i can't get it to work either
perhaps the audio is an important clue
I thought she was maybe 'narrating' the directions, but maybe she is actually chanting a a magical clothes folding incantation!

i found the translation also:

"Start by laying the Tshirt flat and sideways in front of you, neck opening to your right. Find the centerpoint on the far side and pinch it with your left hand, about two inches in from the far edge.

With your right hand, draw a line from your left hand to the right edge of the tshirt, parallel to the edge of the shirt. This brings your right hand to the neck-opening side of the shirt. Grasp the edge with your right hand.

Now, while maintaining your grip, cross your right hand over your left, towards the opposite (waist-opening) end of the tshirt. Maintain the same imaginary line you've been working on (about two inches from the far edge of the shirt, parallel to the edge) and add the new edge to the grasp of your right hand.

This is where the magic happens. Simply uncross your hands and extend them in front of you, lifting the shirt perpendicular to the floor. Complete the fold by letting the loose arm hole drop to the floor and folding the shirt in half over it!

I think that lady was raised in a sweat shop folding shirts like that for most of her life

I never fold shirts. My cat would never forgive me (grin). As soon as they come out of the dryer, they get put in a big heap. My cat immediately hops on the heap and sorts them in such a way she can achieve the most comfort. When it comes time for me to wear one of them, I toss it in the dryer for a couple of minutes to "heat-out" any wrinkles ... then, on it goes.

I got this to work. The secret is how you pick up the edges of the shirt.
It must be one finger over and one finger under the cloth of the shirt. And once it folds, again one finger over and one finger under the shirt. When you pick it up it may look twisted a little, but adjust your pinch to face upwards instead of downwards and you'll see it smooth out.


I think it's pretty cool.

My method hasn't failed me yet. I just take a hanger and put it inside my shirt so both sleeves rest on it. Then I put the hook shaped thing over the bar in my closet...Done! No Japanese instructions needed.

Secretly we all hate you for that.
