All of these cats are so beautiful, and well behaved. I'm fairly certain of all the breeds, except the 2 black and silver striped cats. I'm pretty certain they are American Shorthairs or British Shorthairs, but how does one tell?
Just for thoroughness, please list all of the breeds in the video.
I posted this question in the video's comments section months ago, but they won't respond.
Thanks to all.

PS: Please try to watch the entire video. I think there are a total of 5 different cats.

The first one is a Black Silver Classic Tabby American Shorthair as is the one that wanders into the frame around :15.
The one at :54 is a Brown Spotted Tabby Bengal. A bit chubby!
The last one's a Blue British Shorthair.
They're probably all so well behaved because these are pedigreed cats that are probably shown and quite used to getting their nails trimmed. My show kitties are just as easy to clip.
edit: I translated the comments on one of their videos using Babelfish and they say the Blue cat is a Chatreux. Most definitely - doesn't have the right ear set/ears look too small. This is what a Chartreux looks like http://www.tica.org/public/breeds/2012/cx_c.jpg
edit2: I don't have five minutes to waste watching someone clipping cat nails. I fast forwarded it and there are FOUR cats in the video and they're exactly what I said they were.
those are Bangles its nothing to do with the breed though, the breed is known to be rather wild and spazzy though very playful. It all has to do with how they are raised. You will notice many cats owned as pets in Japan are rather calm like that, its because keeping domestic pets just for companionship is still a rather new thing, and their pets are pampered spoiled and treated very gently, true animal lovers in japan treat their animals with more respect an care than you in the UK or us in the US would treat them.
If you want a cat like that you need to raise them calmly, no rough play, lots of gentle handling and calming.
