Hannah is lying next to young Kyung Ho on the hospital bed, reading from a book for him. He corrects her at times because her Korean isn’t really the best even if it isn’t such a hard book to read. She often misreads the language, but Kyung Ho is just giggling next to her and correcting her like the little brother he is for her. Both of them are reminded of when they over a year ago were like this at the hospital, but their roles were switched as it was Kyung Ho who read for Hannah at that time. No one of them says anything about it though. Beside from reading and random talk, Kyung Ho has told her more about his acting plans. He seems determined that acting is what he wants to do in the future, and he told Hannah he wants to take acting classes at school – he turned down her offer to help him get a good teacher, but he asked her if she at times could help him if he needed it.

Kyung Ho likes that Hannah came even if she has a tough schedule. She is like a sister to him, even if they can’t meet much but they still stay in touch all the time, and a family he never had. It feels good that there is someone who worries about him, and actually asks how he is feeling and doing. After telling her about his future plans, he wanted to hug her when she said she can help him. Those words mean a lot to him.

But Hannah can’t stay for too long. She is going to Japan with her members for the yearly Golden Disk Awards that she couldn’t attend last year.

With a lollipop in , Hannah comes out from her room with her bag. She gets taken back when a camera is filming right in front of her and she quickly bows in a greeting before seeing it is the Swedish staff that has come. She changes to greet in Swedish and walks by the camera, dragging her bag with her to the hall with the camera following her.

“Where are you going?” the camera-woman asks.

“We are going to Japan,” Hannah answers when taking out the lollipop and she repeats Japan in Japanese, which is Nippon. She seems happy about it. “5 Pieces will attend a Korean award show, that this year will be held in Osaka, Japan.”

“我々は日本に行くの!” Emelia comes inside the hall with her own bag.

“That means ‘we are going to Japan’,” Hannah translates from the Japanese, smiling at the camera-woman.

“Are you good at Japanese?” the woman wonders. As she just recently started to film 5 Pieces, she doesn’t know much about them, and for the Swedish audience that knows even less, she asks a lot of questions.

“Hannah speaks Japanese just as well as Korean,” Emelia answers while focusing on putting something down in her bag. “She acted in a Japanese drama a while ago, so she learned Japanese at that time. But the whole group is learning Japanese.”

“Emelia is also good,” Hannah answers and the two girls looks at each other for just a second before Hannah looks back at the camera. “Back in … December; we released our first single in Japan. To be able to sing the song we have practiced a lot. Emelia is releasing her solo single there this year, so she is seriously learning.”

The woman seems impressed and Hannah nods when walking out from the camera’s sight. Hannah stays in the hall, she just goes to look for a hat she had thought of wearing when they are at the airport. Julia comes inside the hall too, saying that Maria is wondering if anyone knows where her cell phone ran off. Emelia tells the camera that Maria’s things are always “running away”, though they knows she just forgets where she put them or looses them somewhere. Maria comes out from her room and in a loud voice asks where it is. Hannah goes to help her look for it since she has found her hat already.

“Maria!” Hannah laughs and naturally starts to talk in Korean when saying she found it in the living-room. Emelia asks if she even had tried to look for it, but Maria just thanks Hannah for finding her beloved cell phone and disappears in her room to finish packing.

“Don’t you talk in Swedish to each other even if you are alone?” the woman wonders. It is her first time in the apartment, so she doesn’t know how the group has behaved without any staff of managers around them until now.

“When we first came to Korea, we didn’t know the language so we used Swedish to talk with each other. But to learn more Korean, we started to use Korean to communicate when we had learned that much,” Julia is the one who answers. The woman then asks if there are any differences in learning Korean and Japanese. “Compared to Swedish, they have a lot in common. Since we haven’t been that much in Japan yet, Korean has been easier for us to learn, but when we last month went to Japan we saw that we have a lot of Japanese fans … so we want to be able to communicate with our fans, which is why we are all learning the language.”

After that four of the five members are in the van, they drive off to the airport. They all explain for the camera that Carolina has radio, so she will come to Japan later. When arriving at the Korean airport, the girls walk together inside to wait to board the plane. Hannah and Maria both stands in front of the camera while waiting.

“I’m wearing this to promote our concert,” Maria says and shows the sweater she is wearing that is for the concert promotion. “Hannah didn’t want to wear it at the same time as me, but she did bring it with her.”

Hannah just smiles.

“When you are on the plane, is there something special you usually do?” the camera-woman wonders.

“Going to Japan doesn’t take long time, so for short flights we normally reads or watch a movie,” Maria answers with her arm around Hannah. “If I’m not reading, I normally just sleeps. Even if it’s for two hours, it is very comfortably to sleep on the plane.”

Hannah nods before they ask her the question, as she didn’t answer. “If it is a long flight, I often sleep. But otherwise I…”

“Hannah writes a lot,” Maria answers. “She sits either with her laptop or with a pad, and she writes with her fingers glowing! And while doing that she listens to music, so for everyone to take a note: when Hannah is like that, she gets pissed off if you disturb her. So my tip is to not disturb Hannah when she is writing and listening to music at the same time.”

Hannah laughs since she knows it is the truth. When they went to Europe not long ago, Hannah had been writing while listening to music on the plane and she really got angry when Julia asked if she wanted something to eat. For the next two hours, Hannah didn’t respond to anything. Maria laughs too when Hannah can’t stop laughing and the two girls keeps laughing for themselves. Hannah explains for the camera that she doesn’t like to get interrupted when focusing on something, but she also says that she often studies when she is on the way to Japan.

