    A clip of a news report about a contest in which contestants showed off musical instruments they created by recycling household items:

    Instruments featured in the video include:

    • A saxophone made from a pipe, a film case, part of a balloon, and a bit of air pump hose
    • A group of printers modded to play songs together
    • A combination of disposable chopsticks, aluminum cans, and other items that a kid uses to play the Hanshin Tigers fight song
    • Two aluminum cans and a straw create an instrument that can play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
    • A set of horns made from plastic bottles, cup ramen containers, and straws

    The plastic bottle horns won the competition, with the 49-year-old housewife that made and played them receiving a 500,000 yen check!
