The Japanese culture is rich in excellent game shows as compared to our variety. Just try to compare this to Jeff Foxworthy asking you how many sides does a trapezoid have.

So the game here is to win at something like Even/Odds or some sort of hand based duel (a la paper-rock-scissors). The loser has to quickly protect himself with an umbrella from a bucket of quick-setting wax. Once you get hit it pretty much goes downhill from there because you don’t stand much of a chance of getting that umbrella up a second time. I’m rather impressed with the participants dedication to the game. The guy can barely move but he keeps playing along despite zero hope of winning.
