I loved it! But I couldn't figure out what they were saying at the end of each one... sounds like sweet tea or some such... Do you know what they were advertising?

They are saying "pitagora switch" in Japanese.

I think it was taken from a Greek philosopher Pythagoras.

I've seen it on a site a while ago Seems they have waaaaay too much free time ;P

Cute...and brilliant ! And you'll see them do stuff like this on the TV variety shows, using all kinds of things--especially for the dynamo effect.

You're good at finding interesting things there, Misa J. san !

Hi, Misa-san!

I'm a fan of Pitagora Suitchi, too! It's a 15-minute program for small children broadcast on NHK Educational, designed and planned for development of creative thinking.

Its uniqueness has also attracted a large adult following, and parts of the program have been posted on the web:

They also have a funny exercise called "Algorithm Taiso." It's very cute! The best was when they went to hospitals, fire stations and other places to make the people (doctors, nurses, firefighters, etc.) do the exercise with the duo!

Personally, I'd like to see PM Koizumi and DPJ leader Ozawa do it, too!
