I dunno if it's a mistranslation, or what exactly... Hmm. BUT I'm sure she's being given the best education possible so maybe she -is- 6-year-old-fluent in English?
Gotta admit, I haven't watched the interview yet.

O.O
Holy shit THAT'S TSUNKU'S DAUGHTER?!?!?
I was wondering why in the videos they don't show her face.
That would explain it.
But if it REALLY IS...
That means the future of Tsunku is starting up already, his legacy!!!!!!

^^ I'm just saying, whoever is singing that song very much sounds like they speak English about as well as any six year old girl.

So watching the PV, I would argue how legit her pronunciation sounded at parts. But that interview!! :0

[Sohee]

Tsunku is very well aware of how important it is to be able to speak English and the way it helps with your singing in general - so I wouldn't be surprised if his kids attend and international school and has done so since nursery, so. I'm honestly not surprised lol

I wonder if she got training from UF. The most recent blog entries from Kobushi and Tsubaki talk about having regular English song lessons.

Is this real. I'm excited. I hope this is true! Tsunku's daughter may end up a future idol. Debut in H!P perhaps? Speaks fluent english?!?! What!? That would be amazing.

The rumor is that her name is Mizuho, reading backward ho-zu-mi, i.e. Hotzmic, and she has been going to an international school since kindergarten. She has a very good sense of rhythm and tune. Clearly, she inherited some of his traits.

It could just be a rumor still. Either way if Tsunku himself doesn't want to make any comment on it, than it's probably best to leave it be. She is appearing under an alias, her face has been shadowed, her identity isn't meant to be known.

She also did her interview in English with an interpreter it seems, so they are creating the image at least of a girl who can only speak English.

I say let her stay anonymous, she's only 6 years old.

Edit: And shame on the staff member who leaked it...
