This man has attached electrodes to his face which make his muscles twitch in time to the music.

Stupid Tug of War

Diverse Divers

It's hypnotic.

Owl Transformer

Best name ever for an owl: Lalachusa.

Ninja Cat

Just posting a bunch of videos that I didn't make or even upload is still blogging, I swear.

Some guy from Sapporo using the batting cages. I'm actually getting quite decent myself with my foam 'chucks.

Japanese Wrestling Demolition Crew

Mogul Skiing

Human Tetris

Twister

A terrible punishment for saying a tongue twister wrongly.

Bearings

Some more from Pythagoras Switch, a kids show in Japan.




I used to love the similar ball bearing tracks they had on Sesame Street, with the counting and stuff. You know what I mean.

I think these are the results of competitions held for high school students. There's a book you can buy too, with some instructions and ideas.

Sydney

Well, we're in Sydney at the moment, packing up the house and getting ready to invade Japan for another six months. Sorry for the drop off in posts, but this is a Japan blog, not a sitting in my backyard blog.

To make it up to you I may post some off topic or Japan related, but our family unrelated materials. Like this.



Regular scheduling will resume after the 21st of August.

The Algorithm March, with Ninjas!

From a Japanese kids show called Pythagoras Switch (Pitagora Suichi).
