英語訛りで笑いを取る：Japanese Lesson in English accent

I found Japanese Lesson in English accent (click here to view shinbashi.swf) at Occidentalism, while searching for Sushi related postings. It's been around for years in Japan, but I find it the perfect match to 'English Lesson in Japanese Accent. The only difference is that, in the Japanese lesson, they make a remarkable progress. After Shinbashi part, they pronounce just like us!

The map and scripts are as below. Enjoy.
