ummm...for that mallet one...they are pounding mochi...I don't think Japan is doing it purposfully...it's actually due to America, he's pounding it TOO hard (I've never seen it done like that irl, but I wouldn't be surprise due to America's strength)...I think they had an episode where Japan was pounding mochi too
