A rough translation: (they basically repeat this same dialogue every time)
Voice over: Denkura Television Shopping!The clip is over five minutes long, but already by the 30th second, viewers are left scratching their heads. The uses of this "Magical Stool" become more ridiculous as the ad goes on. For example, some use it to sit, others use it to hold their arm in place while taking one's blood pressure, or even as an armrest to nap on a bench during lunch break.
Woman: Today we're happy to introduce a very useful and handy everyday necessity.
Man: Yes! We're here to introduce the "Magical Multi-Usage Stool"!
Woman: It's gorgeous!
Man: Yes! Whether for sitting or more, it stands out!
This introduction is followed by "testimonials" of customers using it multiple different ways.
This was sent to me by a Japanese friend as a joke, and most don't take it too seriously. But according to Japanese Wikipedia, this was a real ad aired on Denkura, which also is a real television shopping show in Western Japan.
Either way, it's a rather entertaining clip that gives you an idea of some of the most random things that appear only in Japan. Start saving up your 8,800 yen (around 80 USD) for your own gold magical stool!
