This video of Japanese students performing synchronized walks is internet gold

The jaw-dropping video shows several students walking in precise unison.

An old video of Japanese students who have taken walking to a whole new level is going crazy viral again across social media platforms, and the reasons will become quite clear to you once you watch it. It shows several students dressed in black suits walking backwards, forwards, sideways, and diagonally - all in precise unison. The highly choreographed crossings seen in this video are called 'Shuudan koudou' (collective action), a group activity where people perform stunning intersecting walks. They have been traditionally performed by the students of Nippon Sports Science University for many decades now.
