One of the entries in the Hetalia LJ community got featured on a Japanese TV show

[gilblitz112.livejournal.com]

The entry "Hetalia: Nationalistic pride?" by user "kawaiihoto" (as well as its many replies) was featured on a segment of an episode of the Japanese TV show "MAG・ネット" (Japanese for "MAG・NET") based on "Hetalia: Axis Powers". It aired June 20th, 2010. The segment also included interviews of two Hetalia fans- one from Italy and one from U.S.A.

English translation of the segment (by yours truly): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeeuw9bE_Cg

Is this crazy or what?!

(Also, this is one of the few previews I uploaded for a project I'm working on. Would anyone like to help me on translating the episode?)

Thanks,

Oh wow, I remember this! Thanks for subbing!

There was a discussion on it back on this thread http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/7762797.html (took me a bit to find it again) if there's anything insightful in that. Unfortunately the images no longer function orz
