This should probably be over in the Tidbits section, but…a real-time clock featuring Japanese girls doing synchronized dance movements to a jazz riff on Lerner & Loewe? Come on! How insanely cool is that?

I think they’re selling polo shirts, but, as I always say, do you really need an excuse for Japanese girls doing synchronized dance movements to a jazz riff on Lerner & Loewe?

Is there a 24-hour cable channel in Japan with this sort of thing? You know: All Japanese Girls Doing Synchronized Dance Movements To A Jazz Riff On Lerner & Loewe…All The Time?

If not, there should be.

[Note: I’ve turned the sound off by default so you aren’t driven insane by the constant ticking, so be sure to click on the small speaker icon in the lower right for the full effect. Also, you can click on the movie or visit the UNIQLOCK site for a full-screen version.]

    How long does this thing go on, anyway?

    I think that this video could prove dangerous for the already-near-catatonic, like myself. I can just see myself sitting in front of the monitor, mouth half-open, still watching this 3 1/2 hours after I first started.

    Same thing used to happen to me when I’d watch “Fashiontrance” on the Style network early, early in the mornings…

    Chelsea: It goes on forever! That’s the beauty of it! But, wait…there’s more! It looks like there are different extended dance sequences every hour on the hour! And I can’t stop using exclamation points!

    Jenny: The ticking of the clock is especially effective at inducing a trance-like state. If they start flashing subliminal messages I may be powerless to resist.

    chronicler: Iā??m simply an ardent supporter of the dance arts. That’s all!

    Also, someone pointed out that this isn’t my first post about Japanese dancing girls.
