Ok, this has nothing to do with music of any sort, but I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. As someone who currently has a huge watermelon rocking and rolling around the bottom shelf of her fridge, this idea seems like pure genius and that sort of head-slapping "Why has no one come up with this before?"
Space in Japan is always at a premium, so smart farmers have begun creating square watermelon; the melons are grown inside rigid containers. Brilliant!
They, of course, fetch a premium price at 10000 ¥ (about $118), roughly the 4 times the cost of a traditional watermelon, but everything in Japan fetches premium prices.
This article is from 2001, so perhaps the prices have changed since then - the exchange rate certainly has!
