Morning Musume at their peak
This TV special showcases the idol singing group Morning Musume in a series of challenges, oddly framed in a Christmas special. Employing a syncretist style that's uniquely Japanese, most of the Christmas content has been supplanted by general holiday gaiety - not unlike a holiday version of their beloved Hello Morning television show, albeit twice as long. Imagine a holiday special in which the main activities include a soccer contest, a karate challenge, a sushi-making challenge, and an eating competition - but that's just the warm-up.
The second part of the Christmas special is a version of the well-known Japanese reality show, The Endurance - portions of which have appeared satirically on Comedy Central's Colbert Report. In this infamous segment, the girls from Morning Musume have steaks fastened to their heads while a hungry Aftrican Rock Monitor lizard creeps after them. Terror ensues - and of course it's extremely funny.
The special is more accessible with subtitles, and a dedicated web search may prove rewarding.
