Friday Videos: Exercise, Assault, and Breaking Up—the Japanese Way

Going with last week’s Japanese theme, this week’s Friday videos involve Japanese girls exercising their wrists while learning English phrases for breaking up.

The video on assault is even better.

Ennnn-joy.

If you search for “Zuiikin girls” on Youtube, you’ll find a fuckton of these, with an assortment of indispensable English phrases taught by Japanese girls in bitchin’ spandex and a mean twirly wrist workout.

You can thank me later.

    What. in the blue blazes was up with the “disguises” on the robbers? It looked like one guy got a pair on panties stuck on his head. I am in tears.

  2. Yvonne says:

    WTF.

  3. SB Sarah says:

    I love Japan. Oh my stars, I’m crying from laughter.

    I may do that if Hubby and I have a fight – start flexing my wrists and saying, “How dare you say such a think to me?!”

  4. kim says:

    Its your fault that this carpal tunnel syndrome happened.

  5. Kismet says:

    So……

    this leaves me wondering if they think we walk around talking like cheerleaders. Or if getting robbed by two men is an everyday occurrence for most of us?

  6. Suisan says:

    Hiding the bald spot is really the MOST important part of disguising one’s identity. I’m sure of it.

    Next up: he’ll have to tie a bandana around his right knee to disguise the limp.

  7. Gennita Low says:

    I can’t get over the smiles on their faces as they yell out “Take anything you want!”  These videos are almost (not quite) but almost as good as the Japanese game shows. 

    If you want to see an example of that, go to Youtube and search for Japanese game show girls meat lizard komodor.  This is one where they had a dozen girls with MEAT STRAPPED ON TOP OF THEIR HEADS running around in a cage with a lizard.  I love Japanese game shows.

  8. plaatsch says:

    it’s the cheerful smiles and cheerleader moves as they announce “I was robbed by two men” that get me.

    But what if you learn that handy phrase and then are robbed by one man? Or three?

  9. LiJuun says:

    Excuse me, waiter?  I’ll take a dish of corn with a double side of WTF.

    I really don’t understand Japanese television.

  10. Esri Rose says:

    WOW.

    I mean, wow. Why don’t we have stuff like that here?

  11. kambriel says:

    Thank you!  Thank you!  That made my morning!

    Pity they didn’t do, “Jackass, you have your bandana mask on backwards.”

    I love the Japanese guys in the first one dancing along with, “I can’t stand the sight of you.”

  12. Freezair says:

    Now I am going to wander around all day sporadically muttering, “You drive me crazy!—You drive me crazy—!” in a strange, methodical voice. Certainly, to those who only slighty know me, it will seem as if I have truly, finally snapped.

    Hasta la vista—baby!

  13. Marian says:

    I am delurking due to the sheer awesomeness of this post.  Thank you, my day is soo much better now.

  14. I can understand memorizing phrases in case you get robbed in a foreign country, but memorizing break-up lines? I would assume by that point I knew enough English to not have to break out my phrase book, much less quote Terminator.

    capcha: woman82.

  15. Jessica says:

    Another one delurking just to say that this was hilarious.  I just woke up my four-year-old with laughing.  When she asked what was so funny, I just shook my head, tears in my eyes, and said, ‘I have no idea’.

  16. Melissa Blue says:

    My word. But I have to point out they were in great shape. It sure beats the hell out of Taebo.

  17. Alison Stone says:

    I am convinced this is the video they show on the flight from Japan to some major city in the US.  As a foreign tourist you can never be too prepared.

    My favorite:  throw arms up over head and chant, “Spare me my life.  Spare me my life.”

    Thanks for the laugh.

  18. Bonnie Dee says:

    I got bored watching one so I watched both at once. That was even trippier. Some crazy shit there.

  19. Sophie says:

    No, no, no. This is the important video to watch.

  20. plainjane says:

    Oh my stars & garters!!  Damn you Bitches…I did do some searching on Youtube and ended up finding this:


    Just how much shorter could that guy’s shorts be?? I was really frightened that on the one move they were doing I was going to see more than I wanted to…

  21. plainjane says:

    And the best one yet…it reminds me of the Pepto Bismol commercials:


    I showed it to my 16 year old son who loves all things Japanese and now all he can say is “OHMYGOD!”

  22. belldandelion says:

    I understand the point of the backwards mask tied under the nose.  It’s a common stereotype item for peeping toms and perverts.

    All I could think of in the last video was George Castanza trying to conduct a robbery with a butter knife.  That had me busting a gut over here!

  23. Kaitou says:

    When I taught English in Japan I used the Macarena to teach the months of the year (the dance has 12 steps!).  Obviously I didn’t take the English through cracked out dancing far enough.
