The television programmes in Japan are just so strange. These Japanese are learning English in the form of aerobics. It sounds silly to me. This one’s Zuiikin English.
The women hear recites, “Take anything you want”, “Spare me my life” and “I was robbed by two men”. They do aerobics too! This segment is called ä¸?è§?çÂ?�?�ã??ã?©ï¿½?ã?« (Sankakukin Trouble or De ltoid Muscle Trouble):

The men are trying to learn the phrase, “Jaa sonna wakede.” And yes, they do aerobics too. It’s horrible!

And they are even not good at it. “I was robbed by two men” doesn’t sound like it.

by Nafcom (Jun 26, 2006 at 8 AM)Oh boy… What if she was a rape victim… The first two would be kinda inviting for the rapists, but the last song needs a script change. “I was raped by two men”.
