I know this is late, and I’m sure a lot of you know this by now, but last year I was featured

I know this is late, and I’m sure a lot of you know this by now, but last year I was featured in an episode of Why Did You Come to Japan?. I went to Japan in February, 2020 for my 30th birthday, and the only thing I really had planned was to see the Cutie Honey Emotional stage play. The YOU crew approached me as I got off the plane. They interviewed me, thought I was interesting, and asked if I’d let them film me. I said yes, as long as they got me a birthday present. They agreed! And they got me a really cute Honey trainer! The crew was very nice and the overall experience of being a “reality TV star” was fun. They filmed me for three or four days, but only used about eight minutes worth of footage. They filmed me at Nakano Broadway and a couple of other places that they didn’t show in the episode. The director originally asked, “Why do you like Cutie Honey? Do you want a girlfriend like her?” and I went “Oh no, I’m gay”. This blew his mind. It was actually pretty funny. He kept asking me what type of man I liked, etc. Ordinarily I’d find this homophobic but it was actually kinda funny. The last day of filming he made sure to have a cute guy act as my interpreter. Hilarious. Everyone was very respectful and polite. They kept telling me how good my Japanese was (it isn’t). The one interpreter was amazed at how much I knew about old anime. Every time she mentioned a show from her childhood she couldn’t remember, I was able to guess it correctly. They tried to get me to do a few goofy things (like yell “HONEY FLASH!”) but I was too shy. I think they were disappointed at how boring I was. The coolest thing was that they brought me back stage to meet Kei Jonishi. She was extremely sweet and so pretty! Like an idiot, I forgot to ask for a photograph. The director later send me some screen caps of the footage he couldn’t use, but I had to promise not to show it on social media. I did get her autograph though: During the meet and greet I was told Go Nagai was coming the next day to see the play. I was kind of heartbroken and almost asked the crew if we could come back. Haha. Also if anyone knows where I can find an HD rip of my episode, I’d be eternally grateful. -- source link
