Is the PokeBeach interview real

I remember hearing about it from Did You Know Pokemon video on Film Theory. I looked the interview up and I've got a few questions:

1: Why was PokeBeach choosen to conduct the interview with the Anime's director, wouldn't someone like IGN, Famitsu or Newtype have been a better choose. Its even weirders as PokeBeach prime focus is the TCG and all other interviews I could find are with pro tcg players.

2: Is it normal to have mutiple interpretors during an one on one interview, with them summarising what they said to each other.

3: Some of the comments made just felt strange, like the Anglo-Saxon comment, which is a weird was to describe a character, also the eye candy comment feels weird as the anime never goes down that direction. Are these possible mistranslations.

4: Are there any other surviving interviews from when Masamitsu Hidaka was at Anime Expo 2008.

5: There also doesn't seem to be visual evidence this happened. From the interview the author was allowed to record the interview. Is it normal practice to allow someone to record an interview but not allow for that recording to be posted?
