DS Kanji commercial is weird, even for Japan

We can't say we're experts on Japanese culture, but being gaming enthusiasts, we've seen our fair share of kooky and weird Japanese commercials (like every single Segata Sanshiro commercial). And while this latest commercial, which advertises Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun, cannot hold a candle to the man who gave his soul over to gaming, it still has a high entertainment value due to children dancing and one, we assume is a teacher, person in the background doing one of the most odd "dances" we've ever seen (at the end of the video).

Check out the video past the post break.

2. Reminds me of that Missy Elliot video with the little girls dancing. God, it cracks me up to see children bust a groove.

4. I think it's an imitation from the music video "I MY ME MINE" from "Polysics" ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=_9wSMuCJCkQ ), or maybe they made the music.
