On Wednesday October 24, 2012, the Ornithine Laboratory has made a new video available to the public on its website for the ‘Japan Otsukare University, Faculty of Ornithine’ (literally University of Fatigue, Faculty of Ornithine – http://www.otsukare-univ.jp/). The site was established for the fictional university, with a goal of ‘eliminating fatigue in the world’.
This video depicts a showdown between Kageki Shimoda and Pe Hayashiya in a powerful, colorful 100-meter dash like never before seen. Shimoda is a holder of one of the most prestigious literary awards in Japan – the Naoki Prize. Hayashiya is a comic-chat artist, one of Japan’s historic traditional arts.

At the site (available in Japanese only) Shimoda plays the ‘tireless’ character; a school principal who combines radical fashion sense belying his age of 72 years, and intelligence. His challenger is 70 year-old Pe Hayashiya, a comedian known for his trademark pink outfits.
In this clip, you can watch the couple running the 100-meter race and navigating over jump-ropes. Take a moment and enjoy the video.