“Ah…!” Maria remembers.

“Since it isn’t a long flight from Korea to Japan, we often studies Japanese on the flight,” Hannah tells.

“The members say that Hannah’s Japanese is the best in 5 Pieces,” the woman says and while Hannah laughs, Maria totally agrees.

“Hannah says she has forgotten a lot of Japanese after not being in Japan that much, but she is really good,” Maria tells with an impressed voice and she tells Hannah to be quiet when Hannah says she isn’t that good.

“Then what is your tip to learn a language that is so different from your native language?”

“The best way to learn another language is to watch movies or dramas,” Maria is fast to answer and Hannah agrees and adds; “Unknowingly you will learn the popular words and phrases of that language. Songs are also a way to learn. In Korea, the word ‘love’ and ‘happiness’ is often heard in songs.”

“For us, we used to watch a lot of dramas, both Korean and Japanese. Now, we don’t watch much because we don’t have much time,” Maria answers the next question. “There are times when we gather the whole group to watch a movie, but for some reason it is always someone falling asleep…”

“Who falls asleep most of the time?” the woman asks. Maria and Hannah looks at each other, both wondering who it is before answering that it often depends on how their schedule have been like during the day. Since it was a while since they saw a movie together, they don’t really know who falls asleep the most during a movie.

After that talking, the only thing Hannah does for the camera that she is aware of is to wave with her v-signed fingers when heading to board the plane. She is otherwise caught by the camera when playing around with Emelia.

The camera-team for the Swedish program that follows 5 Pieces to Japan gets a big shock when the plane lands and 5 Pieces comes out on the Japanese airport. The airport is crowded with fans shouting loudly that even the police are there to 5 Pieces safely to a van that is on its way. While waiting for the van, with some police keeping fans on a distance, the camera catches Hannah coming a minute later than the others. The camera-woman asks what she is holding in her hand, as she wasn’t holding it when they went through the airport doors.

“A fan gave it to me,” Hannah smiles brightly.

The girls go to a restaurant to eat before they are sent to the hotel. The filming had stopped for the day at the airport, and the girls are comfortably getting in their rooms. Carolina come late, sharing room with Maria and Hannah. The girls don’t go to bed early, but about an hour after Carolina came – after midnight – they go to sleep.

5P_PRINCESS: Good morning world~ A picture of the adorable newly woken roommates of mine, we’re in Japan~

5 Pieces eats breakfast together in one room while at the same time getting ready for the day. Maria had uploaded a picture of herself, Hannah and Carolina from when they just had woken up in the morning. They had looked really adorable in the picture, they all agree on it. While eating breakfast they also get dressed and get their hair and make-up ready by Mi Young, so it’s pretty loud in the hotel room.

It is something with Japan that just makes Hannah happy. She is always standing out in the group when they come there, and everything just feels familiar for her. The people are really nice, and even if it is Korea she always is in it feels different to come to Japan. Maybe it’s because she has gotten so comfortable in Korea, like that is her current home, so coming to Japan where she is just as warmly welcomed as when she goes to Korea feels really good. Even after breakfast when they go down to the lobby for an interview, they are some fans waiting for them. The Swedish camera staff is with them to film a little and when Hannah is talking to a fan, Carolina tells the camera that she envies Hannah who can freely communicate with the Japanese fans without having this language barrier between them. When doing a Japanese interview, it is also Hannah who talks the most.

“In Korea, I don’t talk much during interviews,” Hannah reveals to the camera when they are heading back to their rooms after the interview. “So all the members agreed on that instead we talk in Korean for them to translate, they let me talk in Japanese when the interview is short.”

They go back to their rooms for barely a few minutes when they are leaving again. This time they are going for the rehearsals for the Golden Disk Awards. Backstage they greet both the Japanese staff and the Korean artists, so it is a complete mix of two languages that even makes the girls a little confused.

Backstage is always fun if there are fun artists to talk with. The girls keep talking to MBLAQ and B2ST, and they are always having fun around Super Junior, f(x) and SNSD.

Maybe it’s because of the concert they had in the weekend, but the girls can’t really seem to realise that it is an award show. They are still excited from the concert – it’s true, they have dreamed of having a concert and now when they have had the first one they are just excited to have the next concert. Another thing they are interested in is the fans reaction on the full music video of [Switch] that was released today. While sitting in their room, the girls’ reads out comments on the music video uploaded on YouTube. MBLAQ’s Mir comes in and out all the time for some reason, so when they are reading out the comments he is sitting and nodding next to them. The music video looks really cool; it’s simple, but still cool. The comments makes the girls feel good too.

- “5 Pieces will make their comeback! This is 5P, not the cute image from last year (though they rocked that too) but this is soo cool!”

- “That dance will definitely be a hit! I’m already dancing *switch, switch*”

- “It’s not their best song, but it is very addictive and they look HOT in the mv.”

- “SM knows that 5P is cute backstage, but for their music this is definitely Pieces Style ;) Does anyone know if they will make a comeback performance this week or next week?”

- “When I heard this song the first time, I didn’t like it. But it is a song that grows on you; after repeating it 100 times today, I will keep repeating it 100 times more before I go to bed… 5P FIGHTING!”

- “I want dance version of this… 5P looks awesome btw!”
