Tamura Yukari, however, says that when they offered her Moetan, she said she couldn't speak English at all, but they said it didn't matter. Yet her pronunciation there is pretty decent. I'm hoping Aya is mainly playing it in character, for laughs. But I doubt it.

By the way, big thanks to AVPlaya for the translation.
According to her panel at AX, she was in the US until she was 3. She can speak some english (intonations are better than most) and definitely understands some english said at her.
