Speaking a different language with a stranger and speaking it with someone you know is very different. With a friend or husband, you'll know what speech style to expect. You're used to their pronunciation. Her husband will probably also know what level she's at, and alter his English to it, subconsciously even.
I'm proud she has the guts to take on English interviews. Japanese and English are nothing alike. Aside from a few loanwords, there's nothing to build on. Comparing it to English and German is unfair.

I agreed with you, as my husband is Englishman but he never talk to me in proper Brits accent (even thou is not difficult to catch). Hehe but I "spoiled" him with my Malaysian-English, haha!
