Well, at least this type of hazing is safe compared to what some university fraternities and sororities do. ^^

I've heard of people being asked to justify their placement requests in interviews, so I'm trying to stick with places I can list some intelligent reasons for requesting.

To be honest, I wouldn't know what to say for either choices without coming across as shallow or petty or uninformative.
Hokkaido: I love winter weather, and this region of Japan is very beautiful in the winter. It is also known for its onsen, good seafood, and various winter activities. It's also not as hot during the summer compared to the other regions.
Tochigi: I know someone on the Tochigi BOE. Yep yep. That's my reason why I chose it. Aside from that, and hearing how nice Utsunomiya-shi was, it sounds like a nice place.
Saitama: Yep yep, it's my sister city. That's my only reason. (Humorous sarcasm) I'm almost guaranteed a spot there!! Relations are important!
Could you imagine telling the interviewers that stuff above if asked? ><;
Maybe I could just say it was a random choice, or if I get to the interviewing process, I can cross my fingers and just hope that they don't ask me about it at all.
