aromenajla kindly explained what happened ↓ Thank you so much.
aromenajla:Okay, practising my Japanese. Part1: First there was just some basic introduction and picture time. Then at 3:38 Horikita Maki, one of the busiest, highest earning actresses in Japan, appeared as a special guest to officially welcome them. The MC (not seen here; the two ladies in the back are translators) was oohing and aahing over over how lovely she looked in her flowers and kimono. Continued---
At 4:31 Maki-chan said that she was big fan of One Direction; she watches the Up All Night Live Tour DVD at home and bought their Take Me Home Yearbook Edition. The MC was surprised to hear this and said that now that she gets to see them face to face, perhaps she would like to ask them some questions. At 5:21 Maki-chan then asked, what do they like about Japanese fans/girls. The boys then talked about how the pretty girls and their fashion sense.
The MC then asked what they think about Maki-chan's kimono and Liam said it was cool and he wanted to try on something like that. After that, picture time! Then at 8:43 the MC asked Maki-chan to say some words and she thanked them for coming to Japan. She said they have a lot of fans in Japan and wish them luck and hoped they enjoy their stay. Her language was super polite and sweet. The boys then said thanks (for the well-wishes) and thanks for the flowers too.
Maki-chan left, and then question time (for some reason Zayn wasn't here for this). At 10:27, the question is: So far are there any things about Japan that may make them want to return in the future. They then talked about the technology and Zayn's robot. At11:39 a woman said she's from FujiTV, the boys cheered (they've met before), and she asked if they've seen anything they thought was amazing since they arrive.
Liam talked about the view from their hotel room and how big Tokyo is. Then they talked about Louis going shopping, them talking about going to Disneyland but ending up playing football with robots instead, and they went karaokeing. At 13:37 the lady asked what songs they sang at the karaoke place and they mentioned JayZ, etc. The FujiTV lady then thanked them and ask them to please continue watching their shows.

The MC then asked for another question and at 15:15 a lady from a magazine asked them for their favourite phrase from one of their songs because the fans/readers would like to learn a bit of English from their songs. Harry then talked about the 'squeezing into your jeans' line and Liam thought it was sweet they were learning English from their songs talked about how they wanted to and tried and failed to learn some Japanese.
oham F:
I think the first question is: Are there anythings in Japan what they want to buy or take back to their home. And he said Zayn bought a robot. (In addition, Harry said he bought T-shirt printed "Tokyo" on Music Station
aromenajla:
You're right, my mistake! I thought I heard motto kaeritai, which was weird anyway. Thanks.
