Video: Japanese road plays music while you drive

Another “only in Japan” moment brought to you by Hot Air. In this one, the road plays music. The “melody road” has ridges spaced at intervals so your tires play a song if you drive at the right speed, which is 28 mph. Too fast, and you either get the song in speed mode or it’s a mush. Too slow and its pitch drops until you get woozy. Even at the right speed it’s hard to dance to, but it beats getting a ticket. To me, it sounds a little like a mosquito playing a kazoo.
