A Google Video from Japan that, after you skip the intro to Bleach, has 15 minutes of amazing Rube Goldbergian contraptions! One after another of visually ingenious ways to produce the same little Japanese theme phrase. (Anyone can translate?
abirritate?)
EDIT: I found an explanation.
"What they're saying is "pitagora suicchi" or "Pythagora switch" instead of pythagora, think pythagoran. A pythagorean switch is apparently the japanese name for a rube goldberg machine like those in the video. I don't know 100% about that, but I do know that the show that's from is a kids show in japan that is actually called pythagorean switch.
In the song that's sung while one of the machines is doing its thing, the lyrics are basically what's going on eg 'it's rolling along the ramp' and so on.
I can't remember what they're talking about in the song where all the people are doing excercises, but I think it's also about their actions."
