Shirota vs. 13 girl group in cake eating contest

The singing group Morning Musume, consisting of 13 girls, had a cake eating contest against Nobuyuki “the Giant” Shirota in their Christmas special. The totals of all 13 girls were combined and Shirota only ate for about 5 minutes of the 10 minute contest. (I hope Shirota got paid well for his appearance)
