I suddenly spoke to you girls right? - Yeah. - Did I surprise you?

You did. - But thank you for taking part in our interview.

So today we are asking have you as girl ever approached a boy?

You are not brave to approach boys? - Not at all. - Zero.

Can Japanese girls chat up boys? - I think it's

ok..... - I think it's ok. Very cool if they can.

You say it's cool but why can't you do it? - I want the boy to approach me!

You wish for him to make a move? - Yes - Why so?

I want the man to make the first move too.

Is there someone precious even you would try to approach?

sitting in the seat next to you. - I couldn't talk to them

Please think of your favourite celebrity. That person suddenly

If you don't talk to them within one week, they'll be out of reach again

so what will you do. - I think I would say "I like you" properly

Wow you can do it. - Well I thought of my favourite female celebrity.

If it was a man, I couldn't. But I could tell the women I admire

that I admire her. - Like "I am your fan" - Yeah

But you couldn't with a male celeb? - Never. - Why?

It's too embarrassing. - You're shy too. Well then

what will you do in that one week? - Try my best and ask him for his details

So Japanese girls want boys to come up to then

is there something to help with that? - Look into their eyes

Or try to show them I treat them with special treatment. - Do men

understand those hidden signs? - I don't think they do

What action do you do then? - Say "I only do this for you"

In Japan this might be a clear sign, abroad though

That doesn't exist. - It doesn't. - I have never seen it.

Boys dislike it. - Yeah boys are like that

it's bad for girls to approach men. - Girls have to wait for boys to come to them.

We have to wait. - True true - You have to

sit there like Yamato Nadeshiku er Nadeshiko and wait for ya man?

So if girls approach girls it looks bad on them? - In school it's ok.

Like confessing your feeling. - Yeah but chatting boys up is forbidden

Chatting up always comes from boys. - But then boys

generally chatting people up is a bad thing. - So chatting up is a no

but love confession is ok - Yeah. - Why? - Cause you know them

and you want to tell them how you feel. - First get to know each other

When you are friends its ok. - If you know each other its ok

If you have been friends it's ok to ask the boy to go out. - Yeah

That's ok. - But not to strangers. Did you ever want to

I wouldn't even think of doing that, even if I see a cool guy

Are there any celebrities you support right now?

Think that that person is working at your part time job for a week

It's not like he's a stranger and you will be working together. So in that one week

if you don't approach him, nothing will happen. What do you do? - Don't scare him off

- Try to get close without being too much

try it. - like how. - Follow his Instagram

or send a direct message. If that's not possible

I wouldn't want to be too persistent. - You think a lot about the other's situation.

I would feel bad for pestering him. He is famous and all.

Well... If I pushed my feelings on him...

he would be troubled by it. - He is busy after all! - Would feel sorry for him.

Just seeing him is fine. - You just look at him from afar?

Yeah that would make me happy. - Just having been able to work together is happiness

Wow admirable. You wouldn't try to appeal to him?

But only if its ok. - We are already luckier than the average fan.

That is more than enough. - How friendly of you

I heard girls can't chat up boys in Japan

How is it really? Or is it correct? Tell me

It's correct.  - Totally right. - Have you ever?

Never! - I can't talk to boys. - Approaching boys

is difficult. - It is. - Making a move is hard

but you can't go. So what would you have me do? - Dress flashy

And he might give me his attention? - Yeah!

Hard pass i guess. Many girls said there isn't a culture of boys going up to boys unless maybe in school

when you have a boy in school that you know. Even if you met your very

popular idol person that you admire in a kind of

familiar environment, many girls would still not go up to him because

they don't want to bother him. You don't wanna push your feelings too much on the other person and maybe

annoy or burden them with your feelings. Very interesting. So there is a lot of thought

put into the other person, considering the other person's feelings. Also what if he hates me if I do this

So there is a lot of ... holding back in a way.

So... I guess the boys have to be the first step. Seems to be a big thing here, also

many said boys don't like it when girls do the first step...

Alright... how are we gonna make this happen then guys? Because we have

already had in one of our former interviews... Japanese boys are getting more and more
