Wow. That's Morning Musume, Japan's version of the Spice Girls, who have their own weekly TV show. Apparently they have so little going on that they can face off with a giant lizard. (Maybe they're masochists--they also faced off with Bob Sapp.)
Speaking of which, they apparently like to sneak up on people and force them to speak English, like this choice clip:
Girl 1: Where is the restroom?
Girl 2: I go to elevator.
Girl 1 starts pantomiming either that she's about to puke or that she really needs to pee.
The great thing about this is it reminds me of my first day of Japanese class in sixth grade, when our teacher was teaching us how to ask if we could go to the bathroom:
It's toire wa ii desu ka, which literally means, "Toilet: is it OK?" But that's hard to learn so for the first week just toire will be enough. Or for the first day you can just do this: (points to sign reading "toire wa ii desuka" and jumps up and down holding her gut)
Fortunately, we did have one kid who did exactly that the first day.
