Why it worked
The video works due to its relatable and slightly humorous self-deprecating caption, combined with a visually engaging subject. The text overlay in Japanese adds a layer of intrigue for non-Japanese speakers and direct communication for Japanese speakers. The 'fundoshi' comment creates a curiosity gap and a sense of shared experience around body image or clothing fit, making it highly shareable and comment-worthy.
