I thought my video had stopped because that Japanese girl did not move her mouth at all when she spoke. I watched her segment three times and I'm still amazed.

I was surprised too. I thought they had accidently played in sound from another interview because at first I thought she wasn't speaking. Looking very hard I could see a little mouth movement.

I read somewhere that european and american people look at the mouth if they listen to someone, while japanese don't do it. Seeing her I understand that it wouldn't help, because she didn't move her mouth.

I haven't heard that before.  That's interesting.  Thinking about it, I suppose Japanese doesn't necessarily require a lot of mouth movement.  I wonder if that's true for other Asian countries, especially those with drawn-out vowels.
