Japanese show teases people with mob antics

Picture 3-24 Here's a video from a Japanese TV show that has a crowd of about 50 people doing strange things to lone pedestrians. If they pulled this in the US, there'd be lawsuits a plenty. Link

I thought you might be interested to see translations of what the crowd is shouting in those flashmob sequences:

First & Second Guys: "Tsunami da!" ("It's a tsunami!")
Third Guy: "Koitsu da!" ("That's the guy" or "There he is!", I'm not so sure on this one)
Fourth Guy: Nothing I could make out, just cheering
Fifth Guy: "Abunai!" ("Danger!" or "Watch out!")

It's mostly straightforward what they're saying from what happens, but I thought you might be curious nonetheless.

Oh, and here's a higher quality version of the video on YouTube.
