We spotted this video on Facebook this morning via Japanese pop culture authority Danny Choo (we recommend following both his Culture Japan website and Twitter updates, both are quite insightful). It's the Transformers dancing to “Thriller.” The video was originally uploaded to Japan's hotbed of viral videos, Nico Nico Douga, but found its way to YouTube at the tail end of 2010. Just in case you aren't already responsible for one of the 100,000+ views of this video, we're sharing it with you today.
