Nobuhiko Takada’s English Speech

One of today’s most popular Japanese language clips on YouTube today: Pride mixed martial arts bossman Nobuhiko Takada gives a fantastic speech, in English!

I’m not really sure why it’s such a popular video. Is it because their English sucks? Can Japanese viewers pick up on the fact that they are struggling to speak English? Their English may be incredibly slow and flow badly, but they’re still pronouncing and speaking better than several licensed Japanese English teachers I’ve met.
