they cheated at the end. a small boy in a diaper is not permissible in marble rolling. i don't care how japanese he is, he should be making smooth balls out of mud.

There is a Japanese children's show called "Pythagoras Switch" (or "Pitagora Suiichi") which is what these children are emulating.
A number of clips from this show may be found on YouTube:

They were so cute! I can just imagine the boy when he gets about 13 or so, and finds his underwear-clad self has been all over the internet.
