Oh man, that’s so funny!

I especially like the guy in front of the Lawson store, great acting talent. ^^

In the end, it’s a survival strategy. If someone attacks you and doesn’t hit you, just pretend that he did, so maybe he’ll stop if he’s convinced you’re dead. ;)

No, seriously, I think those people have lots of humor and I love it.

It’s a clever little psychological experiment. I think I’d probably react the same way if someone did that to me (in Japan).

i love the guy in front of the Lawson store too! Can’t believe he could react so immediately and fell on the ground! He made me laugh for a long time!

This is one of the many, many reasons why Japan is such a great country.

Yooooo at first I was thinking……who would act like that?? Maybe western culture just tends to mock anyone who acts strange.

I raise my hat to everyone who had a good sens of humour in Osaka, just another reason to move to Japan and take over the world :D
