Kame took private English lessons back in 06/07 O_O

About and hour and a half ago I got back home from a lecture/presentation (or whatever I should call it) about Johnny's and Japanese Idol culture just about an hour ago. The one speaking was a Swedish journalist and MAJOR Johnny's fan called Marita Lindqvist. She spoke about Johnny's in general, not much I hadn't heard before. What got me, however was that she told us about some of the things she got to experience when she did a documentary about Johnny's years ago. One of the weirdest things that she experienced was sitting in and take part in one of Kame's weekly English lessons.

Apparently, Mary - Johnny's sister didn't want Kame to be any less than Jin. So when Jin went away to learn English in LA and she made Kame take English lessons in Japan. I had never heard about this before, not anywhere have I read about this taking place, so I was seriously surprised O_O 

Has anyone of you on my F-list heard about this before? I can’t think that I have missed something as major as this. I’ve read almost everything I can about Kame and I can’t imagine that if I ever read something like this that I forgot all about it.

Marita also said that Kame was very nice and polite. During the lesson he first started with reading a short essay that he had written in English about himself together with the teacher (who also was Marita’s interpreter) had worked on. And after that they practised speaking, and they spoke about all kinds of things like golf and Swedish athletes etc.

After the lesson Marita and her partner took a taxi with Kame to Shibuya and he helped them find a place that they were looking for. No one recognized Kame as they walked on the streets in broad daylight though XD

That's all I wanted to share with you and if anyone of you've read about this before, then please if you can, give me a link :)
