Sometimes it seems like whenever a Western creator wants to get away with something really over the top and crazy, they just set it in Japan to take advantage of that “those Japanese are sooooo weird” stereotype while simultaneously distancing themselves from criticism.

The latest creators to do this are British electronic dance band Basement Jaxx, who have come up with something really, uh… special.

Before we let you watch, we’ll give you a heads-up that it’s somewhat NSFW-ish, mainly on account of it involving robotic butts twerking. We told you it was bizarre.

The video begins in a distant future where dancing has been forbidden or something, so a couple in lab coats who may or may not be scientists (danceologists?), or who may be regular people dressed in lab coats because it makes them feel smart, set to work creating a robotic butt that will teach humanity how to dance.

Somewhere along the way they have sex and someone sprays a robot butt with a water spritzer because at this point Basement Jaxx are just spitballing whatever weird crap they can come up with. Did we mention this is based in Japan?

The reason the video is making the rounds in Japanese media is because it stars some minor Japanese actors and is all in Japanese except for the repetitive singing. We presume Basement Jaxx’s next video will take a cue from this other band and star a cute Japanese girl doing cute Japanese things while being haunted by strange white people.
