Obviously there will be related videos that are missed out using this method, but it’s just a compilation for infotainment, let’s no go into details too much.

Keywords “Asia” and “Asian”… 13 vids with over a million views each…

The event, believed to bring good health to the babies, is held annually in temples across Japan where the kids would face-off each other to see who’s crying the soonest (and loudest)…

The above video [credits to garyjpn@youtube for the upload] is probably from Hiroshima in 2009; there are other slightly different format in other places, including in Tokyo where some real sumo wrestlers were involved.

But in Taiwan, it’s something different; the music belongs to the garbage trucks instead…

One of the wackiest music videos I’ve ever seen; call me an idiot, but I laughed from the beginning till the end… couldn’t resist, it’s just too funny, cute and weird.

Japanese lyrics and English translation available on Yojinbo.
