WTF ? why is Matt responding like he knows what they are talking about ?
if he indeed does know japanese, I am greatly impressed

no way, Matt can't even speak Matt very well.....

Yeah, there's a translator there, you can hear her whispering the stuff to him and saying it back to them, though they cut most of it out.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

That's right - they often cut the translation to improve the flow. What is it with Japanese doing quirky performances for Western celebs?

See also Johny Depp being serenaded by pirate kids.

Good call on the Johnny Depp link, I was going to put that as well. The Japanese really know how to take celebrity worship to new, weird levels.

It's probably just a coincidence, but I read Matt fired his agent.

T-Man: URL(s)?

I was expecting him to be Jason Bourne.

I love how these celebrities are such good sports about all this. I would be all "WTF am I doing here"

Hive13: Maybe they get paid.

I couldn't believe they played I was Kaiser Bill's Batman at -2:07.

This clip and the Depp one are from the Japanese TV show "Gakkou e ikou" which literally means "let's go to school." The show dedicates itself to showcasing talented Japanese kids and teenagers, as well as doing the occasional human interest story. I think it was last year that they did a series of segments with famous Hollywood stars. There should be other clips out there starring Orlando Bloom and also Daniel Radcliffe.

The show was on for over 10 years and just recently (this month in fact) had its series finale.
