Takkyuu Geinin has put together this brilliant compilation of Japanese ping pong players performing some insane-looking and ridiculously difficult trick shots.

Not only is it hilarious but it also shows the exacting skill involved in this sport, while also showing how accuracy, reflexes, and sheer inventiveness go to make up a great trick shot.

In this 2006 documentary by Jake Clennel, the phenomenon of the Japanese host club is explored.

Common in the nightlife of Japan, both male and female hosts are interviewed to find out the appeal of these clubs and why the customers go there.

If you have no idea how to make a robot and your technical skills are non-existent, then Hebocon is the sumo-wrestling tournament for you.

The robots in this tournament come out nothing like what their builders initially imagined them to be, strategies made with careful planning only result in failure, and the entrants who enter the ring brag about their robot’s secret moves that don’t really exist.

When the Japanese learn English one group of words that don’t get covered too well are swear words.

So Brit abroad Chris Broad decides to help them out—armed with a copy of the book “The Correct Way to Use Fuck” he heads off to do his bit for Japanese society.

While most of the world is experiencing a rise in population, over in Japan quite the opposite could happen.

Japan’s population could shrink by a third in 40 years because they’re not having enough bambinos—and who’s to blame? Why, the nerds of course and their virtual girlfriends.

Well, this is the next 8 minutes of your life sorted, so if you were at a loss for what to do, look no further.

Everyone enjoys Japan’s sense of ridiculousness when it comes to game shows and everything else, so here it all is in a nice compilation.

If you ever wondered what the citizens of the Grid might do for a night out watching some musical theatre, then it might look something like this choreographed performance by Japanese dance collective Wrecking Orchestra.

It’s a feast for the eyes and after watching it you’ll be forgiven for wanting to scream with excitement, like the kids you can hear in the video.

The man whose waistline knows no bounds lays down some rhymes explaining the differences between American and Japanese cars.

If nothing else Clarkson should win some kind of award for that haircut, perhaps a bravery medal of some kind.
