I had the chance to interview Tetsuro Miyazaki, who is the author of this book, Hāfu2Hāfu. I found his project so interesting, because he interviewed hāfu's around the world, trying to get an interview with each combination of hafu you can get, from Japanese-American, to Japanese-Belgian, to Japanese-Tunisian. All in all he interviewed 120 people. You can check out all the interviews and the questions at I FORGOT TO MENTION and sorry for shouting. You can actually answer the questions yourself on his site. When you go the interviewee's profiles and questions, you'll have the chance to respond.
I interviewed Tetsuro as part of my documentary about "Being Japanese". You can find out all about it at
