Brief Explanation

Two high-school girls are the main characters in this video. As they get on the train, they start “air-chairing,” or wall-sitting. The other passengers are apparently not too happy to see these girls’ peculiar behaviors gradually heat up and end up with bizarre dance moves and funny faces. When they finally stop and sit on the floor exhausted from moving around on the train, we come to notice that some of the seated passengers have their bags on the seat, and some are “manspreading,” sitting with their legs wide open. The video also tells the audience that the most unwanted behavior among passengers on trains is “sitting in bad-mannered ways” according to a research by Nishi-Nippon Railroad.
