You might recall last summer I wrote about how the Acolyte is addicted to a Japanese kid's show called Inai Inai Baa! Well, he still is, and these days he's copying a lot more of the dances. We record it every morning and watch it in the evening as part of our standard post-dinner, pre-bath ritual.
The thing is, the show starts at 10:15 in the morning, and because of the screwy way a lot of the TV Japan shows are listed in the directory, we're forced to set the recording timer at 10:00. At first I thought it was a pain having to fast-forward through 15 minutes worth of Non-Inai Inai Baa! programming to get to the show. But a few weeks back I realized that the show just before Inai Inai is actually pretty entertaining.
It's called Pythagoras Switch and it targets slightly older kids. One of my favorite sequences in the show is called the Algorithm March. I was thrilled yesterday when I discovered that it had been posted on YouTube. Trust me, you'll want to check this out:
The march has many different versions, it's not ninjas all the time. It's been shot with a crew of firemen, a soccer team and all sorts of other characters.
It appears I'm not the only one who appreciates the march either....
Haha! That's awesome! At first I was thinking "Ministry of Silly Walks". Then I was thinking, that's quite a long sequence for a kid to remember. When it all came together with the Ninjas, I was smiling.
Have you seen those inmates do "Thriller"? I wonder what the recidivism rate is coming out of that institution.
