The following is an excerpt of an interview with Morisaki Win in which he talks about his new tv show, life experiences and his dreams in life.

Q: Why did you decide to be the host of the “Win's Shooow Time” variety show?

A: That programme will be my very first experience to get involved in a variety show and it will feature numerous interesting places of Myanmar and Japan as well. Moreover, beautiful culture, tradition and games will also be shown there.

Q: What can your viewers expect to see from your show “Win's Shooow Time”?

A: As it is a variety show, it will feature fun, comedy and dances, as well as songs and other forms of entertainment in it. It will be fun to watch.

Q: What are your experiences in participating in that program?

A: By participating in that show, I had a chance to learn new and more words from the Myanmar language. I also had great time and had wonderful experiences when I was shooting the programme. I felt that now, I’m more fluent in speaking Myanmar.

Q: I saw in your programme one game, our traditional version of what’s known as a “pillow fight”. Could you tell me your experience about that ?

A: That was a very exciting game for me. In that game, loser will fall down to the muddy grounds below but he won’t be hurt. So we could really go all out with beating each other with the pillow until the other one falls over. When I was playing that game, I really fought to win. There will be loads of funny moments video clips from that show. I was watching those video clips being edited in the studio and we all laughed a lot and had a wonderful time.

Q: Were there any difficult parts for you in that show?

A: To speak frankly, my main role is that of the host or the Master of ceremony (MC). Comedian Ah Rai and Rebecca Win helped me out with that show. When guests of the show came for the programme, sometimes, I knew nothing about them so I faced some difficulties.

Q: Were there any memorable moments for you while you were acting together with Ah Rai?

A: When he visits Japan or he is at home (Myanmar) he is the same person. He helps me a lot.

Q: What sort of messages about Japan can we expect from this programme?

A: There are many things in the programme. As most Japanese worship a form of Buddhism, I had also incorporated my own input on some knowledge on the worship practices and offerings to Buddha of the Japanese.

Q: Are there any messages you wish to convey to the audience via this show?

A: As it is a variety show, family members can enjoy the show while they are having a meal or any time at all. Whichever time of the day they are watching it, I am sure that they will have a wonderful time.  The viewers will be able to enjoy nostalgic games such as pillow fights or or climbing up the greasy pole. At the same time, the audience will be able to see numerous places of interest that Japan has to offer.

Q: Are there any places you wish to visit to shoot the show?

A: I really wanted to go to Bagan and make a shooting there. But I don’t know for sure whether the idea will take place.

Q: Could you tell me of one of your most recent goals?

A: As I was appointed as the travel ambassador, I wanted to travel from around Myanmar from the northern tip of the country to the southern tip.

Q: I saw that “Prizmax” band is helping out for the programme. What are they contributing to?

A: “Prizmax” band members are helping this programme to be more successful. They also did learn Myanmar language as well.

Q: Are there anything you would like to say to your fans?

A: I really love beautiful Myanmar names. I would like to request my Myanmar fans to write beautiful Myanmar names for me in my facebook account. Will you?

Q: You have said that you will be organizing a fan meeting.

A: I think that will take place sometime next year. Please wait a little.
