I posted about this a couple of days ago and couldn't resist putting up another clip.
I've since found out that these come from a Fuji TV program called Zuiikin English. To quote from its webpage:
Program just according to title, those which adjust gymnastics to the English conversation. Each time with beginning, this English conversation will be made to remember to explanation and that muscle of the muscle which is forged in the time! With program keeps advancing under the concept which is said. First, there is a dramatic sketch of the kind of situation which uses the English conversation, image stops at the place where that conversation is made. Suddenly, ZUIIKIN GALS 3 of the leotard form appearing the oral [zu] while seeing, in the set like certain bureau gymnastics program, the English conversation vigor it repeats the gymnastics which it adjusts to tempo well. Just, you say that the nature and the English conversation are attached to the body in the movement and simultaneous, it is the program which should curve. As for the muscle which 1st is forged by the way with time thigh direct muscle.
Er, rather, to quote from the Google translation of the webpage. In any event it was (the program doesn't seem to be broadcast anymore) a whimisical way of teaching English. Here's a more contextual view of how it worked. (The ridiculous guy with the handkerchief on his head is apparently a "dorobo," a subspecies of Japanese criminal. Probably a very unsuccessful breed, at least as far as disguises go.)
Who knows? Maybe this fusion of kinesis and language serves as a useful aide-mémoire.
Though I would find it disconcerting to talk to an attractive Japanese woman and have her break out in a display of calisthenics.
Mind you, I would find it disconcerting to talk to an attractive Japanese woman, period. But that's just me.
