Ushi Hirosaki interviews Will.i.am (2012)

Ushi & The Family (December 1, 2012) - Will.i.am
The Netherlands, RTL4
Ushi Hirosaki is a Japanese interviewer working for Tokyo Broadcasting..
Well, actually...no, she's not!
Ushi was portrayed by Dutch TV Host/Actress Wendy van Dijk.
After fooling Dutch celebrities for a few years (since 1999) with her bad English and awkward questions it was time to go global.
Together with her partner Hiromi Tojo they've 'interviewed' many celebs over the years. Many of them can already be found on KZbin.
*Edit August 9, 2020
I've received several requests for more videos.
Unfortunately I don't have any more.
So i've compiled a list of names with people who were interviewed by Ushi (from 1999 up to 2012) to help you search for the interviews on KZbin.
(I probably missed a few from the first years, but they were mainly Dutch personalities at first, though).

Finally someone fulfils the sterotype of a famour person... snobbish, rude, impatient, no chill, complete lack of humour. Never been fussed on him and now I know why. All the other celebrities in this position (at least the ones I've watched so far) were so much nicer and polite.

[@ykMMD]

Why should he be nice to a woman who's main joke and career is centered around "ha ha asian speak funny bad english." It's so fucking cringe. At least she didn't show up in her fat black woman costume...

[@blakedavies1992]

@Yules Why is a white guy spending so much of his time defending a shitty racist caricature of asian people? Ha ha asian talk funny bad english ha ha. Wow, what a joke. I'd rather be a sjw calling her out than going out of my way to tolerate and defend racism. Also, how can you pretend to speak on behalf of all Asian people? Now I'm sure all of your black friends will just LOVE her fat blackface woman suit. Very humor 10/10.
