They look like the dancers in Shiina Ringo's video 閃光少女(せんこうしょうじょ).

Or more specifically, it changes whenever Uniqlo comes out with a new seasonal lineup for them to advertise.

Do they have men's clothes?  It really, really makes me want to buy their clothes.  Like, I know it's kind of vain or whatever, but...this is the best advertising EVER.  I wonder if they have that brand on that site yesstyle...

ah, just found the clothes thing on their website.  Yes, in fact, they do have men's clothes.  But...they're kind of...boring?  I don't know.  I probably wouldn't buy those clothes.  Although, maybe I'd buy a hat (or scarf?  lol...) just to support them for making the greatest clock ever created in the history of mankind/the universe...

Actually, I buy 90% of my clothes at Uniqlo.  Yeah, most of their clothes are kind of boring, but they're wearable, and it's hard to find decent casual clothes in Japan.

I've got some of the clothes from the lineup they are plugging in the current clock (Heat Tech). The men's ones atleast are meant mostly as underwear/undershirts/roomwear/etc. They are very warm though.

that didn't even feel like a waste of time. I bet nobody ever had so much fun making a clock

I know, right? Every hour I am there to see the special 30sec dance. I also downloaded the desktop version. This clock makes me happy.

I could not run the desktop version because I'm on linux. I have recently installed Virtualbox though to use Windows inside KDE. It takes 2GB of my RAM, but hey, the app works!

Edit: Uhm....is it only me or does the desktop version not offer a clock at all?
I just get a lame screensaver sort of thing but none of that cool dance stuff...   sad

The "desktop version" for iPod touch/iPhone has everything...

I'd like a change to some (more revealing) spring clothing though. Winter is long over in Japan afterall.

You're certainly showing your location; it's -5° C with snow on two out of the next four days in Aidzuwakamatsu.

Kansai region ≠ Japan.

Then serve the revealing spring clothing lineup just to Kansai IPs tongue

I put the Anki window in front of the clock part and have it on in the background. The music is really good for my reviews and the changing pictures makes me feel active.

Here's another clock you might like.  Check it out around 2:20.

Good stuff; unfortunately all I could think of was that narrator doing the uniqlo dance.

I thought "well, I'll just watch it 'til the hour, to see the special dance." So I did. Then it all CHANGED COLOUR.

There's no turning back now.

I saw this in a bus station in Fukuoka while I was waiting for a bus to go home. It was a TV/advertising board that displays news and such.

Oh, they've changed into hoodies now. Guess it MUST be spring, since they look a little like dancing Easter eggs. >_>a

Nice that they've added some new music, too.

Someday I'll buy another screen just to play this all day long...

It's just after midnight in Japan, and all the dancers are asleep.  Even the music sounds sleepy.
