Just because you're 70-years-old, doesn't mean you can't pole dance -- and kill it -- in front of millions.

A Japanese woman, going only by the name Tomoko, stunned on the judges on Italia's Got Talent when she pulled off her latest pole-dancing routine. Tomoko, who told the judges she came to Italy 43 years ago to study opera, didn't reveal what she was up to before she stripped off her robe and down to her bikini.

Tomoko's video has since been viewed over 700,000 times.
