Double checked through the archives, and I guess I'm proud to say that my first de-lurking post will be linking to a video never posted here before. Woo-hoo!
I don't speak Japanese (hope someone on TMF can translate), but this TV show is a weird mix of "let's learn about the human body" / "celebrity guest stars" / "game show Q&A". I saw another segment in a sushi place with int'l satellite once, where the running theme was "the human heart."
This one's all about tickling 😉
Enjoy.

PS. There's a link there to download in .flv format. If anyone has the time/software to convert to wmv for posterity, this one's a classic.

Thanks guys- I appreciate it. I feel like Super Grover who hears trouble a-brewing across town and flies to the rescue. I apologize, as I've been hoarding Japanese clips for months without posting them. I was aware of this clip, and I believe that's all there is to it. I am wholly unfamiliar with shows in Japan, but it seems to that some of these same participants around that round table have appeared in other clips that have born fruit. At any rate, I will attempt to provide a general translation up until the talk-show committee meeting at the end. You guys sure don't pick the easy ones to translate
