2 interviewers, a Japanese and a local but the interview will be conducted in English.

If the japanese boss speak in english on job tasks, would it be awkward if i say "GANBARIMASU" a few times during the interview ?

No, I don't think that would be awkward. And since the job will be in Tokyo, it would probably be good to speak the Japanese you are comfortable with if the opportunity comes up. I wouldn't open with Japanese unless the Japanese boss speaks it first. Certainly your comfort with Japanese will come up, so let it happen naturally, or you might look like an over-enthusiastic show-off.
Again, be honest about your abilities. The last thing you want to have happen is be hired for a job you are unqualified for.
