I've witnessed this in person so many times that I had stopped noticing, but now that I think about it... it is pretty impressive.
Though I will add that I've taken many Shinkansen (Bullet train) and witnessed many cleaning crews and never once seen them line up to bow like in the video†. Usually they slip out quickly and quietly.

†: Almost always from Nagoya to Tokyo or the reverse, so perhaps it is just that this line is the no-bow line. It could also be that maybe they only bow for the first cleaning of the day. This would be similar to how when department stores open for the day, all employees will bow to incoming customers for a few minutes.
