Check out “Japan – Rewound!“, a fun video created by Our man in Abiko:

Our Man just paid off 20,000 passing Japanese to walk backwards. Pretty nifty huh?

No, no, I don’t think so. I’ve studied the video again, and there’s definitely something else going on there. Did you not notice how she actually gets younger as the video progresses? Look again.

apparently not all of the people wanted to participate. One man in an orange backpack was walking correctly. he’ll be on the left side of the vid at 1:29

Thanks for the link, James. There will be a bloopers vid sometime (maybe next Monday) in which you may be able to see the car crashes from folk not used to reversing at speed and Shibuyans upset when they realise they have been paid in near worthless pounds.

no, she’s not walking backwards. You can tell from the moving sidewalk scene where she’s standing perfectly still but everyone’s still walking backwards. (Also, if you pay close attention to how the people are walking, they’re a bit off-balance since they’re walking backwards)

So there’s your pudding, and the proof is in it.
