There's a funny story behind this one. A foreigner who works in the computer gaming industry in Japan put some fun subtitles to this one for a lark. It just exploded across the web and the company who had made the original video tracked him down. However, they were not pissed of but quite pleased that it had given their company such a high profile. In gratitude they offered him further translation work.

Ah, Japanese TV advertising. This is an example of a perfectly average ad in Japan - in this case to satisfy all your ablution needs.

This next one is an all time classic. Local males are lured into a fake spa (onsen) at a Japanese ski resort. The massage chairs are, however, not what they seem! If you don't want to watch the whole things you MUST see the last poor hapless soul.

Japan TV apologizes for "topless" New Year's Eve shock

TOKYO (Reuters) - A troupe of dancers in skin-colored body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologizing to viewers of its New Year's Eve music special for what seemed to be a full-scale Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction.

The dancers, who all appeared to be topless and wore skimpy bikini-style bottoms and feathered head-dresses, covered the stage during a performance by singer DJ OZMA, prompting about 250 viewers to phone in and complain.

"The dancers were wearing body suits, but we apologize for any misunderstanding," a presenter announced toward the end of the 57th annual "Red and White Song Contest".

"I guess it looked a bit too real," local media quoted the singer as telling reporters after the show, which regularly tops viewer ratings on New Year's Eve in Japan.
