This girl is getting Hillary-ous with these increasingly complex English lessons:

What's next? Translating a Shakespeare sonnet? An Eric B. & Rakim album? The entire Bolo Santosi script from Just Cause 2?

^ Who is this and what the hell is up with her voice? Lol I know that when certain people speak different languages their voices may change a bit but she is ridiculous. Was she born and raised in Japan? Because even if the phrases she recites in the two videos I've seen are the only thing she knows, her English skills are quite impressive. Her pronunciation is excellent, which I'm sure was so small feat for her.

That's Rina Hirata, AKA "Hillary", currently a Research Student for AKB. She's listed as being from Fukuoka but I've read elsewhere that she's actually from Arizona, hence the English proficiency. And yeah, her Japanese voice (and the fact that it changes so drastically in English) is definitely something.

Just to confirm, yeah she is from Arizona. When they came to DC she said that's the reason why she can speak well in English.

It's so weird because I know someone who kind of looks and sounds like her(in English of course).
I thought that was creepy
