Dancing Pikachu videos are one of the best parts of the Internet, right behind Netflix and cat videos. It's just impossible not to smile when watching dozens of giant Pikachu gyrate in elaborate coordinated dance routines...even when one of those Pikachu is deflating before your eyes.

The Pokemon Company and the Japanese drink company Itoen just released a new commercial with over 30 dancing Pikachu to promote a new vending machine. The commercial, which was released in Japan earlier today, shows over 30 Pikachu dancing along to a bizarre German polka song.

Although it's a bit hard to tell because the video is in Japanese and features a bunch of Pikachu shaking their tails off, the commercial is to highlight a new promotion in which all of Itoen's vending machines have transformed into "Pikachu" vending machines. Along with Itoen's usual tea and water offerings, the vending machines also have a special Pikachu juice bottle.

Customers can also register on a special website for a chance to win special Pokemon-themed prizes, including Pokemon slippers, a Pokemon suitcase, or plushes of Pikachu and its friends.

Although you probably won't want to travel to Japan to try one out of these vending machines out, you can still check out the video above and marvel when the Pikachu form a giant PokeBall formation about 30 seconds into their dance.
