#TOKYO MEW MEW NEW VA Unit Members Check Their English Ability in New YouTube Series

As a special program for the summer vacation period, the official YouTube channel for the TOKYO MEW MEW NEW project has started streaming a new series “TOKYO MEW MEW NEW English!” The five members of its VA unit Smewthie are learning English for their future overseas activities.

In its first episode, they take simple tests to find out how good (or bad) their current English ability is. They have to translate their character names – Ichigo (strawberry), Mint, and Zakuro (pomegranate) – into English. Also, they have to translate short Japanese phrases and sentences into English, for example, “Ganbattane!” (Good job!, You did well!) and “Momoka wa Sono Anime ni Kandoushita” (Momoka was moved by that anime). Check out the video below to see who has the best English skills at the moment!

Smewthie members:

As part of the 20th-anniversary of the Tokyo Mew Mew manga created by Reiko Yoshida (story) and Mia Ikumi (arts), as well as the 65th-anniversary of Kodansha’s Nakayoshi shoujo magazine in which the manga was serialized, the new anime project was launched in April 2020. The new TV anime series TOKYO MEW MEW NEW is set to premiere in Japan sometime in 2022.
