The Norwegian Seafood Council, founded to increase interest and demand for Norwegian seafood, has released its own dance video, Human Sushi.

"Human Sushi" is a sushi promotion video created as part of a campaign to get more people to eat Norwegian salmon and shrimp. There are "Grip Sushi", "Maki Sushi", and "Sashimi", each of which expresses how to make it with a dance of about 1 minute.

It sounds like a serious video when I write it like this, and I think that the dancers and creators are actually working seriously, but this is very interesting from the viewer's point of view.

For example, "Grip sushi edition". A man dressed in a white costume and a woman dressed in an orange costume will appear on the stage. It seems that the white costume represents "sushi" and the orange costume represents "salmon". After dancing for a while, the man crouches and the woman sits on top of it to express "grip sushi." The workmanship is reminiscent of Kin-chan's costume grand prize. After this, two more dancers will appear on the stage, representing a total of three sushi.

The sushi roll is even more surreal. A man dressed in a green costume representing "cucumber" dances an avant-garde dance, and four dancers who play the roles of "shrimp" and "shari" join. A total of five dancers are surrounded by a black cloth that imitates "nori", and "maki sushi" is expressed.

The last sashimi edition is pretty simple. Five dancers who play the role of salmon will appear, dance happily, and then just lie down on the floor.

Five dancers expressing "sashimi" Hmm ... are you licking sashimi?

Now that Japanese food is available all over the world, Norway may be the only country that pushes sushi to make such a promotional video. I'm happy. Please take a look.
