Algorithm March…with Ninja!
Hopefully this video will make up for my lack of posting lately–school is coming to an end and of course all papers are magically due at the same time.
Anyway, this is the Algorithm March, which is featured as part of children’s programming in the morning on Japanese TV. Basically they show you how to do an interactive dance and song, and then incorporate with a lot of people. I think it’s a great way to entice kids to exercise, to practice these dances and try to get them right. They are also amazing to see because the performers are usually in business suits and have completely serious expressions–it’s always fun to watch grown ups doing funny things.
Now you understand why it is hard for me to teach Japanese children through American kids’ shows, because they are just not this cool.

Yes! Finally someone else knows about this! My mates and I used to watch this all the time in-between classes at Uni, I can still remember John nearly killing his computer in frustration of it not properly reading the disc he was trying to transfer the video onto haha.
It’s amazing isn’t it? I wish we had shows like that when we were kids.

Haha, I love this little march. That plus the Pythagoras switch makes it worth watching boring ol’ NHK (I kid–I always find myself inadvertently watching one of NHK many quality programs)
