Of course, I couldn't resist checking that out. Sure enough, he does remove his clothes in less than a second (it's safe for work). There must be some trick to it. Clothing designed to be ripped away would be the most obvious thing.

Has to be rip-away clothes. It looks like he pulls everything off straight up. You can't do that with pants...

Very amusing. Do you get strange emails like this real often?

I definitely get more than my fair share of strange emails.

If I understood it right, he kind of says he was eight years enclosed on his bedroom (it's a Japanese social disadjustement phenomenon, "hikikomori"). He also yells at his mother many times and says he will strip off his clothes by request (for money). I don't know, this could be a parody or something. My Japanese is not good, so I may have not got it right.
I searched the site, and this is the page for the show:

If anyone remembers the Marx Brothers movie "Duck Soup", Harpo also removed his clothes in one second too. :lol:
