they speaking in both languages?

its confusing

[060stone403]

Usually this show has foreign guests and the interviewer talks with them in English and translate into Japanese right there. But Marie can speak Japanese somehow, so it became like that.lol

[Netkhmer]

i have not idea some parts of the conversation but i still enjoy watching her.

[canuniXNA]

me too

[hilavrilll]

My mom is Japanese and she came here in her 20s. I think I got lucky because a lot of half kids don't speak both languages, but I do. My dad made a decision to teach us Japanese as a first language when we were little. I didn't learn English till I was four.

Interview by David C. Lee

Asiance Magazine

[vanessanjohnny4ever]

HAHA! Wow, I have such a headache now. =P Now I know how my English-speaking American friends feel when I speak Spanglish with other Hispanics around them. lol. I feel really bad now. ;-D Oh well maybe it will spark their interest in foreign languages like this video has sparked mine. Time to learn yet another language(already learning French, Italian and Portuguese b/c of my all over the place roots haha). =D

[TheVfBMarv]

Is it me or does she look A little bit more japanese without make-up! By the way I think she allways looks very cute!

[fangfy]

She had make up on. Mascara and all. But who cares. She is pretty all the same. (:

[TheVfBMarv]

You're right, she allways looks very cute and amazing! I'm not that familiar with that whole Cosmetic-thing, so sorry about that.

[titiwzki]

actually she's half japanese/irish-american..

her mother is japanese and her father is irish-american...^_^

[mycatislazy]

She could speak japanese?

[tadzandmhe]

yes b'coz she's half japanese/american

she really sounds much good in japanese =)

actually her voice is like an angel..

[chelez17]

she is so pretty with or without make up. she seems like a kind person.

[blearghp]

she sounds much better in japanese

[Shania828]

Hahahaha this broadcast is so freaking funny in terms of mixing the language so so much in no logical order. I understand both fluently, but it makes my both sides of my brain work hard!

[Badel888]

[mar1712]

[drag0nooo3]

[chelez17]

[Enterthehaven]

[mongalito]

やっぱスラスラと英語も日本語も混ぜながら話せるらしい ＞ｗ＜

[jonamation247]

[juguete14]

[m0byby12]

you know its reaLLY HARD to understand if the translation is at the rightwhile the video is at left... really annoying...Didn't saythe language was but why didnt u put it invideo...

[gxcad]

ellegirls is right...for me it takes about 6 to 8 mins to translate 1 min of video, plus the muxing or encoding or whatever its called to make the final video...8 mins times 8 mins plus encoding...you do the math. Its at least 2 hours of work. And for what...?

[rosie096]

really funny xD sometimes english, sometimes japanese xD

[gxcad]

Me and my friends like to call it "japlish" or "japanglish".

[PhaseCydrome]

I like it an interview where the interviewer talked more the the person they were interviewing...

[raincoathaveli]

I didnt know marie could speak japanese thats cool. Does she speak sluently without an accent?

[gxcad]

Its very good, she could pass as fluent but occasionally you can detect something. But she could easily improve it to fully fluent quality shes very close.

[dannacute]

amazing!.....versatile singer-song writer

[Rennado]

kawai

[artc27]

even though i can't understand it i love hearing japanese people speak more than any language! :P
