  • Where I'm from, this is what Japanese toilets are like.

  • OK, so why is there a tap on the top?

  • So, if you flush it,

  • Flush it, and the water goes,

  • and the water comes out!

  • So we can wash our hands,

  • And then when you go here, you just wipe you hands.

  • But sometimes you put soap here.

  • Really? Have you seen somebody put soap there before?

  • Yeah, somebody put soap here, so then you could just wash it here and just go.

  • So what are those characters on the handle?

  • This means, if you go up it means 'poo' or 'big'

  • And this character means 'small', so it's like 'pee'

  • And then you just go like this

  • If you push a button somewhere,

  • Actually, the seat warms up.

  • Is it warm right now?

  • Yeah!

  • So your bum will be warm

  • You go: 'Ahhh'

  • So this button,

  • sprays water water onto your private parts to clean it.

  • And this one will spray the water, inside your bum to clean it.

  • Like, if you had a poo.

  • And then this one is the stop button.

  • This means it's very low, the power of the water

  • And this is very high, going:

  • 'SHISHUISH!'

  • And this one goes:

  • 'Shaash...' Like that.

  • This might spray out and go: 'Swoosh'

  • 'Let's wash our bum!'

  • That's for private parts...

  • It won't wash it?

  • Oh wait!

  • Try washing your bum.

  • Oh!

  • It knows you're not there I think.

  • It pops out and pops back in.

  • We gotta be smarter than this toilet here...

  • Put your face in front of it, maybe it need to look at something...

  • Oh there we go!

  • 'Shriek!'

  • Hah, it knows you're there!

  • Uh, OK, I think if you...

  • Hands?

  • Yeah, you have to put some weight on it.

  • OK, there we go!

  • It's coming out!

  • 'Shriek!'

  • Look there it is, it's spraying!

  • Going back in...

  • 'Haha!'

  • Have you ever washed your bum with it before?

  • No...

  • You're going to test out the sprayer?

  • No! I don't want to...

  • 'I'll just fake it!'

  • So this is my dad, and he is going to test 'The Bum Sprayer!'

  • Yeah...

  • OK, here it goes

  • Ah!

  • It's cold!

  • Oh, it's cleaning my bum very nicely

  • Uhm,

  • I'm gonna adjust the power on the power setting

  • Oh yeah, that's harder

  • And nice and gentle, soft.

  • Oh, well it's very cold now.

  • I have to stop it!

  • OK

  • Am I done Aiko?

  • Yeah, you are done!

  • OK, thank you.

  • It's OK.

  • Bye, bye! See you next time.

Where I'm from, this is what Japanese toilets are like.
