"The original title is "BRAIN WALL"."

Following overwhelming response (two comments) to an earlier micro-review of the weird and wild world of Japanese game shows, I'm back: with "Brain Wall" - or, as aaaaaaa4000 calls it, human Tetris.

It's not, really, much like the Tetris game - but I see the connection.

And, it looks like a lot of fun. If you're limber and don't mind wearing a gold lamé hooded jumpsuit.

My favorite of the lot was the second "breakdance" contestant. For riding it through to the end, if nothing else. The team event after that? Good heavens. I don't know what to say.

I think this video would be more fun for someone who understands Japanese - but the action alone is fun. My opinion. (8,147,547 views, when I checked, show I'm probably not the only one.)
