Okay well I give short version.

So first he said that it felt nicer than he thought to win the tournament, especially since it was home territory for him. He lives and is raised only an hour away from Mölmö. About the King in the north Naniwa said he doesn't like to be compared to Thorzain because he considered himself superior a player. Although he said he realized the comparison because his emotional slumps makes them look closer than they really are.

They then asked if anyone could stop him in the SM-final, to which he said it might happen but he thinks he has the highest potential of all players in Sweden as long as he trains well and keeps his emotions in check.

Naniwa then talked about his play style and way of tactical thinking. He wants to have a specific plan already set for every possible situation and how it has several steps of planing depending on different scenarios, so in general it is based on mass experience and memory. As well as actually coming up with solutions of course.

They finally talked briefly about DH Stockholm and Naniwa said he winning a DH was one of his big goals this year.

Interviewer asks if he is the King in the North 2013, Naniwa replies that he doesn't like to be compared to Thorzain because, skill wise, he is much better than Thorzain. He also talks about how he is handling his personal issues that have been hampering him lately and sees that as his biggest weakness, ie,. his emotional instability can cost him games.

Naniwa rolled through that. The stream was kind of nice. Maddelisk is pretty and pretty good at casting and the co-caster wasn't that bad but I wish they would tone down the Swenglish. But congratulations to Nani for winning.

Short recap:
He said that he was a little worried going up vs Runan in the finals, as Runan beat Starnan, which is a pretty good player according to Naniwa. He felt more relieved winning the qualifier than he thought he would.

He said something about the "mass gaming" he does is what makes him best in Sweden (in his opinion), for instance, in game 1 he saw by the number of phoenixes Runan made that he could hit a timing and kill him, but that Runan possibly could've defended if he held his mothership core alive. Essentially, in the post game interview he appeared to have superior knowledge about timings, builds etc and hence could react with ease and win the game that way.

Fun to note is that Naniwa was much more humble in the post game interview; he said something about the cockiness before the game was partially about psyching his opponent, "mindgames", but that those kind of mind games sometimes backfires and affects himself more than they affect the opponent. He was also happy that he won the qualifier in Malmö, since that's close to where he lives; he found it "fittingly".

Finally he said that he's set aims for himself for 2013, and one of those is to win a dreamhack.

Well, Naniwa constantly say he is a superior player. Thorzain defeated him in the TSL3 final and most recently in DH summer. Also there was the TL attack of Thorzain were Naniwa was making fun of Thorzain for 1,5 hours straight so... Also many considered Thorzain the best foreign Terran and many consider Naniwa the best foreign protoss and as they are from the same country is the question of who is the best player in Sweden reoccurring. Although I think Sortof, Morrow and Sase could be mention in there as well.

So many translations, thats why I posted: "I make a short translation" before I translated. With the idea to avoid us getting 10 of them, seems no one got that part though. Well I guess it becomes more correct and covering in this way ^.^

Just witnessed Nani's victory live on site ^^ Wanted to chat and give praise after the finals, but decided against it given the exclamations of fatigue from the pre-finals interview.

It sure ended up being a quick win like Nani wanted. The results manager turned to me after set 1 of the finals and asked who won the game. "It went too fast" he said =P

It was really nice to briefly wish Naniwa good luck on site. I feel star struck ; ) But yeah, Naniwa pretty much blew everyone out of the water in that qualifier. It was awesome.

Don't know if this has been posted here but:

För Aftonbladet berättar ”Naniwa” också att han nu har klart med en ny klubbadress. Däremot vill han en vänta en vecka eller två innan han offentliggör vilket lag det rör sig om.

Translation:

Naniwa also reveals to Aftonbladet (the paper) that he signed with a new team. Although, he wants to wait a week or two before he announces which team it is.

So psyched to see naniwa in a team again :D

They said in the closing words that the VODs would be up on Monday. I guess they put them up somewhere on "aftonbladet.se...../nojesbladet" or something along those lines. If you are not Swedish you probably going need some help to find it.
