Billy Bolex's video: Morning Musume: Adventures in Belly Dancing

In the Hello! Morning episode of May 28, 2006, two teams from Morning Musume went around to restaurants in Tokyo representing countries participating in that year’s World Cup. In this segment, the “Over 20” team, Yuko and Natsumi (two of the founding members of MM), compete against the “Under 20” team, consisting of Makoto, Sayumi, and Reina, three then-current members of MM. They visit a Tunisian restaurant where they meet two voluptuous belly dancers who then coach them in doing a little dance. (Of course, the five girls, in their soccer uniforms, don’t show any belly.) The two teams then compete and the Japanese-speaking Tunisian restaurant managers have to pick the winners. Judging from the expressions on their faces, the restaurant managers seem to be having the time of their lives. All the girls seem to be enjoying themselves, especially Yuko who really gets into it. After the commercial break, a pair of acrobatic comedians come out to do a routine. Then, the girls on the winning team get to eat the Tunisian food. Yum yum!
